Oh, yeah--Air conditioning is a non-negotiable!
I just know here in B'ham--well, you don't want to spend a lot of time outside here in summer--even in the shade. Maybe the higher elevations would be tolerable. Still...I'm picturing my kids trying to enjoy their Enos but sweating and complaining and swatting away gnats and mosquitoes. lol Lots of DEET, I guess.
I REALLY want to go camping!
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm leaning toward a mountain location.
