When I found out we were PCSing to GA, I was apprehensive. First of all, the south? Really? Hmm. Plus, doesn't it get hot there?
Most people think CA is this hot, sunny place where they go to the beach every day. Well, maybe in San Diego or something. But my Bay Area friends know that the temps are pretty much between 40° and 70° all year, with fog all summer. So if the temps hit 80°, it was hot.
My first summer in GA, there was record breaking heat. We didn't send our students to recess for the first two weeks of school in August - it was just too damn hot.
Going into my third summer here... bring it on! Now, 80° feels comfortable, and 90° just means that the pool will feel extra good. I even go outside when it's 100°, although it's hard to move sometimes.
See that sheen on my face in the photo? I know it's not cute, but dude, it was 100° outside. It was the Fourth of July festival on post, and my friend and I went to watch Husband do a jump. We were outside for a while, wandering around trying to find the landing area. There was no avoiding the sweat. It just materializes in the heat and humidity. That certainly didn't happen back in CA.
The whole point of this is that GA beats CA for the spring, summer and fall weather. We'll talk about winter another day.
California misses you!
