Travel: Beautiful Places & Spaces
 
I didn't really see a category for travel here, so I made a place where people might want to share about places they have been to - or have yet to visit!

I haven't traveled much outside the US - I did spend a vacation in Kuai once; it was incredibly beautiful there! And, I've lived in various places on either coast (east or west) or even visited states in the US where the geography of the region takes your breath away!


I'm leaving this photo tonight because I often dream about visiting England and I found this beautiful lake! It's dreamy, yes? Maybe someday, I will travel to England and see all the beautiful architecture in various places and see serene spaces, such as below!

Big Sur
 
You can't go wrong visiting Big Sur on the California Coastline. I took my sweetheart there for her birthday last year and had a beautiful suite overlooking the cliffs and the ocean. It is an amazing place!

Provincetown is also a great place to go! If you have never been, it is definately worth planning a trip to go. I've been twice and we are going again very soon for our wedding! I'm looking forward to going there again.

And finally, one of my favorite places to go is the Smokey Mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I've been more times than I can count and I'm hoping to get a trip together for us in the not so distant future. I could visit those mountains every year and never get tired of them!

Happy Travels everyone!

The French Alps are certainly a place I would love to see first hand!

Definately - about the Big Sur area! I've been there on many ocassion - truly spectacular! I think the closest I ever got to the Smokey Mtn's was when I was very little and we went to see relatives in Arkansas - the Ozarks - I remember seeing a passion play there. Truly beautiful!

After my first summer session class is finished this week, I'm going to the coast for much needed down time (second session starts next week).

Oregon has such a beautiful coastline that I thought I would share a few photos (that I have found online) here...

Northern coastline
(Cannon Beach - Haystack Rock)

You've been to some beautiful places! Let's see... I've been to parts of Yellowstone (Jackson Hole and the Tetons), Yosemite (the redwoods are so beautiful), Niagara Falls (years ago) and to the Grand Canyon - when I was a little girl but I don't remember much of it at all. My mother once lived in Roswell, NM when she was a young girl (past President Dwight D. Eisenhower visited her high school) - I've never been to New Mexico but I hear there's lots to see there - like the caverns that you mention!

I'm thinking that your trip to Scotland, Mexico and Kashmir were delightful!
Thanks for sharing Popcorninthesofa!

Spain is where Daddy and I want to retire to though, our dream is to open a B&B in spain with a potential dungeon space. We have been looking at ruins to refurbish and build the perfect getaway space.

The photo below is tagged as the Boreal Forest in Canada....

It's almost pillow time for me and I think I will dream about camping out in the wilderness in the red tent and taking in all the beauty of the Northern Lights... and of course, watching for beautiful constellations of stars!!!
