I grew up in McLean, VA for about 12 years, and I still call it home to this day. Northern Virginia is one of the most scenic areas of the country:
| There's pristine, historic Washington D.C. to the east... |  |
| the gorgeous and vast Blue Ridge Mountains to the west... |  |
| and timeless Colonial Williamsburg to the south. |  |
Every weekend my parents would take me to these wonderful places, but at that age, all you want to do is play with toys and eat candy. Needless to say, I hated those trips. Mom always said I'd appreciate it someday...thanks Mom. I was a very happy kid growing up because I had the security of a stable home and long-term friends.
| I had no idea the kind of rollercoaster I would be boarding... |  |
