21. We Chose What We Did…

22. How We Chose our New Home
We liked having beaches in our hometown. That
is why we chose Florida and Hawaii. California
and New Jersey were also chosen because they
have beaches, but they have a colder climate
than the previous two cities. We both like to go
skiing, but the cities where you can go skiing,
such as in Utah or Colorado, are not as safe, or
in the price range that we are looking for.
Although we cannot live right next to a ski
mountain, we decided that we can vacation out
there a couple of weeks out of the year.
