[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer would have been yes for so long but I think it might be shifting. A[b]fter I turned 40 I just started to crave nature more and more[/b], I'm not sure if weekends and vacations and walks in the park would cut it for me. Even DC, where nature is pretty accessible, sometimes feels too urban for me these days.

The museums and restaurants and theater and dance might still be enough to sway me though. With a place upstate.[/quote]

Yes! In my 20s, I loved urban noise. The movement, energy, and vibe of big cities was so exciting. Now in my 40s, I crave green space, trees, and nature. I love the serenity and quiet of the suburbs, and there are so many big, beautiful tress where we live here in FFX. I don't find the stress of cities appealing anymore. Maybe because my life is more stressful? But now I rarely ever go to DC (why?) and usually just escape with the kids further into nature.

Some place like NYC would be a living hell. But, if I had the money, I'd absolutely buy a summer vacation home in Switzerland. [/quote]
