Disney World in Florida!

I'd take all seven of them to St Ives in Cornwall where I spent every summer as a child. We'd stay in a fisherman's cottage and go crabbing. We'd build sandcastles, walk across to St. Michaels Mount from Marazion, visit Mousehole and do all the lovely things I did as a child. This is one of my dreams, I hope I'm able to do it one day.

I’d take them all to Costa Rica, so many amazing animals and habitats, it will make nature enthusiasts of them all.

I would take all the grandchildren to spent time with their cousins on a trip to Florida. First of all doing all the Disney things, and then a week at the Florida Keys relaxing in the sun.

I would take them to Disneyland in Florida I know it sounds naff but they really really want to visit and it would keep them quiet its all they ever go on about

I would love to take my Grandchildren to South Africa, as they have relatives there, who neither myself, nor they have ever met!

It would have to be Disney world in Florida. What child wouldn't have this on their wish list.

Disney world. I remember feeling so emotional the first time I went there Age 19. It was even more magical with my own children, so to take grandchildren would be amazing

RachDayxx Thu 10-Oct-19 16:42:34

Has to be Walt Disney World. There’s no other place like it for kids and those of us that want to be big kids for a week or two

I think I would take them to the North Pole to show them where Father Christmas lives. Then we would go off to Never Never Land to play with Peter Pan and his friends. Sigh

I would love to take them to Disney World as I never managed to take my children there and they would all love it. However, unless I win the lottery.......!

Disney World in Florida

I would take them first of all to the wonderful museums we have in Liverpool then on to the pier head to see the liners that are starting dropping off here, then we would go to the squirrel reserve at formby woods for a picnic

I would love to take my Grandaughter to the same caravan park in Wales where I took her Mum when she was young. We spent all our summer holidays and half term holidays in Anglesey and it was like a second home to us.

It would be so wonderful to walk down memory lane with my grandaughter and show her all the special and familiar places that I took her Mum to when she was a young girl.

I used to tell my daughter that one day she would be grown up and be able to take her own child to Wales for fun on the beach and it would be amazing to make it a reality for her.
We have so many old memories to relive that would be a treasure to create.

1would take them to Jersey. It is an island full of history and plenty of other amazing yisiting places such as flower industry and tomatoes and potatoes .Fabulous beaches for the relaxing times and great hotels to pamper to our hunger .Also on the plus side good weather and all within a couple of hours away.

I would take my grandchildren to India. They would love it. They adore animals and the idea of conservation. What adventures we would have zooming around in a rickshaw, dipping in the Ganges, train rides, Elephants, tigers, an exotic culture . I think we would all learn so much and have our eyes opened!

To a desert island, for peace and quiet and a whole lot of sunshine fun.

One of my granddaughters lives in New York and the other in UK . I would love to take them both to New England especially to Bar Harbor and then travel down to Martha's Vineyard .
I have always told them ''My soul belongs in Maine''
