TRAVEL FOR EVERY SEASON HURRY, HURRY, HURRY
OF YOUR LIFE!

H ere’s mine – My parents had seven kids. Dad worked

at State Farm Insurance in Bloomington, Illinois, and
money was tight, although we kids never knew. The
highlight of every summer was going on vacation. Mom and
Dad always made SURE we went somewhere fun! Mom made
sandwiches, with fruit and cookies for our picnic lunches. She had
a cooler with milk and juice, and a toaster, bread and cereal, which
was enjoyed in our hotel room.
They knew how to save money WAIT, WAIT, WAIT
and still show us a great time!
With six kids in a 1963
Ford station wagon (third seat
faced backward and if I rode
on it, I threw up) in 1966, we
headed off to Michigan. We
spent the first afternoon at the
sand dunes running around and
playing on the beaches. Can
you imagine six wild kids and
my parents trying to keep track of us?
The first night, Dad stopped at a Holiday Inn to register, then
came out and drove away. Mom asked him where he was going.
“They saw the six kids, and they don’t allow eight people to share a
room.” My mom was horrified and said, “Paul, what are we going
OR CHOOSE HASSLE FREE FLYING
to do? We can’t afford two rooms every night for a week!” Calmly
my Dad replied, “Don’t worry Suzie, there’s another Holiday Inn WITH NAPLES AIR INC
three miles up the road.” When we got there, he looked back at the
girls and said, “You three duck down.” My mom was even more
horrified. My sisters and I still laugh about that today.
We spent two glorious days at the Henry Ford Museum in
Dearborn, Michigan, with its interesting collections of every Ford Call our award winning team
car model manufactured, the limo President Kennedy was shot in, today for a quote!
inventions, costumes, airplanes and thousands of square feet of pure
magic!
We toured the Kellogg’s Cereal factory in Battle Creek actually
experiencing the concocting of the cereals, walking the factory
amidst the vats of cereal -- the overriding aroma of Fruit Loops
permeated our clothes! All eight of us got our own six-pack of
single serving cereals!
Fun, fun times; you can experience a fabulous vacation this year
