I've Had Enough - I'm Moving

I like living in Kansas.  I really do.  It's a great place to raise a family, the standard of living is good, prices are reasonable (compared to both coasts and the warmer south), the people are friendly, my kids live here, (if you look hard) there is plenty to do - all in all, it's a reasonable place to land.  About the only complaint I have is the weather.


This is the view from my office window, after a high of near 70 yesterday.  And since I took this picture, it has  gotten worse (worser?).

So I'm moving.  Somewhere warm.  All the time.  70 in the winter would be nice. And I like hot weather so 80-90 in the summer would be ok.  I do have a couple of caveats - great place to raise a family, the standard of living must be good, prices need to be  reasonable (compared to both coasts and the warmer south), the people must be friendly, my kids have to live there,  plenty to do - sound familiar so far? - no bugs, great sunsets (or sunrises), opportunity to be involved in the community, crowded only when I want it to be crowded, great food, active running community (or at least races that I am interested in), close proximity to superior health care, close proximity to a major city (over 1 million).  Any suggestions?
