I'm done with the humidity and 95*+ temps, I grew up in England where the temperature was moderate and there were actual seasons. In Florida you get hot and slightly less than hot, then for two weeks in January it gets down to 35 once or twice at night... great for old people I guess ;)

Kinda like a commercial, but I can't wait. There are actual tracks in sw Michigan and the towns are adorable. My mom's family lives in Muskegon and my Dad's family lives just outside of South Haven, we've been leaning towards South Haven for a while - I'd miss the beaches here for sure but his family will never leave the Gulf Coast so I'm sure I could visit every now and then.

I think some snow tires for the yaris.... or maybe a wrx and I could live with the snow :)
