Maryland- going into the LL Bean place. I have never bought anything from here, but it was cool being here. 3. Our hotel/cabin in Maine. It was the fall and it was awesome 4. Weekend trip to Williamsburg and DC when we lived in Virginia. Dad wanted to teach us soooo much. 5. A week at Disney World. We stayed outside the park. I was in 8th grade. It rocked. 6. My first cruise in 5th grade. We went with another family. Adventures in Babysitting were playing on board. The theatre was small…It was cool 7. London England. This was in college but it was still awesome. I was able to see Phantom and a play called The Lady in Black…Spent 21st bday here 8. Oregon- went whale watching and saw the Red Wood Forest 9.

Those are great memories!
Great list. The only place I've been to on your list is London, England. Maybe I'll look into some of the other areas you've mentioned for a possible future vacation spot.
Wow great list, and great memories :) Did you see the reindeer too? ...too bad for cousin Billy :)
I was just talking with my parents about when we visited Biltmore when I was a kid. I'd like to go back now that I'd actually appreciate seeing it. ;)
Happy TT!
i heard santa's sleigh bells once! I swear! great list, i love vacations and the memories that go along with them. happy tt!
Most of the places I have been too but as an adult of course. The first time I went to the States was in 71 visiting my aunt in Wisconsin and then from 1988 - 1996 when she died. I have great souvenirs from that time and we travelled through almost all States lol ! London of course I know very well my son lives there although for the moment he is in Amsterdam.
Nice souvenirs for you !
Great list!
Great memories.
I have been to most of the locations on your list.
Have a wonderful Thursday
My TT is posted
Glad you got to go places as a kid. WE only went camping at the state park but then again, where else would you take a ton of kids!
I've never been anywhere on your list. I envy you your trip to London. That city's always been on my list of places I want to see. Fear of flying keeps me away...that and money.
Happy TT! Mine are up.
Ok Sis.... I think your memory is fading.. Shouldn't Maryland be Maine?? It was a fun trip and beautiful...
Sounds like great Christmas memories. I don't think I've ever been anywhere but home with family...and given how stressful THAT can be...I might think about some other places!
I've been to Asheville and the Biltmore -- loved them!!
Sounds like some great vacations.
A week in Disney world? Wow ~ I'm jealous!
Great memories!
Hope your Thursday is awesome!
Great list. Sounds like you had some great vacations.
My 13 are up.
All great trips. I went to England in college too...I'll never forget it. Happy Thursday!
Sounds like you have had some fun vacations! I went to Disney World when I was about 14/15, we had a lot of fun!
What awesome memories! I spent my 46th birthday in London...it was great!
wowzers, you and I share alot of places in common vacation wise. We were in Cherokee and saw all the Native Americans that looked soooo poor we couldnt bring ourselves to go to the Biltmore in Asheville.
If you love houses like that though, go to Newport RI
interesting to read your list of 13; of all thsoe places I have only been to the GC. wasnt it amazing when you first approach it? can only imagine what the settlers thought.
Ooh, neat. I'm busy writing those down and seeing where we can take our own kids this summer!
Happy TT!
I've never been to the Grand Canyon but it's on my list. I like the one about the reindeer on the roof! Poor guy.
So much fun! I remember going to NM with my family and being caught in a hail storm!
I would love to go to England. And I want to see Biltmore near Christmas, I heard it's spectacular.
Enjoyed your list.
Great memories!
Happy TT!
I will Exercise for Comments!

great list, sounds like some amazing memories
fun list! most of my childhood family vacations were camping or weekend trips to salt lake city to visit my great aunt, but we did go to san francisco when i was in 2nd grade. i think i first fell in love with the bay area then. i got to go to maine with some cousins when i was 16, and that was a fabulous trip!
happy TT! thanks for visiting my list!
Great memories... I also went to London in college (well, just after graduation). I saw Phantom for the first time when I was there. It was awesome!
Unfortunatly we didn't have any money to go on holiday when I was little, but now I'm older I don't mind as much as I used too.
I'm sure those holidays give great memories.
Thanks for visiting my TT!
Great list!
*laugh* Cousin Billy stepped on a nail but you didn't care... *giggle* Reminds me of myself. Great list! Great memories! Will have to post some of mine sometime.
