what a interesting read. if we all had a map with pins in it to show where everyone has been i bet that would be a site.
As for me; was born in Asheville, N.c till i was seven then was scooped up by my dad and taken to San Diego Ca. so grew up with the bay and beaches as my playground. Sea World was just across the brige so we were there alot. The zoo was free 16 and under in those days so my friends and me would take the bus there and go through the park too on weekends.
During summer vacations I spent them with my step moms relatives in Bergheim , frankfurt, and lisberg Germany and traveled to Switzerland. Austria,lichtenstein, italy, and those days what was called Youglosavia. I loved being with her side of the family and hated to leave.Europe was beautiful.
Got married at 17 to a navy guy and lived 4 years in Pearl Harbor Hawaii,where my first son was born, then to maryland and down to Great Bridge, Va. where he was stationed at communications base in the middle of the woods by the NC border.My 2nd son was born at Portsmouth,Va army hospital.
Then we split and I and the kids went back to Ca. Lived in San Diego where met DH then lived in El Cajon, and we moved to Victorville Ca. That is the place I concider home.
My DH's family found him after 36 years so he wanted to come back to his home here in Wichita so here we are. This is the first time I have lived here in the mid west so I can't say i like it. Thinking of joining my kids in Austin Tx next. The net stop will have to be home I hate traveling anymore than I have to I like to be home.Like others said that is where your loved ones are.
