I have good friends who moved down to Spring, TX 10 years ago. They have been trying to get us to move down since. I visited a few times and loved it. Trying to convince my husband to leave. Now that the Wall Street industry is dying (or just about dead), I may have a shot at getting him to go. The hard part is leaving the kids and grand kids.
Spring is a now town. Its just outside of Houston so you will have lots to do. Next time bring your kids to visit they may like it too.
