My grandmother passed away this past fall, at the age of She embraced life and travel with an unassuming openness. Unfussy, patient, and easily wowed, she was the perfect travel companion.
My fondest memories of her are from my family vacations of childhood. She was always there with us, eager to ride the roller coasters at the amusement park or to ham it up poolside for a swimsuit glamour shot. Our trip to Disney World in above was just one of many adventures we shared. On that trip, I recall her excitedly eating in the resort restaurants. Grandma joined us in Washington D. Petersburg, and other places. We all enjoyed her company, and I think my single mom was able to relax a little more with her thereβanother set of eyes and hands.
Grandma was always with us, eager to join my sister and me for a swim or to slip us some cute money for tacky souvenirs. How rich our trips were for having her along. Even as we got older, we were never too cool to be seen with our Grandma, on a brewery tour in Milwaukee or combing the galleries of the Smithsonian. Now that I have a son, I include my mother on our family vacations. We just paid a deposit for a beach house rental in Lewes, Delaware, but not before clearing the week with her.
As I flip through three decades of vacation photos with my Grandma, I realize it is simply what we do. Skip to content. March 24, by Andrea Szyper Disney World with my Grandma, My grandmother passed away this past fall, at the age of Switzerland and Austria!
