These are a Few of my Favorite Things!

Just as I promised...the next post on my "Favorite Things" series! It being summertime, the time for vacations, I decided to share with you my list of places I want to visit one day. I love to travel but do not get to do it very often, so I keep dreaming! Nothing wrong with that, right! And yes my list is quite lengthy, but I want to see the different places God created. One day...

~PARIS~

~I have wanted to go to Paris for as long as I can remember! My Grandaddy and I always said we would go together :) Paris is #1 on my list of destinations! I am in love with it!~

~New York~

~New York is probably second on my list. I want to go at Christmas because the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree (and the ice skating rink below) is one of my favorite scenes ever! I want to stay in the Plaza Hotel (from Home Alone 2) that you can see from Central Park. I also plan to see the Phantom of The Opera and a Christmas Orchestra Concert at Carnegie Hall! Not that I have thought about this trip or anything :) ~

~Canada~

Vancouver

Whistler 

Quebec City 

Lake Louise

~Will and I honeymooned in Victoria, British Columbia in Canada. I'd always been interested in Canada but Victoria was absolutely incredible and now I want to see the whole country! I would really like to take a train ride across the country stopping and staying in the Fairmont Hotels. They are amazingly beautiful with incredible architecture. These four places are my top destinations to visit in Canada! ~

~Washington DC~

~ I went to Washington DC when I was about 4 years old but I do not remember much at all. So I want to go back and see it all! I would like to go during the Cherry Blossom Festival. I love Cherry Blossoms and can't imagine how beautiful it would be to see that many surrounding national monuments!~

~England~

~Oh to see England! Apart from Paris, this is probably my favorite overseas destination. I love all the old architecture, the castles, the food, the accents, the royalty! I could go on forever! ~

~Italy~

Tuscany

Amalfi Coast 

Venice

~Ahh...Italy...it just seems like the most romantic place in the world! I love Italian food in America, I can't imagine how wonderful it must be in Italy! ~

~Las Vegas~

~Will and I love the movie 'Oceans Eleven.' I think it is what really sparked our desire to visit Vegas. You just can't have a destination list and not add Vegas!~

~Alaska~

~My Grandparents went on a trip to Alaska years ago and after seeing the pictures they brought back and hearing about their trip, I've wanted to go ever since! It is just such a unique place with serene beauty!~

~St. Lucia~

~Before Will and I decided to marry in December, I always said St. Lucia would be where I honeymooned. But since we got married the week before Christmas, we wanted to go somewhere wintery instead. So, I've yet to go to St. Lucia! I want to stay at a Sandals Resort with a private plunge pool! ~

~New England~

~I want to take a trip through New England seeing specifically Maine (thoroughly enjoying the lobster!), Philadelphia, the Amish country, Boston, and all the small towns and old churches along the way. I think it would be the most beautiful in the fall...~

~California~

~I would love to see the Pacific Coast in California. There are so many different areas that I couldn't pick just one to see! On the list are Hollywood and Beverly Hills, San Francisco, Napa Valley, and Los Angeles. ~

~Charleston~

~I have been to Charleston, but it was in college to a mission fuge camp; therefore, I did not get to see any of Charleston that I would like to see. My Grandma cross stitched the famous Rainbow Row and it has hung in her house for years! It has always been a dream of mine to actually see it in person :) ~

~Savannah~

~Those that know me well, know the one main reason I want to visit Savannah...Paula Deen! I dearly love her...so obviously I will be eating at The Lady and Sons:). But beyond this, there are many things about Savannah that are appealing to me, one being the gorgeous southern style of homes pictured above! ~

~Seattle~

~I do not have a great reason for why I want to visit Seattle, it has just always been somewhere I would like to go. It seems like a very unique city. I have seen several things on the Fish Market and would love to spend a day browsing there! ~

~San Antonio~

~The 3 years that Will and I lived in Texas, we never got the opportunity to visit San Antonio. The picture above is of the famous Riverwalk where I would love to spend all my time, including a hotel room with a view of this very shot! ~

~Lake Tahoe~

~Lake Tahoe has always seemed stunningly beautiful to me. I am actually not a skier, never even attempted it, but the scenery seems breathtaking! I would love to stay in a cozy cabin with this very view! ~

~Cruise~

~Hopefully, I will be going on a cruise sooner than later! Will and I both really want to cruise somewhere tropical and if plans work out, we would like to go for our 5th anniversary this year! ~

SO...I know my list is very lengthy, but traveling is something I really LOVE to do. And since my means don't allow for the actual trips right now, the planning and dreaming will do :)
