Virtual Vacation


As winter comes to a close and spring and summer are near....I start to think about vacations.  Ahhhhhh.  Vacation.  Sweet, sweet vacation.  I LOVE to travel!  It's hands down my favorite thing to do.  I love visiting new places and experiencing new things; as well as going back to some of my favorite towns (Ahem, Charleston!) again and again.  Sadly, I'm not sure how much room is going to be left in our budget this year for an actual "vacation." 

There's something so carefree, fun and relaxing about vacations.  Yet they are new, exciting and adventurous at the same time.  I have plenty of places on my "vacation wish list"......perhaps we shall take a virtual vacation together today.  Do any of these options pique your interest? 

Y'all pack your bags because we're going on a virtual vacation!  :)

Viva Las Vegas!
(can you believe I've never been?)

Let's hear it for New York (City)!
These streets will make you feel brand new!
Big lights will inspire you!
(Can you believe Mr. D has never been?)

The New England area.
Ahhhh.Life on the cape.Riding bikes on the vineyard.Clam bakes.


Perhaps Passport travel is more your style?  I definitely have the itch to do some traveling abroad...it's been FAR too long!  And, Mr. D has never been across the pond.  I would love to take him.  He would love all the history!  


ENGLAND!
Mind the gap.Parliament.Buckingham Palace.Prince William.

Bonjour Paris?  Oui!!!
The romance.Le Tour De Eiffel.The shopping.The chocolate croissants! Mmmm.

Venice is on my must see list!

So is Rome.

Maybe a day or so in Madrid?

Or Barcelona?  The Gaudi architecture is to die for!!!
I certainly fell in love with this city. 

We definitely need to make a pit stop in Ireland.
Another one on my must see list.

GREECE!!!!
If I had to go to one place right this second I would probably pick Greece.

I've never been to Greece.  I am dying to go.
Isn't this beautiful?

The color. The hills. The clear water. 
I love it all!

So what do y'all think?  Where would you want to go if you could jet off today on an all expenses paid trip?
Anyone have any big plans this weekend?  (If you tell me you're leaving for one of the places mentioned above I will be green with envy.)

xoxo,
Mrs. D

  8. I have travel fever! If I could go right now I would go to Europe and see Rome, Italy, France, and England. But those would probably all be separate trips in themselves!

  10. I just got back from a week in Orlando, which was such a nice break from all the cold. Didn't make it to Disney but did spend a ridic amount of time at Harry Potter in Universal. Sadly (or not sadly..?) most of my travel this year is for weddings, so I'll be going to such hotspots as Atlanta (oh wait, I live here), Nashville, Cincinnati, and possibly San Fran. I love my friends dearly and am SO excited to celebrate with them! Just no extra time/money to go anywhere else. I have 4 friends going to Greece for 3 weeks in June, and if I could sneak into someone's suitcase I would be there in a heartbeat! For my 30th bday, a few years down the road, my mom and I are planning a big trip to England/Ireland/Scotland. I have visions of running across a field in Ireland, chasing Shetland ponies and wearing wellies. A girl can dream. :)
