I absolutely love traveling. I love to go to new places where I have no idea what it’s going to be like or what I will see and do. I don’t do NEARLY enough and I feel like I have just begun to realize my dreams to visit EVERYwhere.

I’ve been to nearly half of the states in the US - a few are from when my family moved to the state of Washington when I was about 6. So I don’t remember a handful of them. Others I have experienced from mearly driving through on my way to California- or New Orleans. So they are “drive-thru” states. The only places I have actually experienced where I have had time to be a tourist and realize are:
California
Colorado
New Mexico
Louisiana
Illinois (of course)
Wisconsin
Michigan
Tennessee
Washington

Those are basically the only states that I specifically remember enough to have an opinion about them. And the first and only time I’ve been out of the country was about a month ago when Loree and I took a trek to Canada and the Falls.

I want to visit everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. I don’t have the funds for it, but someday I will see things like Athens and the Parthenon, Rome and the Collisseum, The Great Wall of China, Egypt and the Pyramids (yep, I’m a history buff, anyone see the connection here? lol ) Loree and I have talked about making the Grand Canyon or the Ozarks our next trip.. We shall see.

NINE days from today I will be at the Rocky Mountains in Colorado taking in the mountain air and the fresh sun. Can’t beat that!
