that idea...I tried it a few years ago, but nobody wanted to do it. I put things like "a trip to a water park" and "a trip to the zoo" on

their wishlists, but nobody in my family wanted to do it . They would all rather buy "stuff"

what a bunch of fuddyduds they were! i'm not going to ask mine - i'm just going to give it to them if I do it.

GREAT idea. We did that two years ago - took the crew to Costa Rica for 5 days. Unforgetable, totally worth it.

what experiences you are thinking of fringefan?

horseback riding for the girl, possible helicopter over the harbor for boy (but that ones EXPENSIVE!! eek!)

totally jealous and wants both of those experiences herself!
