This morning while getting the girl’s breakfast ready, about all the places I’ve lived.
Illinois (for the majority of my life)

California (for only a few months of my life)

Washington (for about 10 years)

Texas (almost 2 1/2 years now)

Of those places, Washington has been my favorite. We lived in Western Washington sandwiched between Pacific and the mountains. Beautiful!
However, I think there are other places I would really enjoy living.
Maybe Florida (because I love the beaches there and long to be much closer to the ocean).

Although, somewhere in the Virgin Islands would be nice (because those beaches are also nice and I would be closer to the ocean).

Hubby has suggested Ecuador many times (because it’s less expensive to live there and then there are beaches and the ocean).

I’ve heard France has some nice beaches and the ocean.

I think I’m beginning to see a pattern here.
Now I’m curious . . . .
What states and/or countries have you lived in?
Of those states and/or countries, which is your favorite?
Are there another states and/or countries you think you would like better?
Why?
I have only lived in Illinois. But I would love to live in a place with mountains. Matt and I have discussed moving to/near Blue Ridge, GA when we retire. Mountains are my zen! I would also love to move to either England, Ireland or Netherlands. I don’t mind going to the beach but I would rather swim in a pool than the ocean; I can’t stand sand or the smell of the ocean so I’d rather look at it from afar.
I also love the mountains, but not like I love the beach. For someone who doesn’t like the sand or the smell of the ocean, I can’t imagine they would like living there. 🙂
