I think the good times I can remember have always included friends and family.Our family vacation with our kids to Disney World was nice but our family vacation there with our kids and grandkids was even better. When we vacation with friend that gives us a chance to relax,share family stories and think about all of our old school days and times together. Some of my greatest times I have had were on cruises. Anytime with family and friends are always the best.

Tell us about your philosophy of life

When you are in school you can be a big fish in a small pond but once you are out in the world you are a small fish in a big pond. Remember where you came from, who your friends are and always remember family. When you get old the material things in life seem to matter less but family and true friends are priceless!
