Just checking in on all of you ♥️

@travelguy01 what’s that supposed to mean? 😂

@Ashly Idk I took this pic at the San Diego Safari Park last month 😅

@travelguy01 That zoo is huge!! Much larger than the LA one

@Ashly Yep the zoo there is huge, and their Safari Park in Escondido is even bigger and better

@travelguy01 I have to go again, last time I went was before Covid ☹️

@Ashly Last time I went before last month was in 2009. 😅
I live on the east coast lol.

@travelguy01 that makes sense lol 😂

@Ashly Last time I was in L.A. was 2019. But other than certain choice spots like the Santa Monica pier I would be happy to avoid that city altogether lol.
I could actually see myself living in San Diego though.

@travelguy01 LA is massive, everyone has their favorite spots though

I’d love to live in San Diego 😍 I think it’s as expensive as LA tho 🫣

@Ashly Yeah true. San Diego and the Central Coast near Santa Maria are both really nice. But taxes and cost of living in California are pretty harsh.

Not that here near DC is a whole lot better though honestly lol.

@travelguy01 I’ll most likely move out of California in a few years, just don’t know where to just yet

@Ashly Arizona seems like a popular California expat location lol

@travelguy01 It’s too hot 😂
I’m deciding between Nevada, Oregon, Washington or Colorado 🤔

@Ashly Seattle is nice. Much cooler weather lol. Though they are starting to get some portions of snowy/icy winters and hot summers now. Some people I work with live there.

Oregon is…Oregon. Only been there once lol. The coast is pretty. As are parts of Portland.

I liked Colorado Springs more than Denver.

I’ve never been to Nevada.

@travelguy01 I’ll most like stay on the west coast, close to my family

If I venture out somewhere East I’d be all alone 😱

@Ashly Most of my family is on the east coast in Maryland lol. But I’ve traveled quite a bit for work and vacations.

@travelguy01 I’m super jealous lol
I’d love to travel the states first, then the world 🌎

@Ashly I hope you do get to travel more someday.
I think I’ve been to all but 9 states so far. I’ve been to Aruba twice and parts of Europe once. I’m taking my son to the UK and Ireland this summer.

@travelguy01 wow lol
Have fun, take lots of pics of you can 😊

@Ashly Thanks! I plan to! 😊
