Have Fun | Tell us about the most fun you’ve had in the past year.
Last summer, my grandparents took their two daughters’ families on a cruise to Turkey, Malta, Greece, Italy and Vatican City. It was amazing to experience so many unique cultures full of rich history, while getting to spend time with family.
