Day 10 of the 30 Day Blogging Challenge-The Best Trip Of My Life

The Best Trip Of My Life (So Far)

I've been tremendously fortunate in my life to have had amazing travel adventures. I'd rather travel than eat(but it's a close race) so I'm always planning the next getaway. But if I MUST pare it down to my favorite, I have to pick my cruise through the Panama Canal, Caribbean and Mexico with my kidlets. 

It isn't just the trip that was my favorite, but the time in my life that contributes to it bringing such fond memories. All told we were gone 18 days and to say that it was the trip of our lives isn't exaggerating. It really was a blast. Please don't judge the photos...this was 2001 and they are pilfered from my scrapbook. Yes I used to scrapbook...religiously...but that's a topic for another day.

Yep...that big ole ship was home for two weeks!!

Best time ever with the kidlets!

My little one lost her tooth in Aruba....tough life that one...

Livin the life...

Now they are all grown and have lives of their own but I know that they look back as fondly as I do on that trip. It was when we were a family and all together and experiencing things for the first time all at the same time...

Day 3 of the 30 Day Blogging Challenge-My Favourite Quote

Well this topic seemed to be very easy and straightforward. My favourite quote is easy and comes to mind immediately. I've told everyone I know that I want it etched somewhere permanent when I'm gone. It meant so much to me at one time in my life and still holds importance today. But how to explain why it is my favorite. It for sure is not profound. It for sure is not smart. But it for sure IS wise!

"Time of your life, huh, kid?"- Guido the killer pimp (Risky Business)

**warning...colorful metaphors and adult content in this video**

This quote represented so many things to me:

• Personal accountability
• Cause and effect
• Play and pay
• Tangerine Dream
• And most of all that "morning after" feeling of "oh *&@$ what have I done"!!

Now don't get me wrong! Most of it was entirely worth it....but that sinking feeling in your stomach when the panic and consequences set in.....that was the magic moment. The moment you ask yourself whether or not it was all worth it. Make sure the answer is YES!!
