Nella Fantasia~~~~~Beautiful Dream







I,m told that nella fantasia means beautiful dream, or beautiful fantasy. That is what my vacation was. A beautiful dream.

I can't say that everything went perfect. Vacations never do. I can say, that, unlike most trips, I was not in a hurry to get home. Even my beautiful bride, who is the biggest home body I know, could have spent more time, on the planet we call California.

Here is the formula for your beautiful dream, if you would like one like mine. Start with a large dose of family. I had 1-Mom, 1-Wife, 2-Daughters, 2-Sons, 1-Brother,1-Sister, 1-Sister in law, 1-Brother in law, 1-Sister in law, 1-Daughter in law, 2-Nephews, 1-Niece and one very grand, Grandson in my crew. Oh, I almost forgot the Brother to the Daughter in law.

Snow is beautiful,............ before Christmas. After Christmas, it is cold and ugly. So go some place warm, in Janurary. Say like California, maybe.

Forget your diet, while your on vacation. In fact, forget about food all together, if you can. Maybe I could forget about food, because every were I went, I was well fed. Trust me, it was not because I looked too thin. I was just surrounded by those who love good food and love too share good food.

Disney Land is fun. Sea World is fun. The beach is fun. There is no fun, with out the ones that you love. So take as many loved ones as you can. It doesn't matter how many rides you go on. This is truly a case of quality over quantity.

Of coarse the thing that made my trip so great, was my hosts and hostesses. I didn't spend enough time with the host and hostess in St Gorge, Steve and Tara. I will try and make up for that, some time this summer.

I can not ever, write or speak the words to say what great host and hostess, Doug and Stacey were. I don't know how to return the favor and I would bet dollars to doughnuts, they don't expect anything in return. But just the same, Doug, Stacey, Steve and Tara, any time you need a room in the Salt Lake area, I am willing too kick out my Children too give you a room.

Loved having you and yours. On Sunday after your crew left, we went through withdrawal. We are now back to normal, left with wonderful memories and anticipation of your next visit.

I was trying to figure things out. You said your crew had two nephews. Who was the second?
