I live in upstate New York with my husband and our kids. I love travelling. I have never been to the west coast. I do not eat fish. I used to go fishing with my father. I sell medical equipment.I am busy at work. 
I am retired nurse. I spend time working out. I used to live in Chicago. I love Chicago pizza and burgers. I have never been to the west coast. I don't travel much. I hate travelling. I like to go fishing. I know how to clean fish. I have a wife and 3 grown kids.  I have a son on the west coast.
I am planning a trip to the west coast with my family. I've never been to the west coast. Let me know how it is! Do you have a dream vacation destination? I'm thinking about taking my kids on a fishing trip on the ocean.  I love fishing but I don't really have a dream vacation spot. I don't do that much travelling. I haven't fished since I was a teenager with my father. I thought it would be a great way to enjoy the ocean and make some family memories. Do you you prefer fresh or saltwater fishing? I prefer freshwater fishing. I agree, fishing is a great way to make some lasting memories, especially with the family. I thought it would be worth the cost-I found a discount family package and they say there are also a lot of whales and dolphins in the area. My father and I used to catch trout in the mountains.  It would be quite the sight to see a whale in real life. You should take some pictures if you do. Fishing for trout is fun and they are delicious. I saw blue whales and a humpback whale on an Alaskan cruise when I was about 12 or so. One of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen. I bet they look even bigger in real life than they do in the pictures. I couldn't believe the size of the blue whale, not to mention the grace. If anything else, I figure it could be a great afternoon on a boat and they really want to see the ocean.  I think it's great that you want to make memories with your family. I haven't seen my son in a few years so memories are very important to me.
