   The lamp was the best part, it seems.

   The simple joy of being a 4 year old.

   Petey’s big memory is being trapped in the car by a clam.

   Cool! You can literally see the sea shell-covered lightbulb (okay, it’s actually the lamp stand) go on over Alice’s head.

   Early memories of what happened at age three are sketchy. It’s no surprise Alice only recalls the fascinating lamp and not the more mundane, everyday stuff….

   All I remember about my first beach trip at about age 15 is that I really enjoyed the scenery, bikinis everywhere

   I think there was sand and water too

    @Sisyphos
    I find mini-golf mundane as well.

    The only thing my almost-four-year old granddaughter remembered about Florida and its beaches was the ice machine at the motel.

    When I was a kid, my favorite part of Daytona Beach were the arcades full of old nickle-a-play pinball machines. They’re all gone now …

    What a shame the pinball machines are gone. My favs were Asteroids & Pac-Man.

    The lamp makes it all worth it.

    This shows why parents and their kids always have different memories of the same experience!
