Road Trip 2014… Dream Stage




Well, it's February.  I've had 13 snow days, and the air is so cold it hurts my face.  So, what have I done all day?  Research possible vacation destinations, of course.

This year we will be going on vacation in early June, as I will be 7 months pregnant.  We've road tripped with me 7 months pregnant before.  The longest trip we've ever taken,  it was sandwiched between a wedding Tyler was in in St. Louis and my baby shower in Rockford, IL.  It was two and a half weeks long and we drove through Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois.  Good trip.  But, it was long and we drove through a whole lot of nothing to get anywhere cool.

This year is the first year in a while that I have no idea where we should go.  Colorado was an option, but we think the altitude will bother me.  I thought about Texas, but we would like somewhere that's not 125 degrees.  I keep going back and forth through several east coast options… Acadia National Park, Charleston, Michigan beaches… just to name a few.  

To help me make my decision I took an online quiz.  This quiz was supposed to match my personality with the perfect vacation destination.  Tyler took the quiz and it said Alaska.  I took the quiz and my top vacation destination was Branson, MO!!!!!  bah… very funny online quiz.  very. funny.

Needless to say, I love this part of the vacation.  The planning. The dreaming.  Endless possibilities with the open road.  It's almost as great as actually being on vacation.

If you have any thoughts on our destination, let me know.  I'm always up for adventure.
