Places I've been
I was born in California, lived in Japan for 3 years as a child, and grew up in Florida. My husband and I lived in Calif, North Carolina, Southwestern Virginia, Penn, and Fla. I liked North Carolina best and would love to move back there someday and live in the mountains. Japan was really special too; I would love to go back someday to visit. Northern Calif is awesome. Maine is my favorite place in the summer, especially Bar Harbour.
