SOUTH LONG BEACH, CA - Creating Great Childhood Memories
My fondest memories, whether it was learning to swim in our backyard pool here in sunny CA, intertubing down creeks in Idaho or beating my brother in a fishing competition with our great uncle at Lake Elsinore, CA (won't he be pleased to read that) I have to say being outdoors with family near and around the water is where my most cherished childhood memories occurred.
