Beach or mountains? Which do I prefer and why? – An interesting thought for a weekend morning. Living in the state of Maryland, I have mountains 3 hours to the west and beaches 3 hours to the east. I love the beach because I love warm weather, sand and water.

Mountains are nice and very beautiful also. But if you have followed this blog for any time, you can see I’m at the beach far more than mountains.

So why do I live in Central Maryland, I asked myself. Pretty simple I guess, I grew up here and liked it. Went to school here, worked here, met my wife here, raised a family here.

But the beach is my love. I usually watch the sunrise over the Atlantic if I’m there or not. Family vacations or just us as a couple enjoy it year-round. Well, we don’t go in January or February, but we have been just about every other month. I think we might even add December to the list this year and go see the lights at the beach and walk the empty boardwalk and maybe even take our shoes off and get in the sand.

The beach has some of my best memories of my life.
