I love California... (when I say California I can hear the theme music from the O.C...you know that "California" song by Phantom Planet. I promise I don't and have not watched that show... not that there is anything wrong with that ). From the moment I stepped onto the jet bridge in San Diego and could feel the temperature change between Texas and this wonderful place, I began to count the ways I loved this state.

1. The weather...you can't beat it anywhere. It is cool in the mornings and evening and warms up to 75 degrees during the day.
2. In N' Out Burger. Possible the best fast food restaurant ever (other than Chick-Fil-A).
3. The ocean...just drive up Pacfic Coast Highway and you will know exactly what I am talking about.
4. The Governator...they even sell these T-shirts at the airport and they make me laugh every time I see them.
5. Disneyland. Enough said.
6. San Diego Zoo.
7. Amazing landscape...mountains, desert, ocean.
8. Diverse people, no one looks the same.
9. Good coffee shops on every corner.
10. My beloved extended family lives there.
