The family vacations, part 1....

Growing up, my family didn't go on many vacations. Dad would either defer vacations or stay at home, catching up on household projects. I think we did some occasional day trips, like Kinzua Dam (near Warren PA), Allegany State Park (near Salamanca, NY), Niagara Falls, Toronto, or Rochester. Those were few and far between.

But there were two times we went down to the Gulf Cost of Florida for our vacations.

( The first trip was in August of 1975.  )
