I’m back today after a lovely week off, taking in the holidays and celebrating this time of year with family. Â I’m also finally over the horrible cold/flu I seemed to pick up, so I’m excited to get back into blogging and moving forward with 2014!
I’ll be getting back into my Scotland posts shortly and showing off all that we saw and did and fell in love with, but first, since it’s the end of the year, I always like to look back on where we traveled during the year. It helps me remember all the amazing lessons I learned, the beautiful places that made a mark on me and the places that taught me so many things.
This year we were very fortunate to do a lot of traveling, both near and far, including 3 trips to Europe and many trips to Hawaii for work. Â But we also managed to squeeze in places close to us, many up and down the West Coast, seeing new places and visiting old favorites.
It was a year full of adventure and many lessons learned and I’m so thankful for each and every place we visited and for the opportunities we were presented with this year.

I was going to say the same thing. I am soo jealous of all the places you traveled this year. There are a few places I have in mind. NYC could be a day trip for me so I could do that easily.
Casey Martin says
Oh my gosh, if you’re that close to NYC, totally make it a day trip! 🙂 Actually on the East Coast, there are so many amazing places in close proximity. That’s the thing with fantastic thing about travel and our world, there are amazing places close to home too 🙂
