Favorite Things: Vacation's all I ever Wanted Edition

Lately I've had traveling on the brain. I have been blessed to have traveled all over the world. I have seen and lived cultures ranging from the slums of Honduras to the spotless streets of Salzburg, and numerous in-between. I have several favorites for several reasons, here they are: (in no particular order)


Bluffton, South Carolina

We honeymooned at The Inn at Palmetto Bluff. It was charming and has become my mental  
happy place.

Manhattan, New York
The greatest city in the world. There's just no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Chicago, Illinois 

Chicago is like New York on a Xanax. A little calmer, nicer, and less stressed. 

Prague, Czech Republic 

Prague is by far my favorite European city. It is beautiful and unpretentious. (This photo of me and my s-i-l is circa 2007, enjoy.)

Paris, France
C'est magnifique. Je préfère la ville dans la nuit!

So obviously there are some pretty major cities in my travels that are absent from this list. Jelgava, Riga, New Orleans, and Washington D.C. you are, soon will be, or feel more like home.
