Thunder Down Under
“A photo of me with a bunch of speedo men (Australian swim team) at Sea World in Florida, circa 1987. My mother was like, “Go get your picture taken with Nigil!”
When Nature Calls
“When you gotta go, you gotta go.”
Splash
“I insisted on having a nice ocean family photo. Our youngest, Maddie would not look at the camera. We kept urging her “Come on Maddie, look at the camera!” She was the only smart one who realized a HUGE was on it’s way! Our boy, Andrew has a very nifty green cast on his arm. Poor guy kept it out of the water all day…until the big wave.”
The Great Divide
“We had been driving by the monument all week, each time, mom tried to convince dad that there was a tree inside the monument. He refused to believe her. When we finally stopped to check it out, mom took one look at the steps and said she would wait at the bottom. The picture accurately depicts their stance on most issues.”
Nanatime
“This is a photo of my family on the way to Disney World during the summer of 1976. That’s Mom, Dad and me in the back and Grandma sleeping. We all traveled together (Grandma, Mom, Dad, sister, two aunts & me) in that big brown station wagon and pulled a pop up camper behind us (we were the Griswolds before the Griswolds existed). No air conditioning, high humidity and a Grandmother who snored – is it any wonder I still can’t even think of vacationing in Florida?”
Loose Change
“Like many who grew up in the 70s, my family’s annual vacation generally meant piling into the car and driving across country to somewhere cheap. My father was an incredible penny-pincher in those days, admirably captured in this photo. I believe we were on our way from Montreal to Moody Beach, Maine when we stopped off to get something to eat. My father dropped his change after the meal and he made us all scramble around the Lums Restaurant parking lot picking up the pennies.”
They Got You Babe
“I don’t know what’s more scary, going down Niagara Falls in a barrel, or my parents looking like Sony ‘n Cher.”
