He also taught me family is everything so take big vacations with your family every year to make lasting memories. We travel a lot and enjoy being the typical tourists. My youngest is 13 and saw both coasts before she was one. She is spoiled with a vacation birthday every year where she has swum with dolphins and sea lions, hugged giraffes, fed lions and tigers, played with baby Joeys, danced with Lemurs been a Disneyworld and Disneyland princess, flown in helicopters and flew a stunt plane in Las Vegas (her favorite).
