y plan to treat my grandkids to a luxurious family vacation took an unexpected turn when one of my granddaughters demanded the grandest accommodation. I decided to take the unconventional route to teach her a memorable lesson.
So, my husband, John, and I, we’ve been pretty lucky in life, and we wanted to do something special for our family. Our granddaughter, Robin, got married recently, and we thought, “Why not celebrate with a big family vacation?”

We picked Bora Bora because, honestly, who doesn’t dream of going there? It’s like one of those places you see on postcards and think, “People actually go there?” Yes, they do, and we decided we were going to be those people.

We got a great deal on this trip. We found this beautiful place that had room for all of us – three bungalows for the grandkids and their families, and one big villa for John and me.

The bungalows were nice, each one a thousand square feet with a king bed or two queens, a bathroom, and some outdoor space.

But the villa, oh boy, it was something else. Four thousand square feet all to ourselves, with a bedroom, a bathroom that had a sauna, a living room, and the best part, an outdoor area with a bathtub, a pool, and a slide straight into the ocean. It was paradise.

Now, we hadn’t even been there for a full day when the trouble started. We were all having dinner together, enjoying the breeze and the sound of the waves, when my other granddaughter, Jenny, said something about wanting to use our slide.
WATCH: Country music legend Reba McEntire set social media ablaze with an epic rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVIII
Country music legend Reba McEntire set social media abIaze with an epic rendition of the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday.
As McEntire was singing, the broadcast cut back and forth between a number of soldiers deployed overseas in South Korea, as well as the Las Vegas dome, which was decorated with the American flag. At one point, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackIe could be seen tearing up.
The performance was completed with a military flyover before the two teams met for the coin toss.
McEntire’s rendition with widely met with praise on social media despite some minor audio issues.
“Reba killed it,” wrote ex-NFL punter turned football pundit Pat McAfee.
Post Malone and Reba McIntrye both killed that. And, by the way, no pIayer in the NFL that I’m aware of still kneels for the anthem. No one here on either team, said Clay Travis. It’s pretty amazing how that trend just completely vanished. And how ratings have set all time records since it ended.
