California

California is such a great state and I'm so proud and lucky to be from here.

Driving up Highway 99 in the springtime is absolutely beautiful. All the fruit trees are in bloom. There's rolling hills with field after field of pale pink, purple, red, yellow and white. As the petals fall, they create a carpet that looks like snow under the trees. And that's interspersed with the new grass coming up after the rains.

California has so many other magnificent parts - the rugged coastline or the wide beaches or redwoods or the mountains. The San Joaquin Valley that feeds so many often gets upstaged but is truly beautiful. I'm glad I got to go through it in springtime before we take off to see the world.
