Oh to move back to So. Cal.
We I moved up to Tahoe when I was a kid which means LOTS of snow and mostly good summers. As a kid, AWESOME. Snow days, sledding, skiing in the winter, swimming in the summer fun right? Not for my parents. Stuck in the house at least half of the year, not to mention the heating and cooling costs, blah.
We moved back to Cali (ahhh) and then my wonderful husband moved me to CT, where it's stinking cold and snowy about 7 months out of the year and then baking hot 2-3 months of the year. So we have 2 weeks in May and June that are nice and most of September. I HATE IT!
My oldest likes the snow (read above why it's fun for kids) and my youngest likes the hotter months. I'm dying to move to some place like South or North. Carolina. From what I’ve experienced think mid-Cali weather with a slower pace of life. LOVE IT. But alas, we have good jobs and a house that's about $50k underwater so here we stay.
I would write more but we're having a snow storm and I have to make sure to get my car out of the snow to get to daycare and school before the roads get too bad. :-)
