Leaving On A Jet Plane....

In less than 72 hour I will be out of state.  I am excited, to say the least, about this little adventure that I will take with our daughter.  I LOVE to travel.  I love to travel just about anywhere!  Even going on a mini vacation to somewhere an hour or two away is a treat and I get excited about it!  If life permitted, I would travel constantly.  I would write travel articles for families and such.  I would wander aimlessly.  My soul loves a little, or big, journey.  I honestly feel peaceful when I am wandering.  I think that some day(when the kids have grown) I will pack my bags, load up my car, and just drive for a couple of weeks and see where the road and my soul take me.  At any rate.  In just over 48 hours, my daughter and I will be leaving the boys behind for 6 days and flying to visit my sister, her husband, and my dad.  It is going to be a much needed trip.  It is also a much looked forward to trip.  So, with this little adventure upon me and my summer trip less than 6 months away, I have been thinking that it is time to invest in some new luggage.  Being as I LOVE purple, I found this great American Flyer set that I just adore. I am going to have to track it down for our summer trip to the Outer Banks.

I have also been thinking it is time to get our daughter a proper suitcase.  I found these cute cases on Pottery Barn Kids website.  I always like luggage that is a little "unique".  1)Because it's cute and 2)it makes it much easier to find on the luggage belt in baggage claim!  PBKids is also great as they are one of the companies that will embroider names on the luggage!  I am really looking forward to taking trips with our daughter.  I love traveling with our son as well, but I think girls/female types just get along a bit better while on the road/air/train/boat.  I have so many places that I want to go with my children.  I know some will happen while other will only be dreams.  But, here's a few of the places I would love to travel to with our children, either soon or when they are grown.

*Backpacking through Europe for 1 to 2 months
*On a biking/hiking trip through Croatia
*Maui, Hawaii
*The coasts of Northern California and Oregon
*Costa Rica

I could go on and on, but I think these are some of my top choices right now.  Travel on and enjoy the journey!
