2. Pita Pit
3. Old Chicago
4. The HAPENNY!
5. My kids at Timberline
6. The apparetly nonexistant elk farm
7. Being able to gather around the table with eight people who kind of know each other and still be able to chat and have fun for over an hour.
8. CAMPUS- with the clocktown, memorial garden, buildlings filled with memorials, fountains, oh man I miss ACI
9. Sitting behind the 100+ car train at very specific times of day
10. The feeling that it takes longer to get from the Franklin exit to Caldwell than it does to get from Boise to Caldwell
11. the Capitol buildling, despite its reconstruction
12. the Anne Frank Human Rights memorial
13. random coffee shots like Thomas Hammer, Flying M, Java, Moxie and of course the needed Starbucks through in every once in awhile
