I am off to Washington, D.C. for a long weekend with the wife and without the kids.....

Cant wait to see the fall leaves.

You all have a great weekend!
 
Have fun. Enjoying the fall leaves here. Was noticing how much they had changed from last Wednesday to yesterday when I was driving my bus route. The route goes through the mountains and it was beautiful yesterday. Opening day of muzzleloader season Saturday...looking forward to a good weekend myself. Maybe I'll have some fresh deer meat.

Capitol Park at this time of the year is beautiful. You and your baby walking through the park taking in all the beauty, tranquility, and spectacle .. sweet.

Enjoy yourself brother .. enjoy your wife.

Seeing the leaves change in the fall is pretty cool what I miss about the Midwest and living in California.

My mind misses Michigan snow .. but my body and my car does not.

However, California is the extreme. I didn't like it there, especially San Diego.

A change of season is good for the body and mind.

Georgia has a reasonable mix of weather.
 
This reminds me of a comment I heard in LA, "we can drive to the seasons". Typical LA. However I agree with you guys about not missing the cold and the snow. I'm ok driving to the snow and cold just as long as I know I can leave.

I tried that while living there .. but it's a long way from the real.

My daughter and I used to drive to the snow on Christmas .. a weak substitute.

Bouviers love the snow and I would ocassionally take my dogs to the snow .. but it was usually not really deep enough for them to dig tunnels or bury themselves as they do in Michigan.

But there is truth to "driving to the seasons" or more specifically, driving to different environments in Cali. Mountains, snow, desert, and ocean are all within easy reach.

But for me, the Seattle environment is second to none.

I saw that in the airport but I did not have a lot of time to read. It was a great trip, the leaves were beautiful and we had a great time.

Saw the monuments, museams, art galary, Arlington (changing to the guards) and an exgirlfriend..

No, the people of Seattle just spread that rumor to keep the CA riff raff from invading their state.... :)


Oh... and Eugene OR is a horrid horrid place to live... don't let any CA residents make the mistake of moving to that hell hole...

:rolleyes:

No need to worry about this guy. If I want to see real tree huggers I can go across the Bay to Berkeley, not Eugene (although 'SC is invading Eugene this weekend and will teach those hippies a lesson or two) and while San Francisco weather is nothing to write home about we at least see the sun on occassion.

There's a reason the grunge sound came from Seattle...

That's the part I miss about Indiana and Nebraska, from when I was younger.
I just don't want to shovel any more snow.

The best climate I have ever lived in was Quintette CA. 4200 ft elev. Located on the north side of the Sierra's, otherwise known as the backside of Lake Tahoe. We were literally at the end of electricity. Our little community was located at the beginning to the famous Rubicon Trail. We had 4 definite seasons where you'd just begin to tire of one and the next would magically begin...sigh
 
I spent a summer in Yellowstone, it was the best climate I ever lived in, until just befor I left on October 1st.
