Top Things I'll Miss About California

1. Consistently temperate weather (goes hand-in-hand with not owning coats, ice scrapers, etc.) 

2. In-n-Out Burger

3. The ocean/smell of the ocean

4. One set of car tires lasting up to 5 years and being able to have something other than rubber mats in my car. 

5. Palm trees/constant greenery

6.  Abundance of wine

7. Proximity to Punta Mita, Hawaii, Napa/Sonoma, & Santa Barbara

8. Fashion Island. This is really #1. It has been my second home these past 6 years. I took LJ strolling today and I cried my eyes out. I will miss the outdoor shopping. (There are two malls in Cedar Rapids, and neither looks like any place I currently frequent. :-( )

More to come...
