Like Amy says above - I have the same memories of my Mom and our time together. Antiquing was our thing. That and walking through open houses and dreaming of what life would be like if we lived there.
I did road trips with my kids, even when I couldn't afford it. And we would stay at the flea bag motels and eat at Denny's, but those are their "mom" memories and they loved it! We called it the "(our last name here) girls having an adventure" and even made up a little song for it.
Just talking the other day about our next adventure...unfortunately as they grow, their taste also grows and the flea bag motels no longer hold any mystery. I have one vote for Costa Rica and one for Hawaii. *SIGH* that'll take a home equity loan!
