I remember walking on the boardwalk with them and  just sitting there enjoying the sunshine and watching the people walking by. 

Also, driving up to Gateway all ready to "Cruz" away with his sunglasses on and ready to roll.

My Dad was fun and easy going, always cheerful.  He loved to go to the beach for vacations and we did every year!  When he retired,my parents bought a trailer and headed to the campsites from Maryland to California.   I am so grateful that I grew up in a fun and loving family and the memories I have will last me for a lifetime.
