Our Favorite Places:
Living away from the place you consider home is an adventure, but also causes you to think about things in a new way. For me (Tina) it has caused me to think about my favorite places. For your benefit I will list a few of my favorites here. My favorite:
Beverage -- sweet tea (which is hard to find in Minnesota)
Ice cream flavor -- Ben & Jerry's Fossil Fuel or Imagine Whirled Peace

Without those experiences I wouldn't have discovered some of my favorite things.
