We had a huge family trip to Lake Tahoe years ago and all of the adults (parents and 5 adult children + spouses) remember drama, arguments, drunken embarassments etc. But my sisters 3 kids remember it as one of the best vacations of their lives "Because the family was all together." So amazing that they remember the good when we adults were focused on the petty things. They are so much wiser than we are.

Paris - an opera singer in the courtyard outside our hotel room who we made a Wiki Stik figurine of as a buxom woman but turned out in daylight to be a eunuch.

Denmark - all my sister remembers is that her hair wreath was too heavy to hold up and she cried the whole time (we were in a wedding)

Disney World - age 7 - I remember my younger sister had a birthday and had a chocolate chip pancake for breakfast that day. I remember the dancing ghosts in the haunted house ride and my brother taking me into the cold water at the beach. We didn't take many family vacations, and those are the few (odd) details I remember.

I always try to structure in a few activities planned solely for the kid, so that I won't have to feel too guilty that I have dragged him to lots of stuff he's not interested in. For example, a side trip to Roswell to check out the alien museum, on our way to Taos. The side trip to the Bigfoot museum on our way back from Humboldt County (do you sense a trend here?)

So true!

Peru - age 7 - I remember eating bistek y papa fritas (thin steak with french fries) 3x a day because I was such a picky eater and would not eat anything else.

Italy - age 9 - water, glass blowing, fresh coconut slices on the street that I could buy with a 2 colored coin (Venice). I remember the time I had banana gelato and how much I hated it. I remember having chocolate and my mother yelling at me cause it had dripped all over me (Florence).
