Where did your family go on vacation? What are your favorite memories of the trips you took together?

I told about some of these already but I will expound a little more on one of them to Yellowstone. I don't know how big I was but I do remember watching all the bears on the side of the road. We even had one that stood up on the door of the car or rather leaned his front paws on the door as he stood up. I also remember seeing one in a tree, a small cub, and wanting to go over and photograph it with my Brownie Instamatic. I realize now why mom and dad wouldn't let me do it. Also there was a big buffalo in the filed and I did go to the side of the road but that was as far as I could go as well and I also realize now why. It seemed also that Old Faithful went hundreds of feet into the air. I was mildly disappointed in 2010 when we went there again and it seemed to barely get started before it was done. It still is a magnificent thing to behold but to a young child it was all the more spectacular. It was a fun trip as I remember but it seems like the upper falls of the Yellowstone River was viewed from the other side of the river. I think we did actually go down to the lookout as well that was right by the falls. Needless to say it left a huge impression on me.
