I feel like such a snob when I say this, so I usually just keep it to myself, but I truly believe that the Aspen Valley in Colorado is one of the most beautiful places around. Sure, Lake Forest is pretty with its fabulous mansions and Lake Michigan is alright (besides the pollutants in the water). I realize that every person has a different view on what is aesthetically pleasing to them. For me it is the mountains. And who would not want to wake up to this every morning. I know I certainly would not trade it for anything and I realize that I am lucky to be able to see such an amazing sight every day that I am home.
