With Father’s day approaching I think back on some of my fondest memories with my Dad growing up.  Growing up in a broken home I only saw Dad on Sunday’s basically, when he would pick me up for the day visitation.  Every visitation he would plan a different place to go. We explored museums, cultural events, zoos and never ending entertainment.  While I am sure much thought went into the day explorations,  growing up in the Pittsburgh, Pa area provided many cultural opportunities. Many times as a young child I would find myself bored with historical sites and museums.   Now as an adult I visit them myself and appreciate the knowledge gained.  After all, visiting historical sites in person is better than sitting as a young child listening to a teacher tell his or her version of it.  In person I can get a perspective on size, smell and interpret my on vision on what took place back in time.

Recently I booked a trip to Washington, DC, which brought back many memories of the times I spent with my Dad on the weekend.  I now fully appreciate the wanderlust and adventure he stirred up in me.

Looking up the definition of wanderlust below is a quote I found:
