I’m a homebody by nature, always have been. However I do like to see new places and travel. (I just couldn’t go on a two-three week vacation.) Lately I’ve had this insanely strong urge to go somewhere. My travel Pinterest board just keeps growing. The last vacation Josh and I took was to Maine for our honeymoon (six years ago).
Josh and I are laid-back vacationers. We don’t want to take a bunch of tours or have lots planned out. We want to just wing it. We love the exploring and figuring out as we go. We are also totally not lay on the beach type of people. Sure it sounds relaxing but I think I’d get bored too quickly. Shoot, I can barely sit on the couch without doing something.
So we’ve been talking about where we’d like to go. Right now the plan is to go to Seattle. You know, someday when we have money. Also on the list: San Francisco, New York, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Australia… Ha. Yeah, someday we’ll go to all of those places. Josh and I have always talked about going back to Maine for an anniversary sometime. Part of me really wants to go back because it was so amazing. Another part of me doesn’t want to go back (at least not for a long time). There are SO many places I want to go. I can’t imagine using my rare vacation to go to the same place I’ve already been. Plus I really want to keep Bar Harbor special and I’m afraid going back might change that. I think of Bar Harbor and I instantly feel newly married and how amazing that vacation was. I kind of want to leave that feeling alone.
We are really hoping to be able to plan a vacation to Seattle in the next year or two. Financially I don’t know how we could ever swing it but you never know what will change in a year. I have high hopes that someday we’ll see all of the amazing things we want to see. We’ll spend the rest of our lives trying to figure out how to do it all. Because why not?
don’t forget you always have free place to stay near Denver! The couch pulls out into a double and we have a love-seat that converts to a single for Jasper AND you’d have your own bathroom :D
Emmy Lou – Yes! Denver sounds good too. Now if we can just get out there…
Oh my goodness I wish there was a way for you to meet my brother-in-law and sister-in-law because they live in Seattle and welcome house guests!! But, that would probably feel kind of weird to go out and stay with them if you’ve never met them. :(
When you go, I’ve got plenty of places you could stay. :)
Also, if you DO make it to Denver, we have a place for you as well. But I’m working on the getting to Illinois part too. :)
You know that there is room at the Taylor B&B if/when you make it out west! :)
