RT: Travel anyone?

Gosh I need a vacation...

But with a kitty that has been sick, it has not been decided whether we are still going on our planned road trip or not. Our little Lily has been feeling better, but i would hate to see her relapse. It wouldn't be a good thing. And this girl would not be up for traveling. All I would be in the mood for would be movies and a Costco sized box of Kleenex! (Look at me, all pessimistic... ) She's doing well and all I can do is THANK GOD for that! It's not time for that cute kitty to leave this world. She still has so much to do and see! 

So, all this talk of a possible canceled vacation has me only thinking that i need to take one! So which would it be...

Well... let's choose one for each because I just love to travel! So I guess my answer is ALL THREE! 

|one|

Beach

This beach is on the island my mother grew up on. I love the red sand and in the summer months, there are tourists as far as the eye can see! I love the shallow water and the history of the place in general! There is a wall built under the water that was built to protect the beach during war times. There is also said to be a cave that was built that went from a high cliff above this beach to under the water all the way to Sicily! All for people to escape! So if I took a trip to a beach, I would love to take my hubby here! He would also get to meet my family!

Rustic Cabin

These may not count so much as cabins, but they are close enough. These are not far from home, but my hubby and I have definitely wanted to give them a try! We would love to do this with a bunch of friends and just hang by the beach for a week! Shopping and restaurants are close by if you want a quick trip down to hang out, but if you stay down there, you can cook your own meals in the kitchen that is fully functional!

City

My sister lives here, so this would kill two birds with one stone. My hubby and I really want to visit Europe period and this would be my choice for the city we would see together! So much still that I'd love to go back to see more of or even just see anew! 

That's my Random Thursday post for the week!

Bingo was his Name-o

My husband and I are planning our next road trip! Both of us are quite excited and will definitely be ready to play some car games and crank up the tunes! We don't have kids now, but I thought i would make this cute little game for some of you out there that may be interested! 

As a teacher there are so many strategies that can be put to use in the car for kiddos. Playing simple car games without a lot of pieces and that can be easily managed by the driver can mean the difference between a smooth, calm car ride and a REALLY chaotic one! Hope you can put this to good use! I would love to hear if you put this to use or are planning on using this! Please share if you do by leaving a comment! 

Please use this game safely and following all the rules of the road!

A Trip to Seattle

Hey there! 

Today is the first vacation post! 

Also, just so you all know, my goal is not to inundate you with immense amounts of vacation posts all at once. Instead i am going to keep you wanting more and will post a couple posts a week for the next couple weeks! This way you won't get bored looking at all the pictures all at once! Believe me there's a lot! So without further ado.... 

Our first day we spent traveling, resting and then heading out to dinner... we found a great spot, thanks to yelp reviews and I think i may have red  about  the restaurant on someone's blog at some point or another. We ate at Serious Pie and loved it! 

 

MMMmmm it sure as tasty! 

The next day we set out to meet this girl...

Rachel the Pike Place Market mascot! 

Here are some other shots from that day down by the market and surrounding areas!

This place made cheese right before our eyes! And it tasted WONDERFUL!

We ate the most delicious mac and cheese made with fresh cheese!!! It claimed to be the World's Best.... and though i know it might compare to your mom's homemade.... I definitely think that this stuff could beat anyone's homemade! Wow! It was good!

After all that wandering we headed back to the hotel to rest up for the baseball game that night! 

Here are some of the sights we saw:

 

 And ... one last picture for the night.... 

Sunday will be the next Vacation Post!

Hope you enjoyed! 

Sunday Social: Travel

Linking up today with Neely over @ A Complete Waste of Make Up! This is definitely a post that is not helping my excitement to vacation! I am so excited to create more memories in Alaska, Seattle and Canada! I love to travel and this week's Sunday Social is all about the traveling! 

Enjoy a little bit of a few of the trips i have taken! 

Best trip I've Ever Been On

Well, there are a couple trips that i have loved immensely! They are:

1. My Honeymoon with my hubs, of course, to Hawaii. We went to Maui and Oahu for about 9 days and loved every minute of the trip! We traveled, explored, swam, sat on the beach, ran in the rain, searched for banana bread and ate a bunch!  We used the book Maui Revealed to help us along on our trip If you ever go to Maui, please buy this book! It will help out a bunch! 

Here's a few shots from that trip:

2. The other trip i loved was a family trip to see my younger sister in 2009. My Mom and I went to visit my younger sister and her boyfriend who live in London! We had so much fun exploring and not trying to fit it all in. Rather, we had a relaxing trip that was filled with many new sights and experiences! 

Here are some things you could see:

Stonehenge

The London Eye

Parliament and Big Ben

A day at the races! 

Parliament Gardens

                                    Best Idea for a Girls Weekend

This would be another one with two answers! 

Loved Visiting Santa Barbara with the girls for a Bachelorette party! We had a great time on a wine tasting tour through the city and enjoyed a night on the town! It was a fun weekend! 

I also loved Palm Springs! 

This was my own Bachelorette party and it was a fun day of sitting by the pool and relaxing with a drink in hand! 

A little Mexican food to begin the weekend! Complete with a mariachi band to serenade you! 

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway gives great views! 

Especially from the top!
This is my little sis and me BTW!

Of course you gotta find a great group of girls to take with you! Love all these gals! 

Best Idea for a Couples Trip

If this means a trip with other couples ... I would love to go to Paso Robles again! We did this exactly one year ago today and it was such a blast! (Happy Birthday Jami!) This was a weekend filled with fun, friends, hiking in a vineyard (not recommended), yummy food and wine!

If this means just a weekend to get away as a couple .... then i would never turn down a weekend with the hubs in San Diego! I love that city and as i have said before, it holds a lot of special memories for us!  

Best Vacation on the Cheap

My best idea of a vacation on the cheap would be a camping trip! My hubs and i have not camped together but would love to head out and just camp for a weekend! There are some local parks and beach camps here in So Cal and that would be really inexpensive! It would be nice ot have a weekend to hike, cook by the campfire, play some games, and relax! 

Place You most Want to Visit

With my trip to Alaska fast approaching, my excitement is GROWING! But because i know that is a dream that will be realized pretty soon... after that my craving is to visit Europe again! I would love to go to London, Germany, and Italy with hubs! It would be so much fun!

Vacation/Travel Necessities

I just did a guest post about this! Along with those things, I will be packing my iPad and a couple books. For now, this is the book that I will have in tow on our cruise! I will also be reading digital versions of the Real Simple Magazine! <3 Along with the reading material, I will not leave behind my flip flops! Love those rainbows! 

What do you like to pack? What can you not leave without? 

Where have you been?
