Washington
Yeah. It's not the greatest state by any means, but the older members of your family probably enjoyed some scenic mountain views. Technically, when you drive from Toronto to Orlando, you go more through West Virginia than Virginia. You only go through a small sliver of southwest Virginia while you go through the middle of basically the entire state of WV.Cool. Guess I’ll have to add that to the list then. I checked with my older brothers and they confirmed that we did in fact drive there. I was only two years old so I barely remember anything about the trip other than Figment the Magic Dragon from Epcot.

Awesome. Not that it's a competition, but there are some beautiful parts of West Virginia as well.“Scenic mountain views”? Do you mean the Appalachians or whatever they’re called? With the exception of an 11 month secondment for work for my Dad from 1987-1988 which took us to Toronto our family has been in Alberta since 1975 where we have basically had the Rockies in our backyard. This is Banff National Park, one hour’s drive from Calgary:
Lake Minnewanka where I proposed to my wife in 2011
Moraine Lake
Mount Rundle
And about three hours from Edmonton is Jasper national park:
Maligne Lake
Not sure the Appalachians would really register on our radar as “mountains” so much as large hills.

*Like*Its definitely beautiful. I’m just saying to a family of Albertans it wouldn’t register as “mountains”
*Like*
Yeah, I understand. It's more hilly than truly mountainous for the most part. And Alberta's scenery is truly impressive. And while the topography of Toronto is pretty average overall (it's a great city of course), the Scarborough Bluffs are beautiful and unique for an urban area.
*Like*Cool, I’m not familiar with those. When we lived in Toronto in 87-88 we were in Markham so we very well probably never even made our way out there for all I’d know. I’ll have to ask my folks if we had ever been.
