Starting one of these is never easy. Memories come and go and you want to capture it all. But not everything is necessarily as vivid as it once was.
In the summer of 1991 ,I believe, Thomas and I left Will Rogers airport to meet up with Aunt Anita in Atlanta Georgia. The rental car that she had gotten was a cream white gold key Cadillac I think. It's the first car I had ever been in that had a digital speedometer. It drove very smooth too. 
 We drove to Orlando Florida making many other stops along the way. When we finally made it to the Florida coast at one point we stayed at a hotel where we had a beach that had access to the water and we swam for a bit. The main purpose of this trip though was going to Disney world. We also had gone to the Kennedy space center and SeaWorld. I had wanted to see universal studios but Thomas and Aunt Anita who voted for SeaWorld. 
I remember we stayed at a Days inn and it was nice. I should have taken more pictures of the attractions we saw, but I wasn't thinking about that at the time. But Aunt Anita took a lot more than I had known at the time. Thanks to her I have those pics somewhere but I'm not sure where right now. I know Thomas should also have a set. It's was a pretty awesome vacation. 
I also made Thomas and Aunt Anita sick by how much of the all-you-can-eat breakfast I consumed. I had a total of 16 or more plates of food and I was going back for more when they dragged me away to go to catch the shuttle to Disney World. I don't eat like that anymore. 
We only had a four day pass to Disney World but we crammed as much as we could into that. I think we did almost everything but Space Mountain. Nobody would ride it with me, so we skipped it. I enjoyed the rides and show we came across. One show was a 3-D short movie with Michael Jackson. I had thought it was pretty cool at the time. 
Not much else about the trip is coming to mind right now. I do look back at it often as a fond memory. All thanks to Aunt Anita. I'll miss her.

Anita was such a careing person that loved helping others.
I appreciate all the love she gave our family.
Sending. Janas family to Oklahoma by flying them here knowing we wanted to see them.
Anita came when I Janette needed care after major surgery. Anita came again to help us find a place to live talking to our insurance on our behalf.
Anita was such a strong person and we worked hard for what she wanted in life.
We will really miss her,but I know she told me. Last week that she couldn't wait to go to heaven..
I told her I was going to beat her.
We both. Talked about we would be. Slender and young.
Tell my parents I'll see them soon.

I love her dearly she was so funny there are so many memories I  remember the fun we had playing games and going on a cruise together and shopping she would always want to go shopping I love it we loved the same places she was a great aunt
