It is in my blood… I have moved over 20 times in my life. After about 2 years coming in the same door, driving along the same street, parking in the same drive way, going to the same grocery store… I feel it is time to literally move on!

It is odd going back to the place you called home at one point in your life. Memories of building the house, planting trees and shrubs, bringing babies home for the first time, saying goodbye for the last time to loved ones, waiting for the school bus as your Kindergartener comes home on the first day of school, seeing your kids play in the snow, waiting our a hurricane….

Some houses we return to see on a regular basis, since they are in the same area we currently still live in, others not so often, since they are a few hours away and are only visited when going to see the grandmother. Some of the houses we saw for the last time, when we closed the door and drove away with the moving van.

Google Maps, now offers a “Street View“, that allows you to virtually move down any given street and have a 360 degree look around. Type in the address in Search, then click on Street View.

Here is my Trip down Memory Lane of the last 20 years living in the USA of houses.
