Where it all started - Travel Entry #2

Taking trips down memory lane whenever I go home never gets old.  I like to take my kids to see where mommy grew up and to show them what I was doing when I was their age.  Sometimes they think mommy was born old and knows nothing about being a kid.  So whenever we are in New York, they see all my old hang out spots,  I share the stories of all the bicycle crews that took over the streets of Uniondale and we play the games that I once played in my front yard, to show them I actually had a childhood before they came along.


If this park could talk...the crazy stories it would tell.         RIP Mr. Brown.



Lifelong friendships were made at Smith Street Elementary  School.  Nothing but fond memories of this place.

Turtle Hook Junior High!!! I thought it was cute showing my middle schooler where I went to "junior high school" when I was his age. He couldn't care less and didn't even get out the car.


I stopped by my aunts house and this was in the living room.  You couldn't tell me I wasn't cute! I think I was 16 here.


We played hot peas and butter like I did back in the day.  Nothing like someone chasing you with a wire cord to whip your butt.


We hung out at the mall where I had one of my very first jobs.... Sales Associate at JcPenny.  My only real memories of that job are of me hanging out in the break room.  Model employee I was. LOL (Sorry, we didn't do any shopping in Pennys that day, so I don't have a photo.  The deals were hitting in Zara.)


I heard the ice cream truck and we went running.  Mr. Softees song is still music to my ears.
