We were taking my daughter on my first vacation to Walt Disney. We knew it was going to be a long ride, with my daughter my girlfriend, her mom, and 3 adopted children. We first prepared to share the driving. Leaving CT we got stuck in NY traffic for about 4 hours we had just moved past the Bronx and I said well my time is up, right after I finished eating a chicken wing and threw it out the window and it almost went in the window of the car in the other lane.
Moving right along, we get to North Carolina to stay for a day of rest and by then we had run out of selter water. We went to the grocery story and we ran up and down the asiles considering we were unfamiliar with the layout of the stores there, – three grocery stores later we hit the jackpot – they had every flavor you could think of and we got addicted grape fruit seltzer.
Finally we get to Florida – of course laying out our funds we incorporated going to a presentation on purchasing an executive suite for a week or two as long as it wasn’t already rented, but that’s another topic. We decide to go out early and have breakfast each morning and go to the park later in day when the noon day sun has started to set -the heat was unbearable. This was a must do vacation for my daughter for a plethora of reasons and it needed to be a vacation not a visit to our relatives or a funeral.
Of course at my daughter’s age and in my younger days I chose to ride the rides with her. We got on a ride (I forgot the name) it was a subway ride during a water main break. I didnt’ read the information or the name of the ride, I heard, “Mommy let’s get on this one” and we got on the ride, So we are sitting on the ride, and it seems to be moving – when all of a sudden the gush of water comes in from my right and hop out screaming for everyone to get out – save your lives!!! Well I just embellished a little, I didn’t say “…save your lives” but I did scream get out. My friend Jackie looked and smiled and reminded me it was just a ride!
This was my most memorable trip – 4 hour traffic, chicken wing out the window, free tickets by watching a presentation we were not interested in, searching for seltzer water like drug addicts (no hard feelings – I mean before an addict got clean), lastly so engrossed in a ride the imagery seemed real.
The absolute best was – me and my daughter went on a vacation together!
