An Honest Take on Great Vacations
Profile: Whit Honea is an award-winning writer in the greater Seattle area. He is a husband of one, a father of two and the lifeline to many relatively tame creatures. Whit’s writing can be found at Babble, AOL, DadCentric, MamaPop and the Disney Blog. His personal site, Honea Express (Honea sounds like pony), is an eclectic mix of family fun and foul-mouthed tirades. Whit’s Favorite Vacation: My favorite vacation would either be the trip I took to Europe one summer while I was is in college or the time that my wife (when she was still my girlfriend) and I went to Walt Disney World in Orlando. The trip to Europe consisted of museums, drinking, hearts and heroes. There may or may not have been jail time. Walt Disney World was romantic and relaxing and by a random act of spontaneity, the spot where I proposed to my wife. I better go with the latter.
