I edited it.<br /><br />Seeing some more nature outside the city might have been cool...but Kim had a newborn, and I was pregnant and did NOT pack sensible shoes, so wasn't excited about the hiking the men suggested...Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662784804825998751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781474098383349170.post-44764441851760019722013-12-10T09:07:28.793-05:002013-12-10T09:07:28.793-05:00er... southwest?

(you said you've never been to the midwest)<br /><br />I walked into a cactus last time I was there (took a step forward and had cactus spines all through my jeans into my shin. ouch)<br /><br />I agree with pretty much everything here. I hate the grass because all I can think about is what a ridiculous waste of water it is. I hate how all the buildings look exactly the same, and like you said, not architecturally interesting at all. Everything is so commercialized, it seems like there's a shopping center every couple of blocks (at least in the parts I've spend the most time in). And I think the lack of seasons would be horrible. (Of course, I'm one of the few who prefers winter to summer.) I think my opinion is a bit skewed by the style of my visits though... my sister and I live totally different lifestyles, so its hard adjusting to her schedule, eating habits, etc.<br /><br />On the other hand, once you get out of the city it is beautiful! It would be great to have Sedona and the Grand Canyon within driving distance, or even just to drive over to some of those nearby mountains for some hiking.<br /><br />Congrats on being Godparents :-) And I'm glad you enjoyed your "date"!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914343351803930748noreply@blogger.com
