Growing up on Long Island, there really was not all that much to do, because of that I I don’t remember anything in particular, but one of my best childhood memories was from when we used to visit my family in Manhattan. Every time we would visit my family in the city, whenever the weather was nice, we used to walk to central park to walk the dogs. I always loved it because there were always so many people there either playing games, walking, running, or even having a picnic. On Long Island there aren’t parks that big, so as a child its size would always amaze me. The diversity of the people there, the windy paths and the nature element stuck with me through the years, and every summer I try to visit central park.
