My beautiful wife, having been raised in the midlands of South Carolina had not seen too many snows in her day. She decided she wanted to make a snow angel. So in order not to "ruin" it she stood like a statue, arms to her side, and dropped straight down on her bottom. What she did not fully appreciate at this time was the snow was only about 2" deep and the driveway beneath it consisted of frozen gravel. So, after helping her into the house, dry clothes, and a trip to the hospital to X-ray her bruised tailbone - she had the opportunity to be waited on hand a foot the rest of the holiday. Personally, I think this was all part of some master plan to test my quality as a husband. Apparently I passed as that was almost 10 years ago now. I suspect you know her ,as she created this blog post.<br /><br />Please do not enter me in this giveaway as I am married to the author and trust me, I have read the book, as well as the others. Aren't you all jealous.<br /><br />Mr. Alpha MaleMister Alpha Malenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-71086695241094197322014-02-22T21:08:12.288-05:002014-02-22T21:08:12.288-05:00I remember my last trip to Disneyland with my husb...I remember my last trip to Disneyland with my husband.

We were able to run around the beach and boardwalk on our own. My dad gave each of us $10 to buy whatever souvenir that we wanted. It was amazing!

The Alaskan Highway was full of rocks and boulders, so it was hard driving for my parents and the car and trailer. The scenery was beautiful. I can remember at one stage my mom, brother, and I were walking along the highway on the 4th of July. We had small American flags that we were waving while singing Yankee Doodle. I guess a sled dog didn't like my voice because he came running out of the Bush, circled us barking, and bit me on my right leg. When my dad got back with the car, we went to the hospital. They weren't worried about rabies at that time, but said dogs had been coming out of the Bush and killing small children and other animals, so if one was spotted by the police, they were automatically shot.Cathy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402868229427304647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-75393203751219543352014-02-20T07:50:17.481-05:002014-02-20T07:50:17.481-05:00When I was a kid we went to Hershey, PA and then t...When I was a kid we went to Hershey, PA and then took our family and my parents when I was an adult.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392692656456938856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-64652491998827244972014-02-19T21:27:18.227-05:002014-02-19T21:27:18.227-05:00One of my favorite vacation memories is going to ...One of my favorite vacation memories is going to a ceilidh when my husband and I visited Scotland some years ago.jmcgaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932827218529724266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-65290675669425067112014-02-19T00:59:59.759-05:002014-02-19T00:59:59.759-05:00A favorite vacation of mine was a one night getawa...A favorite vacation of mine was a one night getaway to the East Brother Light Station in San Francisco. It's a bed and breakfast lighthouse on a tiny little island. They pick you up in a boat and serve appetizers when you get there, then a great dinner, a tour around the buildings, and an awesome breakfast in the morning. And the views are great.

When storms come across the lake the power can go out. Once it did while we were there and we ended up cooking dinner in the fireplace. Hotdogs and S'mores. Yum!
