The place I call home.. Cali {Ten Favorite Things}

Is it Monday already? Take me back to San Diego please. :)  But it's the first Monday of the Month which means it's time for Ten Favorite Things link up with Brianna

This month's topic is the place you call home. Whether it be the country, state, city or home you live in, make sure you go link up with Brianna. :) 
California. I'm picking the State of California, because although I grew up in SoCal my whole life, living in North California while in college was amazing.

//one// the weather, especially in SoCal. Sun pretty much year long. I love it!!  And when it gets cold or starts sprinkling we freak out aka the 50 degree weather. WE LOVE OUR SUNNY DAYS
//two// we have all types of environments. We have beaches. We have mountains (where it snows). We have deserts. We have beautiful green forests. We have farms. We have cities and suburbs.
//three// diversity. I love it. I went to a high school where it was pretty diverse, there was different kinds of people. I got to learn about different cultures. 
//four// sports. California has so many professional teams. 5 baseball teams, 4 basketball teams, 3 football teams,  3 hockey teams,  3 soccer teams plus the WNBA team. How awesome is that. I've been to 7 out of 14 stadiums. 
//five// Although I love the sun. The rainy days especially in Northern California are amazing. Over there everything is so green.
//six// Berkeley. My alma mater. My school. Where I graduated from. Some of the best years of my life. Top Public University in the nation. Yep.

//seven// I think going back to the diversity, we also get a huge range of delicious food. There are so many authentic diverse food. 
//eight// Cities!! I love L.A, shopped in S.F and partied in S.D. I'm a huge fanatic of cities, the tall buildings, the people, and I love the cities that I've been to here. 

//nine// History and Culture. In other words lots of touristy places to go. Missions, beaches, hikes, National Parks, Mountains, Golden Gate Bridge.
//ten// My family. I love that my family is here in California. I think if I were to live by myself somewhere else. I would totally be lost. hehe.
