I'm a Kansas plains kinda girl. I'll take my wheat fields and prairie sunsets any day. I do enjoy visiting both the mountains and the ocean though although both have their cons. I get pretty severe altitude sickness in the mountains and the deep, deep, deep, dark parts of the ocean scare the crap out of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81710 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:00:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 81710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both... growing up in California really spoiled us in that regard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81707 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:58:23 +0000 StbHisMrs 81707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love both, but Ocean is probably my favorite. In Oregon we're so lucky, we have the beach, mountains, and desert all in a very close proximity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81644 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:01:06 +0000 banana 81644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean for sure! But we actually live by the mountains now (we moved her because of the good schools). But would love to live by the ocean one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81549 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:26:40 +0000 Mrs Sorbet 81549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely the ocean. I've always lived very near the ocean and can't imagine myself living too far away from it. My state has some pretty majestic mountains as well, but the ocean feels like home to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81482 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:55:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 81482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean, even though I'm a Nebraska girl and we have neither. The elevation in the mountains gives me serious headaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81454 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:30:40 +0000 Alivoo01 81454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love both, but I think I have a slight more preference towards the ocean bc of scuba diving and I love swimming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81412 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:59:30 +0000 BananaPancakes 81412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Florida girl here, so ocean. Though there is something magical about the mountains. It's so flat here that they just seem surreal when every time we go on vacation near them, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81319 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 06:32:13 +0000 cupcakemama 81319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean! There is nothing like going for a swim amongst the waves on a late summer afternoon... or sitting watching the beach, coffee to hand on a lovely, sunny morning. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81293 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 03:00:03 +0000 looch 81293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean, but warm! I don't like mountains in the winter, but they're a totally different experience in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81242 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:51:55 +0000 MaisyMay 81242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oceans! I'm also blessed to live in Cali, and actually grew up living in a mountain town while my parents had a business across the street from the ocean, best of both worlds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81238 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:50:30 +0000 tequiero21 81238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love them both, but oceans for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81219 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:01:26 +0000 lemondrop 81219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is a tough one, I love both! I would split the difference and live in the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington- they have both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81195 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:57:51 +0000 Penny Lane 81195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean! Where I grew up, you could live anywhere in the country and not be further than a half an hour drive from an ocean &lt;3</p> <p>Oh, land locked state, how you pain me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81094 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:37:36 +0000 mediagirl 81094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean. The sounds are so soothing! I love the mountains but driving in them when it's snowing can be treacherous!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81069 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:29:52 +0000 anbanan15 81069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: yup! Not that I'm doing anything with it and live in a land locked state or anything... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81053 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:25:31 +0000 lilteacherbee 81053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean. In NC, the mountains are about 6 hours from the beach. We'd always go on vacations to the mountains, but I prefer the ocean. The smell of the ocean is something I love about home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81038 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:21:24 +0000 BSB 81038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean. That was an easy one! We love going to the beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81033 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:19:23 +0000 Maysprout 81033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean. My husband loves the mountains (though he likes the ocean too). We've been lucky and on a lot of our trips been able to split our time between the two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81020 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:15:27 +0000 chopsuey 81020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: fun! marine biology?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81011 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:13:18 +0000 Grace 81011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean. I live on the praries and I find the mountains to be strangely claustrophobic. I love being able to see the horizon at the ocean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-81005 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:11:56 +0000 anbanan15 81005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ocean! I majored in it so I better love it lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-80998 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:10:52 +0000 Mrs. Bee 80998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love both but oceans for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-80997 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:09:45 +0000 chopsuey 80997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I would love to live 10 mins from the ocean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-80995 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:09:23 +0000 heffalump 80995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always lived 10 minutes from a beach. I love the mountains, but the ocean is my home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ocean-or-mountains#post-80993 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:08:51 +0000 chopsuey 80993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you like better? The ocean or the mountains?<br /> I grew up in CA.. we have both within 30 minutes.<br /> But I prefer the ocean.<br /> I love the smell of the ocean air.<br /> I love how calm I feel when I see the waves crashing on the shore.<br /> I love standing in the water and feeling like I'm moving when the waves roll back. </p> <p>I miss you, CA. </p>
