I never expected the 2nd time I'd go there to be going with my own husband and 4 children... I didn't even want a husband (boys smelt LOL) let alone a child... heaven forbid 4 of them!... but then again I was 7 (and if you'd have told me 2 of those children would be lurgy-carrying boys I'd probably have ran screaming into the night at age 7 LOL)
I never knew I wouldn't get the chance to go with my own granny- she didn't come with us in our 1985 visit as she wanted my parents to enjoy it with just the 4 of us (mom, dad, me and sister) by the time we saved the money to go again (we're in the UK) granny was too ill to travel and so we never went back... now we're going back I'm 29, my sister is 32 and she's going to be a disbride, my kids are 10, 5, 4 and 1 and they're getting to do what I never did- walk down main street with granny and grandad, I know it'll mean the world to my mother.
I do remember snow white telling me she liked my dress though and I remember to this DAY what dress it was, what shoes I was wearing... my eldest is 10 and I still remember it like yesterday!
