Where In The World

J and I have a rather long and extensive list of places we would love to visit one day. Some are common on most peoples list (i.e. Paris, London, Rome etc) some are not so common (i.e. Cradle of life, Egypt etc.)
Since we first got together we have always made trips and planned things to do in other towns. This was partially due to the fact that the town we live in has pretty much nothing to do, part was my own love of traveling to anywhere for anything. J has since caught the travel bug and added new destinations onto our list, I was more than happy to oblige!

Since we have been together we have been to:
Fort Worth
Arkansas
Las Vegas
New Mexico
Amarillo
Houston (way too many times to count, it's basically our backyard and family live there)
Scotland (all over Scotland, which warrants its own post)
Paris (just a night at a hotel)
London (for a millisecond)
Louisiana
Corpus Christi and surrounding beaches
Galveston
and lots of small towns in between.
This list is just places we have been together. When we first were dating, I went on a few trips with my college group to Arizona and Louisville with many stops in between that included Memphis and others.

We have been thinking of making a large international trip in December 2011. But with so many places to go it is hard to narrow it down. We have actually seriously talked about throwing a dart at a spinning globe!

Traveling is a passion of mine. I love seeing how other people live their daily lives and what natural beauty surrounds them. Since I was very little my family has traveled a lot! We have been to almost every one of the 50 states, and most were by car!

Now that I'm older I would love to take J to some of the places I have already been, but mostly I would love to travel to new places with him. When we were on our trip to Scotland I realized it's not just about me experiencing these things, it's about experiencing them with loved ones. Whether that be J or any of my friends (who I would love to take a few girls trips with), or even family. Traveling is just important to me to help me grow as a person.
What sort of places are on your list? Maybe I will post mine one day!

Here's a very old picture of J and I in Galveston for Mardi Gras
And here is a more current pic of us in Red River

* I deleted some of my old posts to flow better with my new blog*


So I have decide to take my blog in a new direction. I want to write about travel. I have always loved traveling ever since my parents drove us EVERYWHERE on vacation, just so we could stop and see every attraction along the way.

I have been to almost each of the 50 states and just recently traveled internationally. I want to take some time to write about past travels from what I can remember and new places that I had my own camera handy! So be on the look out for posts about recent and past travels. I am excited to put them out somewhere other than in my head to remember, I hope I can count on the memories of my parents and siblings for some of the past trips.

Not only do I want to write about trips I have taken, I want to write about trips I will be taking in the future, and put up my list of every place I want to go or go back to before I die.

So to get you in the travel mood too, I'm posting a few pics of different places.



* This is one of my all time favorite pictures. It is a shot of Edinburgh, Scotland looking down at the town from the castle. I wanted a panoramic shot, but didn't trust sitting the very expensive camera on the ledge there, so this was all done just by hand. I'm sure you can tell they don;t natch up exactly but pretty good for free hand.
* This is actually in Las Vegas we went a few years ago.
* This is the Palo Duro Canyon up by Amarillo, Texas. We stayed at J's dads work about 45 minutes away.


* This is J and our dog Shilo in Arkansas digging for diamonds!

*we didn't find any :(*
