Every couple of years we would go see my Grandparents. I tried to get excited about it, but it was hard. All of my cousins were older and not around. So I had to sit there quietly for hours while my parents visited different family members.
Once when I was 16 on the way back from New York we went to Salem Massachusetts for three days and toured the whole Salem Witch Trial stuff. That was really fun. Then when I was a senior in college we went to Paradise Island in the Bahamas for Thanksgiving. My birthday was that week too so it was really special. And for the first time in my life I was actually warm on my birthday. 😊
