It was last weekend when my kids and I flew to Texas for my daughter’s trampoline(蹦床)competition, plus a couple of side trips. We would tour the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. We would visit Waco’s Magnolia Market. We would play outdoor mini golf in January.
We would have nothing to complain about! We would be leaving behind school and work for a hotel pool and having wall-to-wall fun!
And yet—we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first They call this coffee
Luckily I remembered to take my imaginary coat of armour(盔甲) with me. I’ve learned to put it on as soon as we arrive somewhere as no complaint can get through it. They simply bounce off it and land harmlessly at my feet. I shrug(耸肩). I smile.
For three days, real fun was had, silly complaints were ignored, and more real fun was had, until it was time to return the car, get on a plane, and fly home.
Except our flight was cancelled. And so was the flight after that. And once that airline resumed(恢复) flying, there would be no room on any of its flights for another 21 hours.
We spent the next couple of hours securing seats for the next evening, tracking down our already-checked bags, and finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed. We swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and singing and jumping and laughing.
And that was when it hit me that family travel is a lot more than I thought before. It’s discovering that things don’t have to go right to go well. It’s remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them. My kids made them at the tail end of a very long day, in a tiny pool near a Texas airport. So I did too.

Last year my wife and I spent a most interesting month in Turkey. Before we left, we were reminded of the difficulties of driving in Turkey. We certainly did not find this to be the case and, except for a few places in faraway mountain areas, the roads were wide, and well-paved(铺设). We drove for 12 days along the western coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers to be very polite and well educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns was difficult, so we picnicked almost every day.
The following day after our arrival was Turkey’s Children’s Day, started by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk loved children and he often said, “Children are a new beginning of tomorrow.” He even dedicated(奉献) the day 23rd of April to the children which is celebrated as Children’s Day.
On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government, and a lucky kid will be the President of Turkey for a whole day. He can decide what’s going to happen and whether or not he is going to have the President next to him. There are a very large number of things you can do but some shops aren’t open because they are celebrating the day as well.
All in all, it was an enjoyable trip. I would recommend a trip to Turkey to anyone with an adventurous spirit!
