Travel Bucket List



I was just perusing one of my favorite blogs...and it was all about the Travel Bucket List. It got me thinking about the places I've been and the places I'd like to go. I don't really think of myself as a world traveler, but it was fun to write down all the places I've been and it made me realize that I have been to quite a few beautiful places and experienced some pretty cool things in my 48 years. I feel blessed to have traveled to 12 of the 50 states and to a few places outside the US. I would love to make it to at least half the states before I die and travel to some other faraway places.
