Good morning!

Do you have a favorite memory of a trip you took with your family as a child?

We did trips all the time since my parents were both teachers.

Disney World/Florida for two weeks when I was 7 (so fun) was probably the best memory I have.

But we went camping all summer and went on ski trips in the winter (one when i was in high school and a big group of friends were there with their families).

I was pretty blessed. We did a lot of fun things.

good morning

we never took trips except to iowa to visit my grandparents (once a year)- and twice to virginia to visit my other grandparents.

i guess the first time i met my grandparents in virginia would be a good memory .. i was in ... second grade? so i was about 7 or 8.

yeah, my mom doesn't travel well AT ALL and my grandma didn't travel well either so ...... my brother was 10 before we really met them.

isn't that weird?

I remember our trips to Disney. One in first grade and one in 4th. We went to LA and Tahoe in 8th grade. I also remember when we'd go camping with my Mom's family.

I think part of the reason I'm so desperate to go on a real family vacation, is that we only ever travel to Canada to see Mark's parents. I want to broaden their horizons.

We worked from 2-5am last night, so I'm hoping I can squeeze in a nap today, but it's also a Wednesday, which is driving all over tarnation day.

My favorite trip was to Virginia Beach when I was around 10 - by that time, my sisters had moved out and started lives of their own, and my parents weren't miserable around each other yet, so I remember it being a blast, being spoiled, running around doing touristy things, and hanging out with cousins, aunts, and uncles that lived in the area that I've since lost contact with.

I went to Disney as a young teen as a babysitter for my sister. Her (now ex) husband was a jerk, it was blazing hot, and it sucked. But I know I *could* have had fun under different circumstances, so I can't wait to go back. Shockingly, Joe was there, too (my sister and his dad were down there for a conference, and both brought their families) - so we were staying right down the hall for an entire week and never met until 3 years later.

good afternoon. You guys have been busy today. lol

I'm in Saint John again. It's so lovely and quiet in my hotel room.

The drive was really long though - 4 1/2 hours. I don't normally mind it but it seemed to take forever today. Maybe because I'm not sleeping anymore.

I think I'm going to go to the gym. Oh, and i need toothpaste.

There. Now you know everything about me today.

**NOW CASTING FABULOUS, OUTRAGEOUS AND FUNNY FAMILIES FOR A NEW DOCUSERIES, “MY FAMILY”
MAJOR CABLE NETWORK is searching for a large, extended and multi-generational family to be the stars of their own comedy reality show. We’re looking for funny families that REDEFINE THE TRADITIONAL and BREAK THE MOLD of your typical ......ho-hum American household.

This show will document their lives and explore the family’s complexity while witnessing the craziness, chaos and love that makes their family special.

• Do you find yourself having to explain your family dynamic to those unfamiliar with how things work in your non-traditional household?
• Do your siblings, parents, in-laws or hired help bring a new element that pushes the envelope? Maybe someone is in a May/Dec relationship or has taken on responsibilities or roles that might deviate from the norm? Perhaps one of them is gay or was adopted from a far-flung exotic locale? Is there someone of a different race or ethnicity that’s mixing things up in your previously homogeneous family?

If your family puts the FUN in dysFUNctional, then this is the show for you!!!

When I was a kid we went to Bodega Bay, Ca once or twice a year. It's where The Birds was filmed. We would get a hotel room, then we rented an RV once and stayed on the beach. After that, my Dad went out and bought a fully stripped 19 foot RV for $1500. It had a driver seat, an orange toilet and an engine. It took forever and a ton of work to rebuild it, but it happened. Then we'd cram 2 adults, 4 kids and up to 6? dogs in it and go.

oh dear

mike has called me three times tonight.

first, josie got into the mayo and was shoving it into her mouth saying "Yum" (truly my daughter, lmao).

second, josie climbed up onto the toilet to get the bandaids down from the shelf above

third, he hears the whine of the shower and goes in and she has the water running and is climbing up onto the toilet again.

charlie would NEVER have done any of this.

I told him to tie her up until I get home, lmao. she's going to be such a nightmare
