I
found the above photo on facebook with the caption that the most one might have seen in
person from the above list is five. I
have been to eight. Below I have posted
memories and links to those places I have visited.
from this post
Statue
of Liberty – never been, but I have read countless books on the history of the
statue and Ellis Island.
Grand Canyon – went with my family when I was 12 or 13. I don’t remember a whole lot from that trip. But I do remember driving to the North Rim with my mom, sister and Grandma. Some highlights are found in this post.
Walt
Disney World – honestly don’t have the desire.
I’m content with Anaheim’s original Disneyland
Zions – continues with same trip found on this post
Space Needle – my first time was in June 1982 (see this post) It was probably seven years later when I met up with a friend in Seattle and had gone there with her
Hollywood
Sign – I’m sure I had seen it on one of the many California trips I had taken
with my family – I just don’t remember.
Jaime was hoping to see it when we went down there for Labor Day
weekend. Richard and I were even in
Hollywood! But no sign.
Las Vegas – many times. As a kid the strip wasn’t near the size it is today. There wasn’t a choice to bypass the town on the freeway. I relate a story of leaving Corey in LV in this post Most recent visit was from this post
Golden
Gate Bridge – I was a passenger in the car that took the Oakland Bridge more
than Golden Gate, but I believe I had crossed the Golden Gate at some point
during my many visits to San Francisco.
Niagara Falls – actually my most recent adventure from this list (here)
Alcatraz - I'd gone to the island prison only one time; I had gone with a group of theatre students who were completing at Berkley. 1979 probably
my dad in the San Francisco Apt. |
