I love love love to travel by air, train, car or bus and try to do it as much as possible. But that’s not always easy for a working girl in a crazy fast-paced world (smile). However this girl can dream so it is my hope to someday have the opportunity to do the following touristy things in places that I have heard about, watched on TV or read about.
Here they are and not in any particular order:
- Napa Valley, CA – Vineyards, sweet Vineyards…Napa Valley Wine tours by trolley and picnic lunches on a scenic terrain come to mind…
- Chicago, IL – I could pinch myself for not visiting Chicago during Oprah’s reign! I still want to visit if for nothing else then…to window shop along The Magnificent Mile, take a stroll through Grant Park or roller skate along the lakefront…
- Austin, TX Here is where I would jump into Barton Springs Pool with its 70-degree year round water temps, watch the fireworks over Lady Bird Lake from a small boat or speed walk the full loop of the Lady Bird Hike and Bike Trail.
- Seattle, WA – I would visit the Central Public library, head on over to Pike Place Market to check out the original Starbucks. And then take a ride on the Space Needle to see panoramic views of Puget Sound.
- Denver, CO – Love to visit the Downtown Aquarium, the Denver Zoo and Confluence Park.
- San Francisco, CA – I would take a drive across the famous Golden Gate bridge, or catch a Cable car, or walk up those steep streets to view beautiful Victorians, what’s not to love!
- New Orleans, LA – Always wanted to visit the “Big Easy.” I’d check out The French Quarter, the House of Blues, and of course, experience Mardi Gras.
- Myrtle Beach, SC – I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Hilton Head, S.C. which was beautiful but pricey. I hear that Myrtle Beach is much more affordable with good, clean fun so I hope to make it there soon. Especially for those S.C. beaches and the boardwalk…
- Honolulu, Hawaii – Who in my age group (we grew up watching Hawaii 5-0!) has not wanted to visit Hawaii?!? Diamond Head Wet ‘n’ Wild Hawaii, Halona Blowhole, Kuhio Beach Park, the list is endless…
- The Outerbanks, NC – I just know I would enjoy the Stand Up Paddle at Cape Hatteras, touring the Bodie Island Lighthouse, and swimming in the Outerbanks.
I promise that If/when I do visit these places, I will be sure to blog about it (smile).
