Being a military brat, I've lived all over the this great country and also abroad. I've seen the sun set off the shores Treasure Island in San Francisco, saw the pueblos in the cliffs of New Mexico, the great expanse and ... flatness of Oklahoma and Texas, crossing the great Mississippi, seeing the lightnin' bugs and smelling the pines as we drove through Tennessee, the Smokey Mountains then North Carolina. Seen the orange groves of Florida and alligators crossing the road as if it were an everyday thing. Visited Revolutionary War forts in New England on school field trips and experienced a genuine New England winter/christmas that you see on post cards. I won't even start with the sights I've seen overseas. My point is, in all my travels, there is no more beautiful and majestic area of the world I have seen than the western United States, in particular the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Alaska is actually a whole different level of majestic, but I'm talking civilization here.
cool story.
which is why visiting Europe is on my bucket list.
