Favorite Places!
I’ve done a bit of traveling in my day, and the trips I’ve taken with my husband, our kids, and now our grandkids hold some of my most cherished memories. My family didn’t travel much when I was a kid, except for camping during the summer. I’m no world traveler but I do feel blessed to have seen so much beauty that the world has to offer.
My husband and I did a lot of hiking, backpacking, and traveling when we first started going together, and we still thoroughly enjoy it when we can. Both our sons went through Boy Scouts, and because their troop was so active we were fortunate enough to do even more with them.
Some of my favorite trips have been here in the US, to Colorado & Utah, Florida, and the pacific northwest, but it’s such a thrill to travel abroad and see different places like Dublin, London, and Australia.
I’ve placed some links on here to some of my favorite places I’ve been or would like to go - let me know if you have any suggestions!
