I have a "Not Your Fathers Root Beer" in hand and I'm almost juiced so to speak. For newer Dogs to the Sip & Talk it is really more of a Sip and Type/write. Any questions is allowed as long as it is polite. I will answer if I can. We do not care about spelling and or grammer since the sipping can effect that ...at least in my case.
We will start off talking about the best summer vacation we ever had.
I'll start, My Mom and Dad used to take us to the Smokey Mountains, some times twice a year. The best and most amzing time is when Jerry and were 16 and 18 or close to that. We were having breakfast at the Elkmont camping and picnic area. Jerry spotted a black bear and took off running after it and I took off running after him. We ran 300 yards and the bear jumped off a 20 foot cliff and went under water in a mountain stream. He then surfaced and went up the other side that had to be almost vertical and he ran up that mountain faster than he did on flat ground. After Jerry and I looked on in amazement I asked Jerry what he was going to do if he caught that bear...He replied that he hadn't thought that far. We still laugh about it to this day

Probably my best vacation was when my folks took us to the Ozarks. We stayed in a cabin near the lake for swimming and fishing, but made several side trips. The diamond mine in Arkansas, Silver Do9llar City, a trip to Texarkana to visit my my Mom's Grandfather, etc. I guess it planted the seed for my moving to the Ozarks many years later!

I am having a root beer (private reserve) The best Summer I ever had was taking a trip with my family to Santa Cruz. It was a cheap trip but it was fun. Summer of 1977 and hippies all over the place...our Mom warned us to stay close to her MM

That's an awesome story, I'm really sorry to say it but I can't even remember anything that really stands out to me as far as summer vacations go.
My long term memory is absolutely terrible, I guess having a concussion not too long ago doesn't help with that, LOL.

Where abouts in MI are you located? Just a few miles west of Detroit city limits in the suburban concrete jungle.
