9.  What was your best vacation?  (Family)

I think that would be between two of them.  One year we took a trip to the Grand Canyon. On the way there and on the way back we stopped at many places that were just gorgeous! The Grand Canyon is a place everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.  The next one was when we took the boat up to the San Juan's.  We docked at several of the Islands and went across to Canada to sight see too.  It was a great trip too.

10.  What is your favorite restaurant?  (Family)

Red Lobster is our favorite restaurant.  We both LOVE fish.
