The latest additions to the "places we've all been" collection

We've moved and are now living in a place where Nathan never resided. So much for the "places we've all been collection" . . . or not . . .

For starters, Nathan moved cross country from Washington to Ohio. Now his younger siblings have been on most of the same road, minus the west of Utah section. And then there's Utah itself. Grandfather planned a trip for Mom, Amanda, and Nathan to points west way back in 2007. While west, a side trip to Utah to see Dad's family was arranged, including a visit at Aunt Karen's house, where all the other kids have now been. They've all met Shivers, the dog, who was there when Nathan was, too.

Probably the oddest overlap, though, is where we live. When Mom and Dad lived in Utah before, they once lived in the apartment right under Mom's Uncle Jim. He later relocated . . . to the street one over from where we live now. And yes, Nathan went to visit Uncle Jim in Utah, too. Kind of funny (and kind of fun) how there's still common "we've all be here" ground to enjoy.
