I wanted to dedicate this FF to the great times I have had on family vacations. Not to belittle the word happy or try and be funny, but some of the best memories I have, were times spent with my loved ones...yes, at one of the "Happiest Places on Earth".... Disneyland/Disney World/Disney Cruise". So, just for the good old times, with Mickey and Friends...this is for my family.
Here are some photos/memories, from times past....

I will never forget it!
DISNEYLAND for 8 year birthdays...One of our family traditions is to take our grand kids to Disneyland when they turn 8. It is just Papa, Nana and the 8 year old grandchild. It is "their" special time, with us. They plan the whole day at Disneyland and we just have a great time. So, far we have taken Brigham(2007) and Hunter (2008) and Elle Kate and Brandon go at separate times this year...too much fun, we love it!
