When I was 2 years old, I moved from Californina to Missouri. I would move 6 more times before I graduated from high school.

We moved from California to Missouri and then drove up to Canada to the World Expo. We then drove down the east coast to North Carolina, where we visited my grandmother.

The first of many visits to four corners in the south west. New Mexico, Colorodo, Arizona and Utah all meet at four corners. You can be in all four states at one time if you put each foot in a state and each hand in a state. Pretty cool! I keep going back!
