July 2015 Wishlist

This month’s wishlist is a bit different. Every year my family and I try to visit some place different. Last year was a difficult year between the two moves and some health related issues (which mostly turned out to be nothing, thank God). So we didn’t get to take our yearly mini-vacation. We want to make up for it this year.
1. Let’s start with a trip back home. Not exactly MY home, but my husband and our son’s home. My husband and son were both born in New Jersey. I was born in Rhode Island in case y’all were wondering. I do consider Jersey to be home because it was the first place I ever truly felt at home. And well, it’s where I started my life/started a family. Anyway, we’ve been living in Illinois for about 6 years now. We’ve been wanting to visit back home for a while, but never really had the chance to make it back there. This just might be the year we finally make it back home!
2. Ah New York! NYC is one of my favorite cities! When we lived in Jersey we lived so close to NYC that we’d visit a few times a year. Those were some of the best times I’ve ever had. There’s nothing like taking a nice long stroll through Central Park with my guys and a nice cup of coffee in hand. I sort of feel like I’m cheating by adding this to the list since it’s only a 20 minute drive from Jersey, but hey, it IS a different state.
3. Louisiana has been on my list of places to visit for a while. I’d love to visit New Orleans! I’m part French and can’t make beignets (not perfectly anyway) and I hear New Orleans is the place to go for that sort of thing. But all jokes aside, it looks like a lovely city and I can’t wait to take it all in.
4. My husband really wants to visit Kansas City, Missouri and I really want to go to Kansas. Mostly so that I can take a picture of a random farm and say that I’ve been to Kent Farm. I’m a HUGE Superman/Smallville fan! *shrug* This way we both get what we want. And this trip is more doable as it’s only a 5 hour drive away.
One of my life goals is to visit every US state and collect a post card for my scrapbook. I have to revisit a few states because I wasn’t thinking about the whole scrapbook thing and ended up getting magnets and shot glasses. I’ll be better prepared this time.
