Every family has some kind of tradition when they go on vacations or outings somewhere and one of ours is getting caricatures drawn. The kids are always anxious to see what the artist rendering of their faces. The girls chose to be mermaids. Eve was going to be drawn like Belle from Beauty and the Beast, but changed her mind when she saw Rachel's drawing. Aaron decided to look like Indiana Jones and Noah wanted to be Godzilla. Our wall is now full, so we need to figure out were to put our ever increasing caricature gallery. Our home is quite small, so this is a bit of a quandry. These were the souvenirs for the kids. The only other souvenir purchase we made was in the Canada section at Epcot's World Showcase. We purchased to cds by a group called Off Kilter. They were awesome and we wanted to give them to my mom for watching our ferret, Jasper, while we were gone. Oh, I forgot to add we did spend a couple bucks on a wooden back scratcher for Aaron from the store in the Japanese section. I get tired of him asking for me to scratch his back.
---Tradition #2---
We have another tradition in our family when we go on road trips and that is to eat at Denny's restaurant. For the most part the food and service are great and the restaurants are clean. They have a great family menu, and you can get breakfast at any time of the day if you care to order it. The one exception to ordering water with our meals comes when we are out West. The water is laden with minerals, so the thought occurs to me that maybe when we visit out their I could order water with my silt. HMMM? I am quite fond of Moons Over My Hammy, and Aaron and Rachel usually get the Jr. Grand Slam. We get out of the restaurant for around $35.00 for a family of 6. I do not think that is shabby at all! We don't eat at Denny's in town because we figured it is more fun associating eating there as a fun road trip thing and the kids will think it is fun to look for signs along the road rather than fight. This ploy has worked for several thousands of miles:)
