When recalling their childhoods, my 20 somethings love to recount trips in a rented rowboat at a local state park. We boated to an island and had a home packed picnic. They loved a day trip to the zoo and please touch children centered museums. My favorite memories of childhood are: A trip to see the Bolshoi Ballet in Pittsburgh, fishing at the local state park with Dad, the company Christmas show my Dad took us to each year. I also recall: going to the zoo in Pittsburgh with my grandparents. |
