However, when school started in the fall, my parents would distribute us to family and friends and then go on a real vacation alone.

I can read a map, and I have a great sense of direction, but my poor husband can't do either. Everyone in the husband's family has legs for days, and on my side we are all short-changed so to speak. I comfort myself with the fact that Elizabeth Taylor was built the same way... <br /><br />We did take vacations -- long road trips which my father, a former teacher, thought were his duty to provide additional education. I have read every roadside historical marker in this country, I think. He also captured for posterity a photo of my little brother and me standing somberly beside each one. You can definitely see how much fun we were having.<br /><br />I did not know OUR SOULS AT NIGHT was first a book -- I will try to find it. We watched it the other night and really enjoyed it. Well, all but the end. It was a bit vague. I like things tied up nice and pretty with a bow. God knows hardly anything else is these days.<br /><br />Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681743103386838795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-50472901490500543892017-10-12T12:02:15.431-07:002017-10-12T12:02:15.431-07:00I can find my way anywhere.

To many laughs to do that without splattering all over the morning paper (yes, I still read the news the old fashion way) at least some of it.

Also, I checked out Our Souls at Night. All I could think of was Robert Redford and Jane Fonda in one of my favorite movies, Barefoot in the Park. Interesting to compare them in a movie from 30 or 40 years ago and today.

I related to your story about opting to stay in the hotel room during a trip with your parents to SF.
