6 places of my life

If you could tell the story of your life by taking someone to a half dozen places, where would you go?

First to the house I grew up in. My parents lived there for over 25 years & I lved there for 18. It was the center of everything for me growing up.

Second to the park. The local park in my hometown is a large place with lake, miniture golf,a playground, a pool, tennis courts, etc. They do daycamp every summer for ages 3-12 and hire kids starting at age 13. I spent every summer there from ages 3-19, (minus the summer I worked at DisneyWorld). Some of my best childhood memories are of that place. I grew up there. I love taking my own kids there when we are in town.

Third to WVU. So much happened to me in college. I loved it. I saw & did & learned so many things in the 7 years I was there.

Fourth to my last job. I grew a lot at this job. It was not my first 'grown up' job but it was the one where I felt most mature, capable & confident.

Fifth to the hospital where my sons were born. Life altering moments.

Sixth to the house where I live now.
