Thirteen places I have visited in the past few years.
1. Grenoble, France. I studied abroad in France during the summer of 2005 and it was a great experience. I lived with a French family in Grenoble, a city surrounded by the French Alps.
2. Nice, France. Gorgeous (but rocky) beaches. A friend and I went parasailing and it was so much fun!
3. Geneva, Switzerland. Grenoble was only an hour or two from Switzerland and I was able to visit Geneva a few times. It’s a nice city with lots of banks and watches. J
4. Rome, Italy. Rome is such a cool city – I would love to go back! There is so much to see and do, and every building has a unique history.
5. London, England. London is also a city I would like to visit again. It has a really nice atmosphere, and there’s a lot to do in the heart of the city as well as in the surrounding country.
6. Vero Beach, Florida. Florida is not quite as exciting as Europe, but I try and go each winter to visit my grandparents who migrate there for the colder months.
7. Aruba. Bryan and I went to Aruba for a very relaxing honeymoon! It was beautiful but HOT (90+ degrees every day, minimum 85 at night). Did you know Aruba is a desert island? The next Caribbean island we visit will be nice and tropical.
8. San Jose, California. We visited California in October 2008 and went on a tech tour through the Silicon Valley, stopping at places such as HP and AOL. This picture is pre-tour at Stanford University. It’s a really nice campus.
9. San Francisco, California. San Francisco is also a fun city. We walked along the Golden Gate Bridge, visited Fisherman’s Warf, and saw the sights of China Town.
10. Chicago, Illinois. Bryan and I visited Chicago this past weekend for a mini-vacation.
11. Grand Bend, Canada. The Pinery is a really nice campground. A little raccoon came in for a visit one afternoon.
12. Toronto, Canada. Back in my Brand New days Bryan and I took a weekend trip to Toronto to see a concert. We had fun and hope to go back soon and stop at Niagara Falls on the way!
13. Grand Haven, Michigan. We went to Grand Haven while visiting his parents last summer and saw a wonderful sun set! J
