That was the question my wife and I posed to our 12yr old daughter and 6yr old son yesterday as we try to decide what to do for this year's vacation. The answer was surprising. Not just because it was unanimous, but more so because it was instantaneous...
"Curaçao!!!"
When I pressed them for the reasons for this decision, the following were the first three "top of mind" responses
- It's great!
- We love it!
- Sunshine's brownies!
:shocked2:
We've been there twice and really enjoyed both trips. But I think you'd agree that this is more than a little surprising!
Additional reasons included
- The sand at Cas Abou
- Grote Knip vs Klein Knip (some disagreement as to preference there)
- Iguanas everywhere
- The paddle boats at Playa Kalki/OEW
- The pool at the Marriott
- The ribs at The Ribs Factory
- The beautiful water everywhere
- The palapas on the beaches
- Riding the floating bridge
- Seeing all the fish in the water
Still stunned with Curaçao blowing Disney World out of contention without a thought, I continued to press them for what else they remembered/liked/desired about Curaçao. After about fifteen minutes of interrogation, my six year old got quiet for a moment, and then meekly asked... "Daddy? Didn't you like Curaçao?" My daughter froze as if she had come to some life-changing realization, looked at her brother, then looked at me, and sullenly added "I suppose we could go to Disney World... if you want to."
"No, no, I love Curaçao. I just thought that maybe..." I continued.
But they stopped listening, and started singing "Yeah! We're going to Curaçao, we're going to Curaçao!!!"
