Here we are, fast approaching the end of my trip out here in California. I can't say that I'm a west coast convert quite yet - I think I'm just a 'need a total change of pace' convert. I'm sure a lot of the appeal has to do with being on an opposite coast...

I've gotten to catch up with some of my cousins, and it continually makes me a little sad that we've all grown up and are in our mid-twenties (or early thirties!) and never had any sort of relationship with each other. My brothers and I have always talked about wanting to live near each other when we start families so our kids can be friends... now that we're getting close to the point in our lives where we're deciding where to live for the next... however many years, I really want to make sure we keep ourselves to that.

At least we should pick a coast.

West, anyone?
