    I moved away from Seattle (not to Texas), and while it’s gorgeous, it’s also kinda depressing. So I live in Utah, which is sunny, has gorgeous mountains, and lots of other natural beauty. I do try to make it back to the PNW periodically (planning to go this June).

    The only place I’ve been in Texas is San Antonio, which was pretty (esp. the river walk).

      June is a great time to go back. I always dream of being a snow bird and just living in Seattle when the weather is great (June through Sept), then going somewhere warm and deserty for the winter.

        I’ve considered moving back, but honestly, I’m happy just being within driving distance of the PNW. I’m thinking of maybe moving to E. Washington or E. Oregon near the mountains to get a bit of the best of both worlds: lots of sun and only an hour out two drive from the green mountains.

        That doesn’t really solve the winter months, but it means I would only move south for 3-4 months of the year (December-March).

        So for now, I go back almost every year. I’m going for a wedding in June, and two years ago we did a big road trip up there and visited Victoria, BC. Next year we’ll probably do another trip there.

        But I much prefer the sun, so I’m content to travel.
