Starting

My Name is George Robert Gardner and I grew up in Quincy, Massachusetts. This area is called the "South Shore" as it's south of Boston. I currently reside in Plymouth, Massachusetts a bit more south, but still the south shore. In fact my older sister officially traced our family back to those who came over on the Mayflower. We haven't even moved around Massachusetts, except for my younger brother who lives on the "North Shore". Not to say we don't vacation, my wife has pushed me to go places like Virginia beaches, Florida beaches & amusement parks, and the Caribbean; and I've had some amazing times.

The reason I'm telling you this is to impart the "lack" of travel in my family tree. This also sets the stage for why I have setup this blog.

My College age daughter is planning to pack up and go to Japan for a one year study-abroad adventure.!
 
As you guessed Not on the south shore of Massachusetts....
