Life on Florida’s West Coast

Vacation Traditions

I’ve never had that one special place where I vacation each and every year. I tend to pick a new place to explore whenever I have some time to get away. There are a few places I’ve gone back to over and over, but on an annual basis. I like to revisit Williamsburg, VA and Washington, D.C. Other than that, I make it a habit to see as much as possible.

I have one friend who goes with her family and another family to a cabin in the Smokey Mountains every year. I have another friend who likes to go annually with her husband to the Tropicana Las Vegas. Yet another friend always spends her free weeks in London. They’ve made traditions of it. I was all for having a vacation tradition with my family, but my ex-husband was almost impossible to convince to even take a vacation. We did so infrequently and he just let me plan it all.

My daughter is almost 5. She is all too happy to make Orlando our annual treat. I think it’s a fine tradition as long as she is young enough to enjoy it, plus it is only about an hour from home. As she gets older, I’m hoping she and I can start a more elaborate annual travel tradition.
