where would you go? You cannot change anything by going back, you can only enjoy yourself while you are there. Would it be your wedding day, birth of your child, a special day in your life? And why? It doesn't even have to be anytime special, just a good time in your life.

If I can't change my life, I'm not going back. Nothing has been enjoyable enough, just the way it was? I don't want to have to re-live my life. But I re-live that couple of weeks pretty often, in my mind. You know... Thanks for the memories!

I want a mulligan on the third through tenth year of ODS's life. I was, and am, still a warm, loving, competent parent. But, the crap the schools put us through made those years hell on earth. I want a chance to thoroughly enjoy those years with ODS just as I thoroughly enjoy them with him now. And, I am certain YDS felt some of the fall out then, too. So, if I can't change anything, then I am okay where I am...except a weekend back in my late 20s early-early 30s would be a nice little break.

I really had to think on this one. Sadly, there is no part I would relive again. Been there, done that, survived it.

Graduate school.
DH and I were serious, but not married. I got to spend 8+ hours a day doing what I loved. I had little responsibility. I had little money and didn't care.
I wouldn't go back to any "big" events. They've all been tainted, and memories of them are bittersweet at best.

I would love to relive the last basketball game of my life in High School. I scored 26 points and shot 13/26 shots for a 50% shooting percentage from the floor. Oh, and 20+ rebounds. I was on fire!

Being as today is my 10yr anniversary, I'd want to go back to my wedding. It was so a perfect day!

Can we go back TO a time before ours and observe? I'd like to see things that predate me.

Do I get to know what I know now? Because I'd do way more than I did and work less. I was full of energy then!

IDK, you were there with them, you tell me if I should be I might go observe my childhood because I remember so little of it. Guess it was uneventful.

The moments or times in my life I look back fondly on I wouldn't want to go back to. I think part of the reason I enjoyed those moments looking back now is because of the nostalgia associated with them. Some of that had to do with easier more carefree times but even if I went back to those I'd probably find myself thinking about some times before that.

As much as I love DH and the kids...
Those three months of travelling cross country and to New Zealand with my BFF.
Between husbands, no kids, no apartment, no job. No responsibilities, I could go where I pleased and do as I pleased. Absolute freedom.

summer of 1977 between my jr and senior year of high school. carefree days (I worked at a fast food place, car wouldn't run half the time, etc...) but the music was good, my parents were cool and the boys were good looking.

I'd totally go back to my single twenties... running around europe with my girlfriends. Dancing the night away and going to bed after dawn. Those were some of the best times of my life! i miss the adventure and the freedom... and the ENERGY! hell, DH and I have tickets for a 9:30 pm movie and I'm drinking coffee to make it through. my 30s are kicking my behind.

There are plenty of times that I have really good memories of, but I would be afraid to go back. What if there are all these little things that weren't as good as I remember them? Than I would not only have the great time I would look forward to, but I would also have lost the great memories as I have them now. Now if I could go back and make changes... There are also many occasions that could use some serious improvements.

Long ski weekends at Sugarbush (I don't think the mountain has gone by that name in a million years though) One trip through UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany in my 30's - it was fabulous even though I was working

If I can't change anything, screw it. I don't want to go back and see certain things without the rose colored glasses, because they'll never measure up. Seeing them again will be disappointing and that disappointment will color the original memory.
Maybe something I don't really remember. Like a random snippet of me as a baby/toddler. See if mom has been exaggerating about it all these years.

Lets go back to February 1987. I was a hot early 20 something entering college. First off I'm breaking the rules, I'm changing what I studied [ byte me ] and then whatever came after that I would be happy with.
I actually studied 3 years of Jewelery Arts, two years of Goldsmithing and 1 year of Gemology. Worst thing ever to study if you don't have a hell of a lot of money behind you. And very few women make it in this business.

I would go back and enjoy the first ten or twelve years of my daughter's childhood again with her. It was just that much fun. And, I think I'd bring more wisdom this time, even though technically I couldn't change anything.
