Speaking of vacations, I've realized for a long time that children may forget a lot of things about their daily routine, but great memories of family vacations seem to last forever.  (I wonder why?  Because of the uninterrupted time with loved ones?  Because of the radical detour from normal day-to-day patterns?  Because of the fascination with the vacation itself - fishing, sightseeing, travel and the fun, unique activities?) What experiences come to your mind from vacations long ago?

Captured this shot at the Nashville Zoo:




I remember when an elder from North Carolina was visiting Nashville, a few years after I had moved to the Music City.  He went to the Bi-Centennial Mall and some other places I had not taken the time to visit.  In fact, I still haven't attended an official "Grand Ole Opry."  I remember hearing of people who live in the Orlando area who have never visited Disney World.

What special places in your home area do visitors flock to that you have never visited?
