When I was a kid we moved a few times.  The first one doesn't count (I was 1...  didn't care).  But, when I was 6 we moved across town in Jackson, MI.  Since my Dad was a teacher, we moved during the summer, because that was when there was time.  It almost shouldn't count because the house had a ...
