A Place I Love

This is hard to choose. There are several, so you guessed it..... you're getting the lowdown on all of my favorite places.

• The Oregon Coast - Nothing calms me like a walk on the beach. I love collecting shells and rocks and the smell of the sea air. I have such fond memories of spending time here as a child and I can't wait to spend some time there with my kids.



• Walt Disney World - To any of you who know ANYTHING about me, this isn't a surprise. But it's not so much the activities there that I love, but the opportunity to escape the details of my everyday life and spend time with my family. We have so many memories of things we have done and experienced together in the Kingdom. It is truly the Happiest Place on Earth.





• Gettysburg, PA - For those of you who don't know, I am a nerd! My family and I really enjoy spending time learning about American History, and this place is like the Holy Grail of American History. We go at least every two years, and we have a trip planned in June. When I was taking classes to prepare for Erin's birth, the nurse told us to visualize a peaceful place. The hills of Pennsylvania entered into my mind. I love the mist over the battlefield in the early morning. Eating a hot dog at Texas Ernie's brings a smile to my face and ice cream at Friendly's is a fun time.



• Home Sweet Home - I love spending time at home with my family. I am really looking forward to some relaxing times this summer. I love to be in the backyard with the kids playing and the dogs running around. The smell of hamburgers on the grill and the smell of flowers.... can't beat it.
  
  Here's hoping for some good weather and dead mosquitos!
