When I was growing up my parents took us on vacation once a year. Usually it was to visit my dads family in East Tennessee or my moms family in the UP ( Michigan) There were some other trips too but those were the main places. It wasn’t until a couple years ago I got my passport and decided I really craved different culture. It always seemed when I was a kid that traveling was only used as a break from everyday life and work. It’s truly one of the best things I’ve ever done. I haven’t been many places yet, so far Canada and England... though my goal next is Ireland. The world is so big and there are so many things to see and learn, even on just a personal level.
