re: Did you take trips with your grandparents when you were younger?

We camped with my grandparents every year when they were alive and healthy. I also took a 3 week road trip to New York and stopped at various places along the way, including Philadelphia. Great memories!

Trips with my grandparents was either going trawling and working the trier box or going to Fourchon and play on the beach. Always ate luncheon meat sandwiches and drank homemade root beer. Pawpaw was always drunk and mawmaw was always cursing him in French, haha!

Thank you USMC

Dem ladies loved them some elvis back in the day. I remembered the day Elvis died. I was 4 years old. My mom came outside into the yard where me and my twin brother were playing. She was crying her eyes out so Me and my brother started crying too.

Olla and kingbob that's some good sounding memories too me.

I spent every summer w grandparents in Tela, Honduras, until the gubmint took their property in the late 1970s. Good times.

No. My parents moved to Louisiana.

My closest grandparent was 11 hrs away.

We took the Amtrack from NO to Virginia. We had rooms in the sleeper car, and I remember when the train went around a curve, your water would spill out of your glass and peas would roll off your plate. We rented a car and drove to Charlottesville to see Monticello, Jamestown to see the settlement and fort, Colonial Williamsburg, Newport News, etc. It was a ten day trip and I celebrated my 13th birthday during that time. Awesome.

I traveled with my great-grandparents every summer for almost a decade. Each trip was the most great-grandparent trip you could possibly imagine. We went to the Alamo, Colonial Williamsburg, D.C. To see the government buildings and monuments, Hot Springs, etc.

My great-grandpa was my hero. He taught me discipline, respect, the history of LSU football, and how to play mediocre golf. He passed away a few years ago after a 5 year battle with Alzheimer's. I'm just incredibly grateful to have gotten 23 years with him.

My great-grandma just turned 89 yesterday and is still sharp as a tack. She was valedictorian of Dutchtown in 1945 and ran her own small business in BR from 1961-1988, back when women simply didn't do those things.

They grew up dirt poor in Praireville. My grandma showed me her high school diploma, which was hand written. She also told me her mom used to make their clothes out of burlap sacks because they couldn't afford to buy any. Pretty awesome that she went from that to a business owner in less than 40 years.
