[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 436828, member: 6705"] Thermos, sandwiches... Nostalgia has just grabbed me by the throat!!! It wasn't Disneyworld. It was White Sands and sliding down the dunes on a flattened cardboard box. Or getting a drink from the fountain at Fort Bliss to hear Charley talk - Charley was a horse-shaped tree above the fountain. Or playing in the arroyos, walking around in the desert. Swimming at the Hilton. (We had season passes there... The pools are now long gone, more's the pity. I think the passes for the three of us - me, Mom and Dad - cost $10. Total. But this was 30 years ago!) And Carlsbad Caverns... Hanging out at my grandparents and picking peas with Grandma, napping after lunch with Grandpa. And the one summer I got to fly (!) to Houston to see my friend K, whose parents were in a NASTY custody fight and she was temporarily living with her Grandparents. (It was the one and only time I played golf on an actual course. I hated it.) Riding in the back of my Grandparents' station wagon to Santa Barbara to see their friend, getting to go to Hearst Castle and Solvang... [/QUOTE]
