People say that life is short, but it's the longest thing that I have going on right now, so I tend to disagree. But it's got me thinking, about all the places that I'd love to see before I die. Because as amazing as everything is in my life, there's still places on this earth that I think would be amazing.
First thing? Go on a road trip. Colorado -to see the sights and visit one of my best friends. Montana -Glacier National Park, searching for places to one day live. Niagra Falls, West Arlington in Vermont, and hitting Tennessee before turning around -Nashville, the Horace Burgess Treehouse, everything. There's so much history in that state, and since most of it is music related and music is my favorite thing... you do the math! Seeing New Orleans, because at some point in my life I want to go to Mardi Gras. Make our way through Texas -The Hamilton Pool Nature Reserve, The Alamo, Auston, Huston, and everything else! Deer Creek Canyon in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park, and slowly make our way home. Just take a month off from everything and have the trip of a lifetime.
At some point in my life I'd like to take Route 66 -Probably something I'd do when I have kids, because you can learn alot from a trip like that!
Hawaii -I don't care how steritypical it is, I want to go. I've never been anywhere that's been considered even remotely tropical, I want to hike and surf and swim with dolphins and just have fun! Even if I have to go by myself.
Washington D.C. -I've been before, I've seen the Capitol and and the memorials, but there's so much rich living history that I feel like there's so much that I missed! I'd love to go again, it's such an expierience.
New York for the weekend-Robert Treman State Park in Ithaca, Broadway, Ellis Island, Grand Central Terminal, Central Park, Times Square, New York in the Fall, all of it.
Las Vegas, Nevada. Nuff' said.
L.A., California -Yes, I know, I've been there before. But doing actual normal L.A. things? Not so much. I would love to go back and really enjoy myself.
As for going out of the country, I have some other ideas:
Australia -Take two weeks with my hunny and see as much as we can: The great barrier reef, Sorrento Back beach, Kangaroo Island, See Newcastle, Go snorkeling, go on an outback road trip, the waterfalls, the opera house, possibly find P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney? I think yes.
Portugal -Because I'm half Portuguese and I think it would be phenominal to go back to a country of origin. The same with Ireland and Scotland! An overseas trip of these three places is something I would love to do at some point in my life. I don't care if I'm seventy five when I finally go, I just think it would be incredible.
Rome, Italy -Piazza Campidoglio designed by Michalangelo, The Piazza Novana -home to two spectacular fountains designed by Bernini AND the church of Sant’Agnese, The Piazza di Spagna -the location of one of the most famous landmarks in Rome; the spanish steps, the stairway leading up to the Trinità dei Monti church and featuring a lovely fountain by Bernini. To take a picture of the colossal Colosseum on the Oppian Hill across from the Ruins of Trajan's Baths. The Temple of Vesta, The Mouth of Truth, The Pantheon, Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, the MAXXI Museum. Yes, someday.
France -Paris. The Eiffel tower, the Orsay Museum, The Notre Dame Cathederal, the Catacombs of Prais, The Town Hall, Lovely. Not for a long time, but maybe in ten years just to fly over and see the city in a weekend, that would be amazing.
The French Polynesian Islands. -Beautiful. I want to stay in one of those little huts on the water, how perfect would that be? My dream honeymoon location. Probably won't happen, but at some point I would love to see this place, maybe when I visit Australia.
Who knows when or how all of this will happen, but God didn't put me on this earth to sit in one spot, that much I know. Don't let your life hold you back, encourage yourself to live it!
Love,
Alice
