California
I was able to take a trip to San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, and Redwoods National Park with my family when I was in High School. That was my first experience with California, and if I recall correctly I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Since that time, I've had the opportunity to explore quite a bit more - I lived in Sunnyvale, CA (in Silicon Valley, outside of San Francisco) for just under 2 years while working for Yahoo! I was able to visit quite a bit of the state during that time, with an emphasis on the remarkable national parks!
I still plan to move back to California when I come back from New Zealand, so I'm sure I'll be able to add a lot more over time!
