Great idea for a contest!

My favorite vacation memory was of the time my family camped at Fort Wilderness in Disney World. The entire trip was memorable. It took us 2 days to drive from Pennsylvania hauling our travel trailer. This was our first camping trip this far away from home. I'll never forget how excited the kids were when we drove into the campground. We got a great campsite and the weather was beautiful...until the hurricane. Our vacation was at the end of August in 2008. We spent the entire trip in rain ponchos! I have a ton of photos from that trip of my family in front of the castle...in rain ponchos, in front of the epcot ball...in rain ponchos, in front of the wizard hat...in rain ponchos, and in front of the tree of life...in rain ponchos.

On a positive note, the parks stayed open the entire time and there were no lines for anything. The weather was also much cooler than it would have been that time of year so it was really nice walking around.

Because it was so wet, we let the kids wear their crocs and jump in all the puddles. We rented a golf cart and had a lot of fun riding around the campground. We even swam in the pool in the rain. I think this was one of the best vacations we ever had because we found a way to enjoy the rain.

I would love to have a book to put all these photos in. This was definitely a vacation to remember!
