This year I have traveled a lot. Which makes me happy because at the beginning of the year I made a resolution to travel more. This is listed in no particular order. I was going to list them from Jan-Dec but it was taking me too much time.
I went to California to visit a friend. Although her and I no longer keep in touch, I still do treasure the memories from the trip. She was gracious enough to allow me into her home, and also to drive me all over her region of Cali. I had a fantastic time!
Joe and I headed back to Cape May, NJ. We hadn't been here since December 2007 and even then we didn't sight see much. The weather was much warmer and so the beaches were packed. We loved the lighthouse.
I went to Philadelphia TWO times this year. My husband got sent there for the summer so I went to visit him. We had such a great time. When he first left it was really hard on me. However, I had a literal rude awakening. I learned to just go with the flow. I learned a lot about myself and a lot about the friends that I had. It's weird what comes out of certain trials in your life. This summer certainly changed ME and changed the company I keep....in a good way.
I went up to Yorktown, VA with my friend Donna so that we could watch Savvy graduate from A-School. It was just a short weekend trip but we had an awesome time. I miss these ladies so much now.
We traveled through Nashville, TN to visit our friend Vaughn. My brother and him became good friends in the Navy and now Vaughn is an extension of our family.He's always visiting KC to see us, so we thought that we would drop in to see him.
We traveled to Williamsburg, Va to take in all the history in the Historic Triangle. We had such a great time and soon plan on going back since it is now only 2 hours away from where we live.
We also traveled home to Kansas City TWO times. Once in February and once in October. It is always wonderful to see our family and friends there. We took in so many sights,did so many things, and met up with so many people...that we were exhausted both times when we returned to NC. However, it was totally worth it to be able to do it all. We love everyone there and can't wait to return.
So after taking it all in I decided my favorite trip was to Washington D.C. I honestly wish I could go there once a year. It is so breathtaking and full of life. We got to ride the Metro rail for the first time...it's actually kind of fun as long as it isn't packed. We got to see so many important monuments and documents that we've always dreamed of seeing. We got to just spend quality time together day after day after day. It was phenomenal.
Here's to a little more traveling in 2010!

Kayla and her husband Zach
Joe and Me all doozied up
Two of the guys, making up a little dance routine.
They have an amazing guest room that is beautifully set up and decorated. They also have a guest book to sign, date, and write an entry about your visit. I adored this idea. I was excited to be the first FRIEND to write in it. I've been at that house a million times so it was weird to be official house guests.
Joe getting him dressed warm for our trip to the beach. It was actually pretty chilly there that weekend.
The five of us had a very relaxing walk on the beach. It was pretty perfect because we felt pretty stuffed from all of the food. By the way, she cooked EVERYTHING since we had to travel 5 hours to get there. She is amazing and I cannot be more thankful to have her in my life.
I found this at a store near our new place. My friend Kayla convinced me to buy some. It's chocolate wine called CHOCOVINE. It's chocolate and red wine mixed. It tastes kind of like a white russian.Very thick and you can't take in too much....but good.
CHEERS!
