Have lived all my life so far in phoenix, az. But its my dream to one day move into a home within walking distance of the beach in oceanside, ca (about 30 miles north of san diego, or is it 30 min drive,i cant remember off hand). Used to spend a week there every summer on vacation with my mom and sister growing up and those were some of the best memories of my life. A couple years agoi took my better half there ti show him the places i was always talking about and he fell in love with it as well, then last year in spring we visited friends who had moved to a small town in the far southeast part of san diego area, took them up there for a day on the beach, and again, it has become my favorite memory of time spent with them.
