Since this is Father's Day, I'd like to pay tribute to my dad! I've known him for 37 years now, and I have to say, he is the best father anyone could ask for. :) He is kind, caring, intelligent, supportive, generous, loving, and funny, and he makes the world's best popcorn! He's been there for me at every stage of my life, and here are a few of my favorite photo memories:
On top of the Empire State Building when I was...7?(With Fozzie, my ever-present companion!)
At Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City, December 1983. I was 9.
Hayride in the woods when I was around 16, so 1990-ish
Reading to my brothers, Joe and Rob, 1993
Popcorn, his specialty! (1994)
At my college graduation, 1994
At my wedding (obviously!), 1998
Danika, Dad, and me, 2004
Mom and Dad in York, England, 2007.The four of us went there together for Spring Break week.
It was one of the best, most fun vacations we've ever taken!
Hopefully we can pull off "Vacation: The Sequel - Italy" in a few years. :)

Your dad read the post and was very touched by it. He said, 'Aw, how sweet,' with sincerity. We loved seeing those pictures too, some which I haven't seen for years! I love the one of you and Dad and Fozzie at the top of the Empire State Building!
What a nice post, Honey! :-) We love you.♥
P.S. Looking forward to 'Vacation: The Sequel.' :-))))
