Happy Thursday! This might be a quick/short blog but we're still determined to blog every day this month!!
Pack a suitcase?! Today our topic is 5 Places You Want To Visit....This should be fun! Some of these places I have been to and some I have not but really want to go there!
Place number 1--- Wine Country---big surprise, right?!? I have never been to northern California and I would absolutely LOVE to take a vacation there. There's something about being near all of those wineries that speaks to my inner me! I have been to southern California (San Diego and Los Angeles) but never north of there! Let's go!!
Number 2 on the I've never been is my bucket list trip---Paris! I've been as close as the Paris Hotel & Casino in Vegas (kidding! I was in France one time, but not Paris) :) It's beautiful and I just love the European culture that I assume is there and in other parts of Europe. I have been to a few places in Europe on a wonderful experience of a European cruise in 2004. We went to Barcelona, Marseilles, Nice, Monaco, Florence, Rome & Naples....it was amazing! I loved Barcelona!
Number 3 on the list I've been to but it's been a few years and there's just a pull to go visit and soak in the place I used to call home. I want to visit the Eastern Shore of Maryland. That's funny to me though because when I first moved there I thought it to be the armpit of the world. Small town, lots and lots of locals and this 'city girl' didn't really fit in, but it's truly a beautiful place with some of my very best friends in the world calling that spot home. I've sine learned that Jersey is the true armpit :)
Number 4 is a place but yet an experience. I have been to (and LOVE) New York City (one extreme to the other right there) and I'd go back any day in a heartbeat. The vibe in that city and the atmosphere I truly love! However, what I REALLY want to do is go to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade (and to the balloon blowing up event the night before)....it's something I have wanted to do for YEARS! One day soon, I'm going!!! The problem with this is that Todd has no desire to go to New York! I'll have to work on that!
Number 5 is a never been and that's to Cape Cod-Nantucket-Martha's Vineyard (ok, I guess that's two places, but hey...it's my writing!) :) I have read a ton of books that are centered around being on the islands and I can 'see' it when I read. I'd love to go there. Clam bakes on the beach, relaxation, sounds great--but let's be clear...I only want to go in the summer.
That was five (if you count # 5 as one, and I did!) and there's more! I'd love to spend another two weeks in the cabin at the lakehouse we had over the summer. I'd love to cruise, to anywhere! I'd love to take Todd to New Orleans. I'm all about jumping in the car, on a boat, on a plane and going...if only work, children, pets and money were no object!
Where would YOU go? Leave a comment and tell me one places that you want to go or that you went that was amazing and I should consider!!!
Guess what?! We made it! Friday will be here in an hour! WHOOP WHOOP! I just peeked ahead at tomorrow's topic...um, that's going to be a tough one. We'll have to see what happens when my fingers hit the keyboard! Night Night, Sleep Tight!
