[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up believing that we traveled a lot. I didn't realize there were bigger and longer trips to take, and I loved our little trips. We were in NY, and they were all road trips for 3-4 days, staying in motels with a pool and bringing most of our food in a cooler. Boston, Mystic CT, DC, Philly, Lancaster, Poconos, Upstate NY lakes...

We bought 25 cent postcards for souvenirs, ate at places like Denny's, and used whatever coupons and teachers discounts we're available.[/quote]

This was my childhood summer too!   Always drove to local places -- the Poconos, Niagara Falls -- and stayed at motels along the way, where my sister and I enjoyed the simple pleasure of getting a vending machine soda over ice from the ice machine.   I still fondly remember the motel pool lifeguard who taught 8-year old me how to do a backwards dive off the diving board!   I kind of miss the creativity we had in finding the joy in little adventures.

We're looking at a European vacation this summer, but after reading these posts I want to take my kids by car to Niagara Falls![/quote]

I love this post PP and other PP!

We had the same vacations growing up but always had fun![/quote]
