Smells Like Home

I don't know what it is, but the second I smell the air in the Bay Area I am transported to my childhood. And I miss it.

We swam at the hotel, explored Golden Gate Park, rode on a paddle boat, visited my old elementary school, ate tons of good food, swam with cousins, visited Linda and Joe, and took it all in.

I used to collect these in my elementary school and make a loud whistle by placing them between my thumbs and blowing on them.
