Do you have one special vacation spot that you return to again and again? How did you find it? What draws you back? What do you love about it?
My favorite place to visit--at least one that I have visited more than once--is Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. Genius Golfer and I visited it first together on newlyweds on our honeymoon. It is a place that holds my idea of fun, cleanliness, family, and magic.
For our twentieth anniversary, GG surprised me with a pair of annual passes. We repeated that year long celebration for our 25th. This past year we were able to visit 5 or 6 times in the celebration of our anniversary annual passes.
When The Boy asked me not long ago what it was that made me like visiting
Disneyland so much as an adult. Trying to help him understand, I told
him it's a place where optimism rules the land; where streets,
attractions, and outward appearances are clean & tidy; and where
"family" is catered to and celebrated no matter what it looks like. It's
an imagined alternate reality that purposely reflects a simpler time. I
still feel all those things when I visit. All of those reasons make me
feel the "magic" of this place each time I get to visit. And, really,
can you ever really outgrow that kind of magic??!! I hope I never do.
