The inauguration of a President(which one) ? Nope - happy to watch highlights on TV
Martin Luther Kings "I Have A Dream Speech ? I have seen that so many times, I feel like I was there!
Man's first walk on the moon ? Definitely no desire to be there in person - too scary!
When Columbus discovered America ? That might have been fun!
VE Day in New York City ? I would have loved to have been there for that, except that would mean I would have had to have lived through the war... so perhaps not.
Other ?

Some who say they did but who knows if this is really true.

I don't think so. I tend to get bored at concerts after about 2 hours, no matter how much I like the band, and you can only walk around and "groove" so much.

Bookmarks? I don't have very many at all, everything I go to most often is an icon on the home screen.
I've been on trampolines, in fact one was part of my gymnastics class in high school.
If I went back in time for any reason at all, it may have an effect on how things are now so as much as I'd like to say yes, have to say no.
I love angel food cake and bring on the 'I love cowboys and cowgirls day' here. Please no dillusional wanna be's, the real thing.
