Wow, Great Topic!! My wife and I discuss this topic almost every week.
I do miss having 4 seasons, but only when I see Wisconsin is having good weather. We do miss the snow, but we can drive to Flagstaff, AZ in an hour or so. The funny thing that you don't think of is the color green. We have trees and some have lawns, but you just don't get that rich green color everywhere like at Home.
We miss being able to talk to everyone, including strangers and refer to the Packers as "WE". You can't just talk to a random person in the grocery store and say, "How do you think we are going to do this weekend?"
As far as Fish Fry's, I used to get really annoyed about not having great options. But it just took 3 years to find all the great spots in Phoenix. Still nothing like being able to head to your favorite lake and hit up the great Wisconsin Fish fry's and the feeling of everyone knowing your name.
One thing I love about moving away, is that we get to discuss our Hometown almost everyday. It's extremely funny and sometimes frustrating to have to Defend the Homeland on a regular basis. I really didn't understand other persons perspective of Wisconsin until we got away for sometime.
Also, how many times has someone told you that YOU have a Wisconsin Accent? Now, I can actually pick out a Wisconsin Accent. And the differences between the U.P., Canada and Wisco. Trust me, you do have an accent. Some worse than others. Don't take it as a bad thing!
That's all for now, what else are others missing or loving?
