I always told myself that before I settle down and get married, have kids, etc., I'd love to live somewhere urban -- LA (with Maria), or Boston (with Nic), or even Chicago (with Jules!).

However, after my trips of last year and this year, NC and Baton Rouge are pretty nice too (because of K of course).

Still, there is no doubt in my mind that Hawaii is where I want to raise my children. I wouldn't want it any other way.
