Five on Friday

Today I am linking up with my good friend, Leigh. She does a great job every week with her Fab Five on Friday, so today I thought I would join in.... since it is talking about one of my favorito topics... traveling. Prior to having the twins, I did a lot of traveling-- some for work, some for play. I always enjoyed the whole experience of seeing new places, trying to see how quickly I could make it through an airport (that was always a personal game of mine), trying new things, and really seeing how other's around the globe live. I have gone as far as Asia, with some time in Canada, various cities around the US, and 16 of places listed below (thanks to several cruises... oh, how we love a cruise!)


Since birthing the Twinkies, the traveling has pretty much come to a screeching halt. As they are getting older, it is fun to start thinking about places that we may be able to go in the future- so when I saw my girl Leigh's post today, I knew I had to jump on board and get that travel bug flowing (well not exactly travel bugs, because those are gross- but you know what I mean!).

With that in mind here are the Top 5 places I would like to go:

1) Bora Bora Tahiti- Ok, so this would be a Dra-eamm with my hubby. It just looks beautiful-- seriously, how more gorgeous can you get. I have visions of me ( a much skinny-er me) with an exotic flower behind my ear, sun burnt, trailing off to dinner on the beach with the handsome hub beside me. Ahh...

2) California- I have loved hearing the stories of Mike's time he was stationed in cali-- perfect weather, fresh food, tons of stuff to do outdoors, and the scenery. I would love for someday to make this a reality.... and kids can be in tow for this one, lots of fun stuff for them here.
3) Next up... Hawaii. Need I say more? Fun in the sun, a little volcano action, and a luau to round out the day. Sounds fabulous.
4) Seattle- I know kind of random for some folks, but I have always been interested in life on the western side of the US. Bella and I could sport some sweet rain boots while here.
5) Australia- They have hands down the coolest accents. So for that, it ranks in the top five. That and kangaroos.
This was a hard, but fun task. It was hard to narrow down the options. There are several honorable mentions to hand out here : Niagara Falls, Vancouver, Boston, Martha's Vineyard, and of course taking the kiddies to Disney.

  1. Yeah - thanks for joining in the fun. Bora Bora is on my list too, but it feels so far fetched...I am bound & determined to get there one of these days! Seattle is WONDERFUL, California (San Diego & San Fran, skip LA if you have to skip one of them) and Hawaii is a can't miss :)
