Travel Log

James and I enjoy traveling and we always have lots of fun on our trips. Sometimes it feels like I’m pulling teeth to convince James to spend money for a trip, even a short one, but it is hard to change  the mindset of someone who grew up traveling infrequently and when they did travel it was often to the same place.

One of my goals for us is to visit every state in the union and do something fun (a layover at an airport doesn’t count). I decided I would create a log of our travels to help us decide where  we should travel to next. Now, some of you might look at this list and think it is incomplete and it would be for me if you count all the traveling I did growing up. However, I’m only using this log for trips James and I have taken together.

If you would like more details about any of our trips, click on the links to the posts about said trip or shoot me a question.
