Flavor #28 "Classic Banana Split"

FLAGSTAFF NATIVES

Life happened and it got more and more challenging.  Because we hoped things might start to go better for you if we managed to provide you a fresh start, we split from San Diego County and moved to Flagstaff, Arizona when you were 16.

It didn't work out that way, although the  parents loved, loved, loved the area, the kids surely didn't, and for you, nothing got much better.  I have no pix of that time period, though it was a mere year and a half.  A lot of things can't be solved geographically, and so we split again and doubled back to Southern California after this little jog, this little out of the way interlude.
 SNOWBOWL
From The Grand Canyon to the San Francisco Peaks, from Sedona to the Indian Reservations, nothing had called your name.  Ironically, you suddenly fell in love with snowboarding at Snowbowl a couple of months before we left and maybe would have settled in.  Timing is everything, right?
