We ~Heart~ the East Coast


We ~Heart~ the East Coast

When we were younger we dreamed of living in far away places like California.  When you grow up on the East Coast, California is considered a “far away" place.  Afterall, who wouldn't want to visit Hollywood?  I guess it’s not until you get older that you really appreciate the place that you’re planted.  ( And realize that you can easily go to California just to "visit")

With that said, we love living on the East Coast! Yes, I will agree that sometimes the winters can get cold, but in return the summers get very hot!  ( I think it hit 95 degrees today)

We love being “centrally” located in the Mid-Atlantic. We have easy access to Beaches ( yup, we’ve run a few races here), NYC ( We love going into the city for the day and seeing shows or just sightseeing), or even visiting the Nation’s Capitol ( can you say awesome 4th of July fireworks, of course!) Even getting to Disney is less than 2 hours by plane!

  1. I didn't know Biggest Loser had a racing series, neat!

    I love the east coast. I lived in Virginia Beach for a couple years growing up and it was always just gorgeous and had great seasons!
