Wanderlust Wednesday: Grand Canyon and Beyond

3 Comments

Growing up in West Texas, I fell in love with the wide open spaces that the West is known for, which is one reason why I have major wanderlust for places near and far. Every summer, my family and I would travel through New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, and Wyoming to visit my grandparents.

My grandma and grandpa Howard lived in Idaho, and then in Wyoming, before retiring to Cleveland, Tenn. On one of our vacations, my parents bought me a souvenir […]

As I watched National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation last night, I was reminded how I used to drive my Grandma Lashlee and my mom around town looking at Christmas lights.

From left to right (top to bottom): Washington, D.C., Mexico City (Mexico), Rio de Janiero (Brazil), Nigeria, Gothenburg (Sweden), Venice (Italy), Munich (Germany), Sydney (Australia), and India.

Wanderlust Wednesday: Daytona Beach, Florida

No Comments

Florida has some beautiful beaches and great vacation destinations, one of those being Daytona Beach. Located on the Atlantic side of Florida, Daytona is the home of the Daytona International Speedway and plays host to Daytona Bike Week and the Daytona Turkey Run Car Show and Swap Meet. My husband and I recently vacationed in Daytona Beach for the Thanksgiving holidays. We actually left the Friday before and drove down, stopping in Albany for the night, before heading to the Moultrie (Ga.) Car Corral and Swap Meet on Saturday morning. We ended staying almost all day and purchasing a blue […]
