Vacation Debriefing

September Writing Challenge - Prompt #19:

He Said/She said

At this point, you might be thinking, "Okay, Britt, enough about your vacation already!" 

I get it! I do!

But for my own memories and record keeping, I still have stuff to say! Call me selfish, but I love going back and reading my vacation posts throughout the years. So for that reason, I have a couple more vacation posts up my sleeve. Feel free to skim or skip.

After our trip to Florida, we had a debriefing session as a family to share some of our favorite (and non-favorite parts of our vacation. Here's what everyone said:
