My hubby and I got married in the Napa Valley about 4 months ago and spent our honeymoon travelling around the CA coast. My dream is to live out there, but hubby says it’s unrealistic (considering housing costs, distance from our families, and all that). Sometimes I even start thinking that maybe I’m just romanticizing my time there until I look at some of the pics we took when we were there:
In Mendocino County’s Wine Country
In Big Sur
In Sonoma County
Really, is there anything more beautiful? Those of you who live out there, like the Librarian in Black, should appreciate all the natural wonders you have at your fingertips. All I’ve got here is a squirrel with a bagel.
Ok, my husband made me feel guilty about what I said about South Florida. Yes, we have a lot of beautiful things here, like the ocean, which is actually warm enough to swim in comfortably most of the year (unlike the Pacific). But I think much of CA’s beauty has been preserved because they have a deep appreciation of the land. Here, it is almost inevitable that every patch of green will be developed into residential or retail spaces eventually. I, personally, am a fan of wide open spaces, but I guess there’s something to be said for having 7 Starbucks within 10 minutes of your house. 😉
