We went to a small encampment with other families from our church. There was a little pond and it was lush, green and peaceful. Being beside, on and in the water was wonderful and the campfires at night and the S'mores were wonderful! Our parents has recently divorced and this time was so healing for me!

WOW...what a great offer!! My favorite summer vacation memory is when we used to go camping as a family in the 1000 islands, it was Labor Day weekend (we started school that following Wednesday) and it had already gotten cool. While sitting around the fire pit making smores, my dad melted part of his sneakers!!

My favorite memory is the first time my daughter saw the ocean, even though it has been 4 years I can still visualize her excitedly running all over the beach to feel the sand and water under her feet:)
Posted by: Windy Robinson | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 02:07 PM
My favourite memories are from our time at the beach in OBX. We enjoyed every day there. But one morning watching sunset we even didn' t know we got to see dolphins jumping in ocean. We reallized that later at home watching pictures. It was perfect moment - dolphin jumping infront of the sun that is comming up.
Posted by: Ilze | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 02:08 PM

Of course it always helps when Dad is right there in the midst of it all too!
Posted by: Rhonda V. | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 02:34 PM
Loads from my childhood and with our daughter - but something different was as a singleton going to a music festival held in an out of season holiday camp and making a giant dragon sandcastle on the cold beach with friends.
Posted by: Helenb | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 02:37 PM
When I was a kid, my family would go camping several times in the summer at a local lake. Me, my parents, my cousins & aunt and uncles, and my grandparents. My grandparents would take their pontoon boat, we would all pile on... (all 10+ of us!!) and play all day on the water. I sure do miss that boat.
Posted by: Katie | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 02:43 PM
My favorite vacation memory when I was younger involves going to Tennessee with my parents, sister and grandparents. We went to Opryland, the Smokies and had a wonderful time together.

Anytime we take the kids to stay at the beach. One loves the sand the other loves the water. Something for everyone :).
Posted by: Kerryn | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 03:35 PM
The impromptu vacation my Mama and I took to the beach. It was just the two of us and everything was magical. I do not think we laughed as much and as hard in those three days. We had no worries and no need to care for anyone but outselves and that was exactly what we needed. I also do not think we have ever done so many activites in three days like we did in this vacation. Another ladies only weekend will have to be on the books next summer!!
Posted by: cindy barriga | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 03:41 PM
My favorite summer memories are from when I was a child. We always went to the beach as a family. I remember my dad digging holes and burying us in the sand! Good times!

Posted by: Krista H | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 04:26 PM
So far, my favorite summer vacation moment...making crepes with whipped cream and strawberries for my boys, for breakfast...and watching them enjoy every bite. I don't get to make this often and it was one of the first things I did on their official first day of summer vacay. It was delish!!!!
Posted by: Elizabeth | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 04:29 PM
Going to Florida to visit my dad...all the time not letting the kids know we were going to Disney World. We told them we could not afford to go and that we could only go to Downtown Disney. The looks on their faces when they looked up and saw the castle in front of them was worth the whole trip!
Posted by: carrie | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 04:33 PM

Favorite memory... Sitting outside and seeing the ENTIRE Milky Way... Being a city gal, I've not seen that in years and years! It was amazing seeing all of the stars, and shooting stars!!
Posted by: HeatherC | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 04:46 PM
Well for now my favorite is the one we just took to Wisconsin this summer. I climbed up the water slides and went down time after time with my daughters. it was sooo much fun! and quite the feat for me as i have a torn meniscus that needs surgery and lots of aches and pains... but ooohhh it was soo worth it to laugh and play with them! Time with my kids - they grow up waaayyyyy too fast.!
Posted by: Victoria S. in OHio | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 04:49 PM

Posted by: Sam F | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 05:38 PM
One of my favorite summer memories was the trip we took to FL with my parents 3 years ago. We went to visit with my sister....had my DH and 2 DS along....everything from beach time, to restaurants chosen, to taking in a Tampa Bay Rays game.....was perfect. My mom and dad both wrote us letters about it being their best vacation ever....it means so much more now that my dad passed away this year!!

Posted by: graceincalifornia | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 05:46 PM
One of my favorite vacation memories happened this summer when my family went with a friend's family to the beach. We've never taken a family vacation with another family (other than other family members). It was so much fun! She's also a major scrapbooker too, so if I win, I'm planning on sharing with her. :)
Posted by: Jen Barkdull | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 05:46 PM

Posted by: Leslie Murphy | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:19 PM
There's no one memory but I love watching our son when we get to the beach- he has such a great time playing in the sand holes my husband digs and running from waves.
Posted by: jengd | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:23 PM
This summers favorite memory will be all the great movies we watched! We had a list and we saw them all!
Posted by: jennifer | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:23 PM
oh my goodness, what a spread of wonderful AC supplies. My favourite vacation memory is of my son, this last month we introduced a big visual schedule on the wall of what would happen tomorrow. Each day we would put pictures of our plans for the next day for him so see. It has been such a magic tool, all his anxiety is gone because he feels in control. I can't believe what a weight it has taken from our shoulders. I am so grateful for the friend who suggested it to me, it has made the last month the best one all year.
Posted by: Ruth | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:24 PM
I don't know if my favorite memory really counts as a vacation, since it was just a day trip, but it was just this summer. My husband, girls, dog, and myself went and spent the day on the water. Fishing, picnic, and just spending time together. It was a great little family day. THanks for the chance!
Posted by: Amanda J | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:27 PM
My family went to yeloowstone when I was about 7. It was so much fun and I have always wanted to go back! :)
Posted by: Natalie Winterstein | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:27 PM
When I was a kid we went to a lake with cabins and stayed for a week. My sister was pretty little (3?) and went wandering off to the basketball courts. It was a time when we were either at our cabin or my aunt's cabin, so no one was too concerned if someone wasn't always there. (I know this sounds creepy, but it's really not). As soon as my mom realized she was gone there were very nice people bringing her back. She was happy and not scared at all. It is totally like her to 1) be at the basketball courts and 2) be totally comfortable in a strange situation.
Posted by: Jill | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:29 PM
On a very long family road trip my siblings and I counted how many semi trucks we could get to honk for us. We also tried to find license plates for all 50 States. We didn't find all 50, but we did find Hawaii! Car trips give time for lots of family bonding.
Posted by: Carla Heslop | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:30 PM
my favorite vacay memory is meeting up with my high school friends at the outer banks a few years after we graduated - so much fun!

Posted by: Amber Rasmussen | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:51 PM
When I was little we used to own a boat. My mom, dad, sister and I would load up and head to the lake for the entire weekend. I think we were all happy then. I was about 4 or 5. It's the only time I can remember where my dad and mom seemed to like each other.
Posted by: Amanda Abernathy | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:52 PM
Riding the train to the Indiana State Fair on Thursday. My five year old son was in heaven. He also got to ride a pony at the fair and it was just a REALLY good day for him. It was awesome to see how much fun he had :)
Posted by: Jennifer Brannies | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 06:54 PM

Summer is my favorite season! Our favorite family memories are times at the beach, where we are now for three weeks vacation. We love spending the day taking pictures, swimming and sitting under the umbrella reading and building sandcastles. We love to eat crabs and crabcakes for dinner, then take a walk on the boardwalk. Thanks

Going to the beach is my favorite vacation memory. One year we went to California and had a blast. We rode the ferry with friends, rode a ferris wheel, and had a fun time. We had such a relaxing vacation at the beach. Every night we went walking, and the fresh air felt amazing.
Posted by: Reilly | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 07:13 PM
My favorite is when I was in high school and we drove across the country to Seattle (from MI) to visit my brother. We stopped in Yellowstone along the way and it was just an amazing and epic trip. :-)
Posted by: Rachel Dallaire | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 07:16 PM
WOW! What a prize! It's so hard to pick one favorite summer memory. I'd have to say it was the summer day five years ago that my son was born.

My favorite summer vacation memory is the one we are creating right now. My 3 siblings along with our children have rented a home near our parents at the beach to surprise them with a reunion. It's the first time I have slept under the same roof with my 3 brothers in about 30 years. And my parents are happy they did not have to travel!

Posted by: Shawn Wenrich | Monday, August 15, 2011 at 07:42 PM
On vacation when the kids were little we rented a touring car to drive around and see the sights. It was a tight fit, but the weather was perfect (and there was no bickering). It was so fun.
