What family holidays/vacations did you take growing up?

We used to go to Great Yarmouth and stayed on a Caravan site in Caister. I always remember wearing my favourite jelly shoes that I loved to wear so much.

Merrivale Model Village 1978 aged four.

It was always either camping trips to state and national parks, renting a cabin on a lake, or renting a bungalow on the seashore.

@robingoodfellow Did you like camping or a bungalow/cabin better?
@Musicman all of it was special to me. When I was really small we did tents, later my dad bought an Apache camper.
I went back to the log cabin a few years ago just to see if it was how I remembered.
Exactly the same. No one was renting that morning so I sat on the porch for an hour and basked in the nostalgia.

@robingoodfellow Yes it is. We have all the comforts of home with us. This Spring we want to go back up to Virginia. Visit my parents grave and see old friends. Then my wife is from Rhode Island. She would like to go up there and visit friends. See her dad's grave. Being retired we have the freedom to take a two month trip and go. With the motorhome we have a condo on wheels with us. No packing and unpacking of suitcases. It is a fabulous way to travel.
@Musicman the ultimate retirement
