I wouldn't know...I never take a car anywhere! I guess we ride in a lot of taxis, but I've never noticed anything out of the ordinary. The one time we drove into the city, the traffic was pretty bad, but I expect that in a big city. I'm a city girl--can't stand being out in the middle of no where with nothing to do...it's the price you pay, I suppose! Donna, I love San Francisco as well. I set my first Blaze there. I love how compact it is...but I hate walking there! You have to train and workout heavily to be able to tackle those hills! Melissa--the mistake you made was Chicago in the winter. What you described is what I imagined. Think spring. Thanks to everyone who popped in...some great suggestions. Donna, I haven't been to the wine country since before my daughter was born, so I may just take you up on it someday! Traffic? I wouldn’t know…I never take a car anywhere!

I have never been to Chicago. I do have a friend Donna who lives there and she tells me about the winters BRR. I live in Connecticut and like it just fine lol. I lived in Daytona Beach for a couple of years a long long time ago and I came back to CT. I could never live in FL. to HOT for me. I tease a friend of mine and relatives that live in FLorida what do you at Christmas time decorate your pink flamingos :d Julie, sounds like you and your family had a lovely visit to Chicago.

As for the winters, I guess I would be able to handle that since, I live in Canada and we have some bitterly cold winters.

I love to play tour guide to people here in Wine Country, just let me know if you are going to visit this area. It is getting way too popular but it is a wonderful place. Fall is a lovely time, right now isn't bad!! :) P.S. I love to play tour guide to people here in Wine Country, just let me know if you are going to visit this area.

You make it sound like a great place to visit. One of my uncle's use to have to go on business & he hated Chicago--I've let that influence me. Maybe I'll open up my mind to that! My favorite city is San Francisco, it is beautiful there even on cool, foggy days! Don't go in the summer, fall is the best time in fact I think fall is the best time to visit most anywhere--my favorite time of year. Two other cities I have visited are Seattle, WA. & Portland, OR. oh yeah, Denver, CO. My oldest daughter use to live in Colorado. The Museum of Natural History in Denver has an awesome dinasour exhibit. I'm not very well traveled so I mostly know the west coast of the US where there are a lot of wonderous things to see, especially anywhere on the coast, I never get enough of the Pacific Ocean. Although cities have lots to offer I really enjoy small towns & quaint little villages such as Mendocino, CA., Murphy's, CA., Calistoga, CA., Ashland, OR., Sisters, Or., Bend, OR., I'm sure I could think of more but I won't make you think I don't know when to quit!! :) Have a great day everyone.
