We have only gone out to California to visit my Uncle Drake a few times in my life. One time I remember Kevin and I were really into collecting comics. It was the Jim Lee era of X-Men. I was busy trying to buy all of the back issues of The Uncanny X-men that I could find. On this fateful day I came upon a comic book that was pretty hot at the time. It was the first appearance of Gambit. I can't remember how much it cost - maybe $15 or $30. I was so happy to get a hold of it though.
Unfortunately, I no longer have it. I either traded it to my friends John and Derek for some porn or video games or I lost it with some of my other rare comics when Linda lost her area at the antique store. But, I don't really care, it is just a thing. However, it is fun to reminisce about random memories like that.
