What was your very first Family Vacation??

The first one I remember was a trip around Lake Superior. It was really cool...we camped on the shores all around the lake. It was that trip that I got my love of rocks from....we went to one beach that is hidden unless you know where it is. It is a rock beach and we collected agets and other cool gems. We met an old native that showed us a really cool cave kinda thing where we could find amethysts. Lake Superior is so beautiful and so fast, I think it has to be one of my favourite spots to take a vacation.
 
We went to Wildwood Crest and stayed at the Catalina and the Conca'dor. I just turned 15. There were 6 of us in 1 room and we had a blast!! It was the 1st time I ever saw the ocean, I loved it!!
 
When I was like 6 we drove out west and went to the Grand Canyon, Royal Gorge, Bryce Canyon, & seen old faithful(Is that at Yosemite?)..
My first family trip with my girls was Virginia Beach/DC with Mandy..
And Niagara Falls was Cassie's first trip..
The Smokey Mountain weekend trips don't count..;)
 
The earliest one I remember was when I was 6 yo and we drove our van to Panama City Beach. I have a pic of me standing by the ocean holding a float with a goofy grin on my face. I was amazed about all that water.:)
 

We always had the same vacation, every year. I'm not sure what kind of a vacation it was for my mother or my aunt, but this is what we did. Our family, and my aunt and uncle's family, would rent cottages at the shore, Rehobeth Beach, Delaware My mother and my aunt would be with us for most of the summer, and my father and my uncle would come on the weekends. We had 9 kids in my family, my aunt and uncle had 7, so my mother and my aunt were a bit busy, to say the least. They didn't seem to mind though, I remember those days as being very carefree.
 
As a child, my first family vacation was at age 4 when we drove from Penna. to Calif. in a big old Pontiac Bonneville (no A/C!) and we broke down in the desert!! We of course went to Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, the old Marine World, etc.

DH and I took DD camping when she was 9 months old. Our family FLEW to Calif. when DD was 3.5 yrs. old and DS was 2 months old. We have since been to 39 states, (WDW and Cruise in '00), Canada and the Bahamas. I would have to say that the New England States trip back in '99 has been the best vacation for me.

For as long as I can remember my mom, dad, and I went to Florida, always for two weeks. Sometimes we would stay the whole two weeks at Daytona Beach and then when I got older we spent one week sightseeing in some other part of Florida and then ending up in Daytona. I thought everybody stayed for two weeks in Daytona! One we went to Washington DC and then once we went West. The only thing I think I have not been to in Florida is Sea World and Busch Gardens and they both opened after DH and I got married.

My first vacation with DH and children that wasn't to Gatlinburg was to Myrtle Beach. DD was 5 and DS was 2.
