So girls, where is everyone from??

I was just curious. :) I am from Southern California, the Long Beach area. I was born and raised here my whole life. I have visited a few states over the country and every one has something awesome and amazing! Very different from here is for sure. I'm a sucker for warm weather and you girls who live in the colder parts you are some strong ass women!!!! ;) So ladies, where are you all from?

    This is a joke between dh and I. We went to Disneyland a couple years ago in January. It was great weather 60s the whole time. We wore t shirts and light sweatshirts, went on the water rides, loved it.

    The Californians had on scarves, hats and mittens (not kidding). We just about died we couldn't believe it.

  • I was born in Chicago, and lived in Central Illinois (an hourish south of Springfield) until I was 22. Now I live in Saint Louis, MO.
    I think I would miss the 4 seasons if I lived either really far south, or north.
  • I'm from the Dallas area.

    We were in San Diego last week and it was in the low 60's and it was hilarious to hear people talking about the 'winter event' and walking around in coats and scarves.
