Riding with mom and my brothers in her car. I’m 34 and they are 25 and 26. We still call “shotgun” and argue about shotgun etiquette. If we can’t agree who called it “legally” we will sprint to the car. Geez what a bunch of dorks. She must get pretty embarrassed. hehehe

The smell of the ocean.

Eating salt water taffy.

Picking out a Christmas tree (last year we had an artificial one and I sorely missed the experience).

Drinking chocolate milk.

Riding a bike.
