The family vacations, part 2....
Feb. 13th, 2012 02:53 amLast week, I talked about a family vacation to the gulf coast of Florida in the summer of '75. In this installment, I'll cover the second trip to Florida, in the summer of '78.
We left on the morning of July 5, 1978. My sister chose to stay at home this time. We took the same route down -- I-90 from Buffalo to Cleveland, I-271 to bypass Cleveland, I-71 through Ohio (taking I-270 around Columbus), and I-75 from Cincinnati to St. Petersburg, FL. I forgot what cities and motels we stayed in on the way down. Someone mentioned "Days Inn" to my dad, so that's what he looked for. Once again, we stayed at our aunt's place in Pinellas Park. And this time, the car -- a '76 Chevy Malibu Classic -- had air conditioning.
( We didn't do as much of the touristy things as we did in '75. )
