The San Joaquin Valley is a beautiful stretch of land, it is an severely fertile place where agriculture and farming thrive… Visalia is located in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley in central California! My family and I moved to Visalia when I was 10 years old.
- My dad started working at the medical center.
My mom took our sister and I to Sequoia National Park almost every weekend, we got to spend a lot of time outdoors. We took our bikes and occasionally we decided to go hiking. We had picnics in the giant forest. We spent a lot of time with our mom and I felt care about we were constantly outside. When our mom and dad separated, our sister and I had to live with our dad and we missed seeing our mom a lot, however after our parents had some time to work on things, they were a lot nicer to each other. I remember a time when our mom and our dad took us to Sequoia National Park, then things were going genuinely wonderful until we were set up for a picnic and someone across the parking lot was smoking marijuana. My dad had a immense fit and he started yelling and screaming at the young guy who could not have been more than 25. Marijuana is legal in California and the guy wasn’t genuinely doing anything wrong. My dad lost his temper and a single of the park rangers told us that we had to leave the property right away. The ranger didn’t even address the marijuana smokers. After that, our parents did not spend any more time together.
