Hello Monday! Today I'm talking about Dream Travel Locations. I have just started to think about "big" travel again, especially after hearing that the US will no longer require a test to re-enter the country. Add to that our new empty nester status in the fall, and I'm hoping to reignite my interest in travel.
First a quick summary of our weekend. On Saturday, we all saw Top Gun and then went to lunch. On Sunday, we went to church and then out to lunch. Both days we went out to the pool, even though it was scorching hot. The sun was intense! We are expecting temps near 100 all week with no rain. This feels really hot for June weather.
Let's start with some National Parks.
I have quite a few at the top of my list.
Zion National Park
I think there are several others in the area that I want to see too.
Glacier National Park
Redwood National Park
Mount Rushmore
Crater Lake National Park
Yosemite - revisit since our trip in 2018 was snowed out
Now some general regions I'd like to visit:
We loved our trip to Boston and Maine, so I'd like to go back and also see more of New England.
I'd like to visit the Great Lakes, but don't know enough about the area to have any details.
There are so many areas of Florida I'd like to visit or revisit:
Sarasota, Amelia Island, Naples, St. Augustine, etc.
And some areas of Europe:
A trip back to Ireland; we went in 2001 for our honeymoon
A trip to the European Christmas markets again
Lots of European areas on my list: Copenhagen, Budapest, longer trip through Italy, more of France, Croatia and more.
It goes without saying that I would love to return to England and Scotland...so much still to see!
Thanks for stopping by - have a wonderful week!

Zion and Bryce were such amazing National Parks. I'd definitely go back!
ReplyDeleteRe wanting to go back to England and Scotland - I have that same problem. I visit a place to knock it off the list but then love it and want to go back! I have been to England once and can't wait to visit again, we only just scratched the surface.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh I would love to go to every single one of these places. If you go to Maine, I recommend Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park-- they're wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHope you make it back to New England! We would welcome you with open arms :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! New England sounds nice if it is cooler than the south this week :). Zion is beautiful and I love Glacier, especially since I got married there. I have also heard of many people vacationing in the Great Lakes and loved it. So fun to dream as empty nesting is coming up soon!
ReplyDeleteI need to add Great Lakes and National parks to our list!
ReplyDeleteSo many of these are on my bucket list, too! This is a great list!
ReplyDeleteZion and Bryce canyon top my lists for National parks right now (though that seems to change based on books or blogs I read).. one day I hope to see them all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a post! Many of these parks are on my list for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love your list!! You know I love Naples. I'd really like to visit New England. And gosh I love all those out west parks. If you do Mt Rushmore (which is amazing!) - go on the guided tour, drive through the Black Hills, visit The Badlands and we enjoyed seeing Crazy Horse. There's also a really fun town nearby called Deadwood that we really enjoyed visiting. It has tons of history and wild west stories. Zion is amazing. The hikes are so cool and so scary haha. Bryce is great and there are so many cool things to see in Utah.
