Oh, the Places We've Been

I have travel on the brain! It seems like as soon as I get back from a vacation, I'm already planning our next one. Devin and I only had a couple of days off during Christmas, and it only left me wanting more. I could really use a week long vacation every 2 months... I would settle for one week every quarter.

Since I've only recently started blogging somewhat consistently, I wanted to document (reminisce) all the (big) trips Devin and I have taken since we got married, and I want my next post to be a bucket list of all the trips I still want us to take! This way I can strategically plan out how to use all my vacation days and maybe save a few for if I get sick.

So from the present... all the way back to where we started... here's a look at what we've been up to!

We visited my sister for Thanksgiving this year. While we were there we hit up Disney World and Universal Studios. 4 Disney parks + 14 hours = Extreme Disney Worlding.

Euro Trip - London, Paris, Munich, Fussen, Venice and Rome
September/October 2011

We spent 18 days gallivanting around Europe this fall with our best friends, Brian and Vania. I have started a blog post with just London pictures, but there are SO MANY to sort through! It's going to take a while, but eventually I will blog about each city we went to. Part of my New Year's Resolution.

Arizona - Phoenix, the Grand Canyon, Jerome (haunted town) and Sedona
August 2010

Me and the hubs at the Grand Canyon.

A helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. We saw it from the air before we saw it from the ground. So cool!.


The view on the drive into Sedona.

The Jerome Grand Hotel - it used to be a hospital and is now known as one of the most active haunted locations in the world!

Honeymoon - Jamaica
August 2009

Our adventure started with this one. Our honeymoon to Jamaica!



None of these trips would mean anything without Devin by my side. I have loved every minute with him and I can't wait for all the adventures to come.

What I long for...

Each day I count down the hours for this.
