Vacation Bucket list

Since my wonderful husband never went on a real vacation before we started dating, I thought it might be fun to create a vacation bucket list of places we'd like to go. Being someone who LOVES to travel I know I'll be the main one to make our list, but the important part will be that we go to these places together. I haven't fully ran this idea by him yet, but since I found out that he was planning on trying to surprise me with a vacation sometime in the near future, I'm pretty sure he'll like the idea. I don't have alot of places for our list yet, but I'm going to share them with you anyway. If you have any places you think we should add to the list please feel free to share. :)

1. Disneyworld- ok we can already mark this one off! Jamie and I already went there the 1st year we dated. In fact, we were there for my birthday AND we got engaged there!! But Disney is amazing, and its a place I know we both can't get enough of. Hopefully its a place we'll travel to once or twice with our kiddies (once we start a family that is!)

2. Discovery Cove

As long as our finances allow it...we will be going here for our 2 year anniversary next year!! I happened to come across Discovery Cove on Facebook through my newsfeed, and I automatically knew it was a place I HAD to go to. They have all kinds of sea and wildlife, you can chill in your own personal cabana while being served breakfast, lunch, and all the snacks you can eat, you also get to take a tour through the private aviary and feed the birds, go snorkeling, get a lesson with the trainers, a private photo shoot with two of the dolphins, AND....

swim with the dolphins!! This is something I have wanted to do for years!! The only slight downside...Jamie doesn't know how to swim. But we're staying positive that he can either learn before the trip, or that he can wear a lifevest and at least participate in the training and swimming with dolphins part of the day along with all the inland activities of course! I'll be excited if we can mark this off the list in Feburary next year!! :-)

3. New York City

Ok, anyone who knows me should know why I want to visit NYC...one word...Broadway!! As a singer/actress how could I not want to go to NYC and see at least one show on Broadway?! This trip might take a little convincing on Jamie though...he hates cities...and crowds!! But now that I've turned him into a Gleek maybe I can convince him we need to go and see the places they filmed during season 2 (and the last episode of 3).

4. Costa Rica

I have to be honest about something....I probably wouldn't have developed an interest in Costa Rica if it wasn't for the 1st season of Love In The Wild. But after getting to see different parts of Costa Rica, who wouldn't want to visit at least once? Jamie is all for this vacation...we both just have to get over our fear of flying!! This trip might also become a reality sometime this year or next if I get into the Life business and commit my time to it. (They send people on vacations once every 6 months for your 1st year and a half!)

5. Universal Studios

This has to be the next on our list as far as amusment parks! We are both amusement park nuts, and I couldn't think of a better place to go then Universal!! I've seen the rides...they look amazing! And now that they've added the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, how can we not make a trip?!

6. Australia

I've never been, but I have a feeling I'd LOVE the down under!! This is another trip Jamie and I would have to get over the fear of flying though. But I'd love to visit Sydney Harbor, and see kangaroos and koalas up close and personal.

7. Six Flags

This is another on the "must go's" for amusement parks. The closest one to us is Atlanta, making it a definite for us. :-)

8.Paris

Yet another place we'd have to fly but seeing the Eiffel tower in person would make it worth the journey!!

9. Hawaii- ok with this one we'd have two options as far as getting there. One we could fly (yawn) OR we could take a road trip through the US and end up in Cali then take a boat to the islands. So far I LOVE the sound of option 2!!

10. Last but not least, how could mention California without adding:

Disneyland!! They have different rides and attractions from Disneyworld, so it would definitely be worth the trip for us. And while in Cali, we could visit LA, see the Hollywood sign, travel down Santa Monica blvd, and visit San Francisco.

Any suggestions of more places for us to add?
