Pops, I just got your PM this morning, and my guess was going to be California also. I got that just from things you mentioned here and there. One in particular was when Jen mentioned what she paid for her house. I don't remember how much it was, but you made some reference to the fact that most people in your area drive cars that they paid more for. And when we were discussing houses, you said something about how expensive they are in your area. Well, not sure if there's anywhere in the country that the houses are more expensive than in California. And didn't you go to Yosemite park on vacation one time or something like that? Anyway, I would have guessed right. Now, if we could just get your dad to let you visit us Chicagoans when you're in town.....


I *knew* that of all people, you would guess correctly........mainly because of our long house prices discussion in PM's a while ago. Now what other state is as expensive as CA? Maybe New York, but it was always pretty obvious I don't live on the East Coast, so I knew you wouldn't guess that.

Oh btw, I knew the Yosemite pictures should have been a major hint. I actually went to Yosemite again last April and took a lot of *really* nice pics, but didn't share them because two trips to Yosemite in one year would make it more than obvious. It was a lot more beautiful when we went in April than it was last summer, because the snow was just melting and the waterfalls were really *full*. Unfortunately we missed the snow season just a week. An early heat-wave caused it all to melt early.

Vermontcat, yes I do love snow because I never see it at my house. I have to go all the way to Tahoe to get snow. We actually have a lot of places where it snows, but Tahoe's where we usually go. At least we HAVE snow. Some states don't have it at all.
