I am currently in San Diego staying with my Navy daughter, awaiting the arrival of my first grandchild. San Diego = Wow! What an amazing place this is! The weather here has been unbelievable and the scenic countryside is breathtaking. As a 20 year veteran to running, I will say that road running here is somewhat challenging. My 4 mile run yesterday was uphill for the first 2 miles, and so steep that I felt like rolling back down the mountain road rather than running, but the view was spectacular!
It's obvious that the cost of living is higher here, but I really am thinking that this would be an awesome place to live. Any of you from San Diego? If so, what's the downside?
Last weekend we toured the U.S.S. Midway and that was fun. While we were there, American Idol was filming an episode on-board and that was pretty neat. J-Lo boarded the ship, right ahead of us and I snapped a quick photo of her!
Anyway, no real point to this post, other than my interest in knowing if any of you have comments about San Diego and living in this area.
I should be a grandpa (sounds old, but i'm not..ha) in the next day or so.

You said " Your not sure TV is a good fit for you. " It seems your priorities have changed and you want to be closer to your daughter and soon to be grandchild. Follow your gut feeling and do what your heart tells you.
We visit California frequently and love the entire state ( except LA area due to heavy traffic ), but beauty wise it doesn't get much better than San Diego compared to Florida. If we could afford to live there housing wise, without a doubt we would retire there.
