I received this awesome post card the other day. When I saw it the first thing I thought about was a family trip I took with the family when I was a kid. My mom drove, my brother sat in the front seat and I got to sit in the backseat between my grandfather and grandmother who told me stories about their past the entire trip. We were visitng my uncle who had just gotten stationed there so we were all excited - my brother and myself because we were going to Disneyland, my mom and grandparents because they were going to see my uncle.

My uncle took us to the beach and being from the midwest I had never seen anything like that. I think my grandparents were filled with the same wonder I was as we stepped onto the beach. We had a lot of fun that day running on the sand, swimming, and just hanging out. As I looked at my grandparents it was as if somehow they had become younger and were having fun too - it was like I could see them how they were when they were teenagers in love. That was the last great childhood memory I have of my grandparents. Later that year my grandmother had a stroke and passed away. It was hard so I think in a way I tried to forget her and all the memories had of her. I had almost forgotten this trip - this post card brought those memories back and that's a great thing

Thank you for that.
