Cost doesn't matter too much, you have a job that can travel with you, and you will go for 3 months, however, it must be within the US. Also, the only animals you have are ones that can travel with you or can be butchered before you leave. We really don't know too much about warmer states so would like to get some input from others.
We have thought about places like southern CA, the old cliche of Florida, and others such as Arizona but don't really know much of these areas.

I don't know why people hate winter as it is my favorite time of year, but to each their own. If I wanted somewhere warmer I would go back to where I grew up in the Southern tip of IL. It has a warm climate, mild winters, long spring and autumn but murderously hot and humid summers. It is hilly, scenic and the cost of living is cheap, so is property. It is also relatively unmolested by urbanites as well, although we never had wineries when I grew up (apples & peaches) and now the area is dotted with vineyards.
If I ever move again it would be somewhere colder with a longer snowmobiling season. Warm weather is for the birds.
