Did you ever ---

Journal Jar - Did you ever travel abroad? How old were you and where did you go?

I thought so.  We went all the way to Denver, Colorado and went to the top of the tallest building ever .. I think it was 30 stories high and the first elevator I had ridden in.  We had gone to Boise to shop for school clothes and ridden the escalator which was quite a thrill.  The trip to Denver was to take Dale to college so I was 8 or 9 with Julie just a baby.  On our way home we went through more tunnels than I had ever seen, we also had fizzy drink (dropping fizzy tablets into water in a pop bottle to make a flavored drink) we found fireworks in Wyoming.  It was all as foreign as I could imagine.
 Thanks to pictures I know we went as a family to California  Dave is up above.  I am in Mom's arms below.
 We also went to Yellowstone.  Back when the bears were there.  I don't remember the trip but I do remember the stuffed black bear I took home.  It even had two cubs about the size of my hand that went with it.
At a family reunion I was surprised to find out that my siblings have been all over the world now.  I have been to Aruba, Bahamas, and St Martin.  I personal prefer going to places in America.
