No ma'am, I didn't.<br /><br />LOL Nat. Your mom had it right. Colorado from above - once you pass the mountains - is pretty uninspiring.<br /><br />CO Springs is part of the nice part of the state, Silver. Yep, 'home' does sum everything up. I'm home now. <br /><br />You did see one of the better parts of CO, Maria. I was always partial to Estes Park - on the north side of RMNP, but we only got up there a couple times in 9 years.<br /><br />Heh, Stacy, that's what I miss about my stint in Tallahassee. Being so close to the Gulf was amazing. The fire ants? Nope, don't miss those at all.B.E.

And that was the ONLY part of the Alabama/Florida area I liked.<br /><br />As for fire ants, I'm not sure Missouri would have those. Alabama and Mississippi for sure. Gah, I hated those things!Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-41480223082309248972013-05-08T10:45:46.725-05:002013-05-08T10:45:46.725-05:00I liked Colorado Springs, but then I was on vacati...I liked Colorado Springs, but then I was on vacation so I'm assuming I only saw the best part of Colorado.<br /><br />I don't miss much from my last move, but I do get a little tired of driving 30 miles just to get one little thing I'd forgotten earlier.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-85794253104148973482013-05-08T09:21:49.756-05:002013-05-08T09:21:49.756-05:00One of my favorite places to live was Colorado Spr...One of my favorite places to live was Colorado Springs. I had the front range of the Rockies on one side and the plains stretching away on the other. It was perfect for me.<br /><br />I've been here for over 25 years now. Not the same house, but the same area. I suppose it's home and doesn't that just about sum it all up?<br /><br />That said, there's a part of me that would love to have a place in New Orleans in the French Quarter. It's hot, it's stinky, it's crowded--all things I hate but there's just something about the place that pulls at my soul...Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-9787168440367359062013-05-08T08:54:37.619-05:002013-05-08T08:54:37.619-05:00When my parents flew to Colorado in February on th...When my parents flew to Colorado in February on their way down here, mum said everything was so brown with nothing to really look at. *shrugs* Of course, that was just in the plane and at the airport--they didn't actually go explore the area.<br /><br />I'm not going to get into what I miss about Alberta vs Virginia lol.
