This Flashback Friday stuff is humbling. And fun. And dangerous. I am not sure if my sister looks at these, but she just might disown me for showing all of our goofy childhood photos here!
Here we are back in 1986. I was 10, my sister 8. Like those cheesy peace signs? For some reason that is the thing to do in Japan when you get your picture taken. At least it was in 1986. And yes, that is a Member's Only jacket I have on. Not sure what club we were members of....
We lived in Okinawa, Japan in the mid-80's as our father was in the USAF. It was a great experience and we were old enough to enjoy it, I think. This photo was taken at Hedo Point. My grandparents had flown out from the US to visit and we were sight-seeing. Okinawa is a tiny island, but beautiful and has a climate similar to Hawaii. I remember Christmas being around 70 degrees every year. I would really love to go back one day and take Aron and Rudy with me. How cool would it be to take them to the beaches where I swam as a kid and go snorkeling with my family... guess I better start saving my pennies!

My sister and her husband lived in Misawa for 3 years and I KICK myself for never going out to visit! And I didn't even have kids then! Dumb Dumb Dumb!
Cool pic...it really would be awesome to get to go back. Just make a jar and tell Aaron about it...you know he will start saving pennies. He's really good at that ;-)
how cool is that. I wish I had a cool place that I lived growing up. I guess mine's Fairview :)
I was in college in 1986! You are so YOUNG! Stop it! :)
Sounds like a wonderful childhood. Christmas for us was also usually 70 degrees, but the locale was not so exotic.
Yes, save your pennies and take your children. Sounds great. :D
