My wife and I were there for one year and really didn't care for it.

When I lived in Charleston, I drove down once with a friend after we heard people raving about it. I didn't find it all that interesting. There's lots of wrought iron, but didn't really seem to be all that much to see. I came away very unimpressed, but maybe it was an unfair comparison to Charleston.

Virginia has some absolutely beautiful scenery. Beautiful green, rolling hills.

I like Kershaw. I just do.
I was living in the LA when I met my wife. She had a nicer house in K-town and my family was still living near there. So it was a no-brainer we would live in her house.

We think we will move somewhere coastal maybe after my daughter graduates. Maybe.
