While on vacation, my parents would encourage us to get something to commemorate the trip. I am sure they would have preferred a souvenir specific to the area we were visiting, but I typically gravitated to my favorite toy lines. 😅
It was a bonus when we'd stumble onto a gigantic toy store filled with toys we'd rarely see in our own hometown. 😁
While traveling, my father focused on the road, so he'd rely on the family to spot stops along the way. I was pretty good at locating places, though it helped when they had those tall signs visible from the highway. 😉
I was good enough to steer the family in the right direction, they gave me the nickname "Eagle Eye"!
As a kid I was a big bundle of energy, so being cooped up in the car for hours was extremely excruciating! 🤯
There were years our parents would pick us up right after the last day of school to head straight out of town for a long vacation.
As my usual reaction, I had a strong reluctance to go. 😮💨😅
True Story!
There was a cute girl in class that I liked. It was one of those "worst kept secrets", so most of the kids my age knew. Once, a kid asked if I had ever kissed her. I MAY have led them to believe I had...even though I had barely spoken to her, let alone kissed her! 😉😅
If you had asked me, spending an entire summer day on my bike was definitely not a waste of time! 😁🚲
