Married 43 years and 2 kids. I've only ever lived in 3 counties in the Bay Area (SF, San Mateo, and Sonoma). I've visited a few places in different states, Canada, and Mexico.

Although San Francisco has many attractions, it has lost some of it's charm for me. It is so congested with traffic at all hours that it takes a bit of time to decompress once you've reached your destination. But I can say that the Golden Gate bridge is awe-inspiring.
