My whole family lives in Nor. Cal and my hubby's too.
I was born and raised in Northern CA too - Santa Rosa to be exact. I lived there, moved to San Jose for a year and a half, hated it, moved back to Santa Rosa, then moved to Washington. Have been here 7 years and though I like it, do not feel the roots growing too deep. You might say the roots have spread out in the pot a bit, but I still feel like I could pick up and go. No family near by, and despite the winters, I still dream of living on the East Coast.
