Hot Time Summer in the City ~ Reminiscing About My Best Summer Vacation ~ Orlando

It’s amazing how time passes so quickly. Many of you may be aware that I really like hot, humid weather. My loyal readers know I live in New England, but I really believe I was meant to live down South.

When the kids were 11 and 7, we took them to Orlando in August for a family vacation. It wasn’t as crowded as in the winter months, and many of the children who live down south were already back in school. August was considered “off-season,” so our rates were really reasonable

Reminiscing about what a fantastic time we had taking in all the things to do in Orlando, my oldest daughter is already making suggestions that she would like all of us to take a family vacation next year. By then, my soon-to-be-born grandson will be old enough to be portable, and ‘Lil Moomette will be at a great age to enjoy all the activity. Family vacation includes Charming Son-in-Law’s parents from Vermont.

Now that my daughter’s a married Mom herself, I’m passing the baton, and am going to suggest that she obtain all the online travel guides from Trusted Tours & Attractions and make arrangements for everyone. I’m even going to hint that since I Love New York, I wouldn’t mind her looking into things to do in New York for my Birthday, which is in January and taking some New York City tours.  It would be a terrific opportunity to visit the shopping district and do some serious shopping to stock my eBay store, or spend New Year’s Eve in the Big Apple!

Second Time Around ~ Family Vacations & Tours ~ Grandchildren Included

Now that summer’s officially here, along with the hot, humid weather that I absolutely love (really), Darling Daughter and I were talking about the memorable family vacation we took to
Disney World in August many years ago.

The kiddos were about 7 and 11, and we had saved for a year to take that trip and stay at the Polynesian. My granddaughter, ‘Lil Moomette, will turn 2 in October, and Darling Daughter is already making noises that she would like to make the trip again, only this time with both sets of grandparents in tow!

I think we’d have a blast, and hope that my Baby Boomer body will be able to keep up the pace like I did so long ago!

This time around, I’m going to let my daughter do the planning, and suggest she contact Trusted Tours & Attractions for reservations. There’s plenty of things to do in Orlando that we didn’t get to do the first time around. Charming Son-In-Law has been there with his family too, so we’ll have to put our collaborative heads together and check out the online travel guides.

Since we’re all from New England, we can get a jump start by flying out of New York, and maybe even leave a day ahead and take in some New York City tours!

Trusted Tours and Attractions offers discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America.
