What is the best time you have ever had in your life?

Managing to pull off a surprise 40th anniversary party for my mom and dad. Their surprised look was priceless. I'm not sure who was more happy them or me.
Within the last several years it would have to be our trip across country visiting all the national parks as @mellowyellow mentioned and then clamming on the coast of Oregon with my daughter and family.
Digging in that muck, cold and wet as the tide was coming in collecting clams for dinner. For me it couldn't get any better than that.
 
What fun reading all these!
I can think of many things but like others the number one would be traveling.....Most of my traveling was done with my very best friend....many countries and many states....and Pam, my favorite state is California too!
 

What is the best time you have ever had in your life?​



My very favorite time, as a kid, wasn't Christmas, or birthdays, or Halloween, or Easter

It was goin' to the beach

Sand
Wet sand
Dry sand
Water, washing sand over yer feet

Waves
Weird sea life in the shallows
Waves, bigger'n me...pushing me back to shore
Covering me with salty bubbles

But, what really stood out were the aromas

Salt air
Cold or warm, still gets my blood running

But
The best, most prevalent aroma
was the smell of the beach cottages we rented
A certain musky, musty fragrance permeated those old cottages

Decades later, after renting old houses,
and their bouquet sending me to my favorite times,
I discovered it was the smell of mold I so enjoyed
Then I learned about black mold

Still.......it puts me at the beach

If my lady goes before me, I'm headin' to the beach


Hope to find an old cottage....
 
I think the best time I ever had was in my late teens when I was so stoned and with friends who were equally stoned, I couldn't think of anything except for the music that was playing very loudly. I was sharing an apartment with two friends. I felt like I didn't have a care in the world and that getting stoned was all that mattered.

That was a time when I felt good about myself. There was also a time in my early 40s that I felt good about myself, but I didn't have close friends.

My wife is in an assisted living facility right now. I wonder if I should get a little pot and get stoned, just for the hell of it... Put on some Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin and try to relive my youth a bit.

Seems like a contradiction to me.

No, no, no. The Beatles "White" and Firesign Theatre "I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus".

Very rare...@ Knight Congrats :love: Hubby and I have been married for 37 years. I can see us being together for 60+ if God does not call one or the other home. We have challenging times but we make it through. We not only love each other, we like each other and accept each other as we are - unconditional love - rare. Took a lot of to get us to this place in our life - PRICELESS!!!
 
I have a couple...

Attending college, still living at home, partying and not having a care in the world. I took my final exam with a hangover but I still got my degree. My parents learned not to expect me at home until around 3am.

Retiring and not having the 24/7 stress of my job.

There have been many "best times" in between that 40 years but those stand out.

Same here as far as retiring... the hardest and best decision I was able to make about 7 years ago. :love:
