Whenever I walk by the coffee grinder in Walmart or Target...I'm instantly
taken
back to the Vacation of all Vacations....I know you're not suppose to drink coffee, but It's okay to inhale deeply when walking by.
The best vacation ever was in 1988 or 1989, I can't recall which (without digging out the old pictures)
But the year isn't important.
My sisters and I were in "LOVE" with Johnny Depp on 21 Jumpstreet and we
knew they filmed the show in Vancouver British Columbia, so we decided to
take a road trip, like a bunch of groopies. Our Mom was so cool, instead of saying no, she said she would come with.
So we loaded up the tent and recorded some tunes off the radio onto cassette tapes
and headed off on an adventure.
We'd never been to Canada, and we had not idea what to expect or
where we would stay, but those vacations are always the best.
When we got there we found the coolest campgound, located right at the
base of the Lion's Gate Bridge, you could hear horns and clanking all night, but
it was awesome. The air was crystal clear, for being a pretty big city and the views
we're amazing.
Other vacations have come and gone, but this one will always remain with me.
Oh, and we never did see Johnny Depp, but that didn't matter either.
