A Look Back: 1986

1.6K

Welcome back for our third installment of the “A Look Back” link-up! This month we are taking a trip back in time to the year 1986. Where were you and what were you doing that year? We want to know, so link up your posts below!

I was one-going-on-two at the start of 1986 (that video is from the end of the year, at Christmas), and I looked a LOT like my little 18-month-old does now!

We were still living in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, but we moved into a condo. #5. I have lots of memories from that condo. There was a huge (or maybe I was just small) shared backyard and a swing set in the front, as well as a wooded area on the other side of the parking lot where I once fell backward into a giant puddle of water. But that was a different year.

Since I don’t personally remember much from 1986, and since my brain is mostly mush from our move, this post is going to be mostly photo memories!
