vacation and travel
i opened a ziploc bag of long forgotten treasures today, and was immediately transported to the endless beaches of florida’s gulf coast. long before we started traveling back and forth to southern france, we used to vacation every april on north captiva island in florida (near sanibel). our kids were quite little then, but it is still some of their favorite memories. france for them was formative, and challenging, and sometimes fun. but florida…florida was easy. fun and easy. we tried to explain the difference to our kids between travel and vacation. florida was vacation, and france was travel. the objectives were different. but they were 6 and 12. they didn’t care about objectives.
bits and pieces from florida
Ahhh, a trip down memory lane for me, too! I was raised on the gulf coast of Florida and vacationed on Sanibel Island before there was a bridge (a fun 2hr ferry ride instead). I recognize “pointies”, “volcanoes”, and “snails”, but what are those Medusa headed things?? Thanks for the visit to the back closets of my mind.
