Inspired by the hot chocolate thread, what's your favourite memories?
Not just as a child, can be as an adult too.
Mine are the first heavy snow storm after I moved to the States. It was like being in a film. 3 feet fell quickly and walking the roads before anyone got a chance to plow them blew me away.
Playing on the sand dunes somewhere in Dorset somewhere (you had to take a ferry there) with my Dad when I was tiny.
DS being born. I felt this crazy surge of elation and asked all dh's family round a few minutes after he was born and rang everyone I knew. After a couple of hours by the time everyone got there the 6 hours of pushing had kicked in and I was knackered and moody. 
This summer, lying in the garden with ds with both of us reading books and snacking. Both quiet. Just hearing the birds sing and feeling utterly content. (Probably because he was quiet for five fucking minutes for the first time in his life.)
Bonfire nights when I was a kid. They've all amalgamated in to one now. I remember the feeling of excitement and how it was so cold my toes and fingers would surely drop off and maybe I'd get chilblains which sounded REALLY cool from all the books I'd read.
Going in to the tomb of Tutankhamen. In fact all of Egypt but that stands out particularly. It wasn't the most impressive by far but it just felt so special. Going in to Abu Simbel was breathtaking too. It moved me that people with such limited resources and knowledge could build such incredible things. And the devotion and faith they must have had to drive them to do it.
