A sunset in California....

This type of view, day in and day out is something I definitely don't take for granted! I LOVE it here and wouldn't change it for a thing! There really is nothing quite like a Southern California sunset.

Our beautiful mountains....

The Sierra Nevada mtn range

I love it here in this state because we have everything from the beautiful beaches to beautiful mountains. California is one of those rare, magical places where you can go surfing in the morning and drive out to the mountains for some afternoon skiing.

Golf overlooking the Pacific Ocean!

Los Verdes Golf Course in Palos Verdes

Don't forget to get a round of golf in at a course overlooking the Pacific! Nothing like a beautifully sunny day on the golf course overlooking the Pacific and Catalina Island in the background! There are many courses along the coast where you can practice that golf swing!

Well, this is the beginning of the California journey. I've gone into detail under the various cities so check them out!

Pros and Cons

Pros:The weather, variety of topography, the people and cultures
Cons:The TRAFFIC!! High cost of living
