52 Lists-- List #9; The Places You Want to Go

This week's list: the places you want to go had me so excited!  I love to travel and it's just not something I get to do nearly enough.  I knew this would be such an easy list to write but I'll warn you now... it's going to be a long one!  

I have had the opportunity to visit many places in my life and most of them I'd visit again in a heartbeat.  There are still many more places I'd love to go that I have never been.  



This list is a combination of the two!  Places I want to revisit and places I'd love to visit for the first time.   Here they are in no particular order:

Hawaii-- any and all the islands
Alaska
England
Ireland
Walt Disney World
Disneyland                                                                     
Niagara Falls                                                                       
Quebec, Canada                                         
Rome
St. Thomas
Myrtle Beach
Wisconsin Dells
Atlantis Resort
Bermuda
Australia
Black Hills of North Dakota to see Mount Rushmore
Virginia Beach
Loire Valley, France
Tampa, Florida
San Diego, California

Anyplace I can see the Northern Lights

      We went to Hershey once when our kids were real little but we keep trying to make plans to get back there. Oregon I mostly just yearn to see from reading some of my favorite books.

    The Outer Banks is our favorite vacation destination for sure! I have not been to many of the places on your list. Some day we'll reach our debt free goal and can dream of the places we want to see!

      We have family in Wilmington so if we get to North Carolina we typically go there; never been to the outer banks but we've heard it's really nice. If only that whole money thing didn't get in the way we'd travel often. As it is it's been a few years since we've been anywhere!

    So many nice place choices!! I've been blessed to get to go to most of these places, but a lot of them I went to when I was small (2 yrs -5 yrs) so I don't really remember them much. I'd like to go back to a lot of them and re-visit so that I can take it all in..again.

    Blessings,
    B

      Wow! That is a blessing! Good for you! I traveled with my grandparents a lot as a kid and I think that's where I got the travel bug from.

    Hi! I love that most of your places are warm - those are definitely my type of vacation spots! I've heard a lot of good things about Thailand and I'd love to go there. Hawaii, St. Thomas, Italy, and Greece are on my list too.

      Living in New England in winter often has me dreaming of warm places. I think I was meant to live life in flip flops and not boots.

    Never thought of Bora Bora before...I'll have to do a little research on that destination. #thisishowweroll

      I am not sure about ALL of Bora Bora but I know that they have at least one resort with little huts that are right out ON the ocean (not on the beach)... they're connected by little wooden walkways and it just looks amazingly simple and relaxing.

      I LOVED this week's topic; it was SO MUCH fun! I find that most any trip leaves a lasting impression and I think that's why I really wish we could travel more often.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
