My three sisters and I have begun planning our yearly vacation together. We have been doing this now for the past several years and it is always soooo much fun!
You see, for years, after we had all moved away from each other, while busy raising our own families and planning our own immediate family vacations, with limited time off, we just were not able to get together at the same time at the same place very often (with the possible exception of funerals).
So, now, that the four of us are all pretty much empty nesters, and too, that we are learned in our old age about the importance of making quality time together, we make the extra effort to do so.
We’ve used my house in South Carolina twice for our meet-ups and we met last summer at my sister Pam’s in Colorado. And so, this year, we are planning our get together for later in the summer at Linda’s in Pennsylvania. It will be our first time using her home and her town as our vacation paradise for a week. And, our first chance to embarrass her at all her grocery stores, mall, movie theater, etc! Woo hoo!
I love my sister peeps. Who, but they, love you all the time, no matter what?
The pictures below are of our last get together in South Carolina. I am saving the Colorado pictures for a separate post as I have a whole story about bucket lists, whitewater rafting, jumping off a bridge into the Poudre River and TATTOES!
And they thought I wouldn’t really embarass them. Tee hee!
This is us at Cypress Gardens. I'm at the helm, Bonnie at the stern! Linda is the platinum blonde in the middle. Pam beside her.
Pam is the butterfly. Bonnie is the caterpillar.
This is them from the rear!
Pineapple lush cake for Pam's birthday! You'd think four grown women could do better than this!
Since we are writing about Sister Vacation | Cindy's Country Corner, Have you ever considered going on vacation with both your kids and your parents? It can be one thing everybody will need to experience. This variety of vacation can bring the generations closer together. Priceless memories shall be made that will last a life time.
If I had a sister, I would be the EEEVIL one. (Now picture me twisting the right side of my mustache and rubbing my hands together in an evil sort of fashion). Tee hee!
Carrie, You’re Dick Dastardly?
Well then, Drat, drat, and double drat! Curses, foiled again!
Oh, no, you didn’t!! Could you pick a worse picture with me in it. I guess I look that BAD in all of my pictures. We did have a wonderful time in SC! …And, I didn’t help make that cake! (well, I did but I’m not taking any credit!)
Linda, Tee hee!
We can hope! 😀
I know a family who had seven daughters. The daughters married and had two boys each!!
I always wanted a sister, big sister or little sister. The gods gave me two half brothers. LOL So then I wanted a daughter. And the gods gave me two boys! So now from my healthy child I’ve ordered granddaughters. I’ll probably get more boys!! LOL
Mari, I’d say you’re chances are 50/50 for getting a granddaughter, but that isn’t actually true. Maybe his wife’s family will be more genetically predisposed to girl babies! Let’s hope!
