Car trips with no air conditioning, and no elbow room. Why did we love it so? And how can people get along these days without a station wagon? I miss my big van from when I raised my kids. I can only get three grandkids in the back seat of my car now. I might have to go back! Haha! Now I need some rocky road!Jacqueline~Cabin and Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043224721237700695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-44895072208883645502017-07-27T10:22:49.122-05:002017-07-27T10:22:49.122-05:00Connie, not really a sweet childhood.

She was two years older and was a breath of fresh air to a little girl with only two older brothers.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-24501616734528602392017-07-27T10:17:01.627-05:002017-07-27T10:17:01.627-05:00Loved the inspiration of the temp bed for travelin...Loved the inspiration of the temp bed for traveling! When we could put everything in the travel trailer (usually on the way home when the load was lighter due to having eaten the groceries we packed) we would put our sleeping bags out in the back of the station wagon and stretch out for the trip home.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-77589557734347135212017-07-27T10:12:29.292-05:002017-07-27T10:12:29.292-05:00I so enjoyed traveling down memory lane with you a...I so enjoyed traveling down memory lane with you and the photos are priceless.

We were free to buy lunch, which $2 would cover a hamburger, fries and a coke with change to boot. No one worried about kids back then and it was a lot safer.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173691505669853688.post-53794461603884826132017-07-27T10:07:39.673-05:002017-07-27T10:07:39.673-05:00I was always in the middle too, I was glad when my...I was always in the middle too, I was glad when my older sister got married.
