Furthest I’ve Traveled

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

The furthest I’ve ever traveled to from home is to Tacoma Washington. I relocated with my husband, now ex-husband. It was December 1988 and it rained all the time. One time it snowed. There were plenty of accidents with people sledding down the hill into the road because they weren’t use to snow.

The apartment complex we lived in was near an Army base and when the privates would ship out they would have a garage sale and sold everything for $.10 each. I loved it!

We lived near the ocean but I never got a chance to see it. I was pregnant and placed on bed rest at 5 months. I had toxemia turning to the pre-eclampsia stage. My son was delivered by c-section at 8 months in St Joseph Hospital in Seattle Washington.

Tacoma Washington will always be special to me, that’s where I first learned to trust others.
