Best Place to Raise a Family

This morning on the Today Show, Today 101: The 100 best places to raise a family. Since we can't live in Honolulu at least were in Billings.
1 Honolulu, Hawaii — Schools spend almost $9,000 per pupil, unemployment ranks less than half the national average, and you can play on the island of O'ahu's 125 beaches.

2.Virginia Beach, Virginia

3 Billings, Montana

4 Columbus, Georgia

5 San Diego, California

6 Des Moines, Iowa

7 Minneapolis, Minnesota

8 Madison, Wisconsin — Madison has a high number of pediatricians per capita.

9 Colorado Springs, Colorado

10 Santa Rosa, California

In Montana where there are endless places to explore
where over crowding is three people trying to reel in the catch
where your neighbor is just 5 minutes away
where time stands still
where rush hour is a little smoother
where your wardrobe dilemma is, "Which color to wear?"

Have we sold you yet? Montana....We think it's the best place to raise our family.

This post is so surreal. It was like a mini vacation.

I was tempted. Especially by those hot pink boots. Love the pictures. Congrats to Billings. There's no way we can move there. I heard there's no post office.

Dan and I were just talking about you all and living in Montana last night! I like the small town feel of Tooele, I don't like that it is so far from stores. I was comparing it to Billings, but Billings is better, 15 minutes from everything. I'm 2 minutes from wal-mart...thats it! At least you have a mall...you know that really big building with a variety of stores. I think its brown. I'll show you next time we come!!! I'd be a good neighbor. Maybe we should come that way!
