After a short 24-hr trip for work, I am reminded why I love Cali so much. Here goes…
1. In Feb in LA it is easily 75-80 degrees
2. In July in San Fran it is 65 degrees 
3. Organic and locally grown food EVERYWHERE. I bet even McDonalds has organic stuff!
4. Bike lanes… Biking and carpooling is not only encouraged but preferred. 
5. Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Nuff said. 
6. I’m pretty sure every car is a Prius or some other compact hybrid. Not the monster cars we have in TX. 
7. Celebs (do I even have to mention this?)
8. Its almost a crime to have bottled water. A necessity is a reusable water bottle. Preferably insulated. 
9. Did I mention the weather?!

I love TX and prob could never live in Cali($$$$), but it sure is one of my very fav places!
