1. Kansas City, MO // Every time Ben and I drive out west we pass through Kansas City and mention how fun it would be to stop and explore. With a cousin now living there (moved just a few days ago!), I'd love to make the 3 1/2 hour drive to see historic church sites, eat good BBQ, and do some shopping downtown.
2. New York City, NY // Some of our friends moved to NYC last year, and we've been dying to go visit them for a few days! While there I would be ecstatic to see Times Square again, visit the new(ish) 9/11 memorial, and eat a Levain Bakery cookie. (Repeat from last year.)
3. Indianapolis, IN // Ben has an aunt and uncle that live in Indianapolis and with it only being a 4 hour drive away, it sounds like a fun weekend trip! The Civil War museum, Cajun/Creole food at Yats, and a walk along Central Canal are calling my name. (Repeat from last year.)
4. St. George, UT // When I think of a fun and relaxing destination, I think of St. George! I'd love to go with family this year and check out Zions National Park, get a juicy steak at Anasazi Grill, and see an outdoor play at the Tuacahn.
5. San Diego, CA // After going east for our "big" vacation last year, I feel like we need to go west this year to balance things out. ;) I've spent hardly any time in San Diego and have heard lots of good things about it from friends. It would be fun to check out La Jolla Cove, find some authentic Mexican food, and see the Mormon Battalion Historic Site.
Where are you hoping to travel to this year?
We are in Des Moines, and we love KC. It has been one of my favorite places to go. All the church sites were so amazing, but the town itself is great!
ReplyDeleteAlso, sorry to comment on my own comment haha but I just remembered this- if you like Indian food. They have one of the best Indian Restaurants I've ever been too that isn't too far from the temple.
DeleteSo great to hear! I'm determined to make it to KC this year. :) I actually just tried Indian food for the first time last year and definitely need to experience more Indian restaurants!
DeleteTravel is always a good idea and KC has a phenomenal art museum! Wherever you go be sure to scout out a few murals along the way. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, I had no clue their art museum was worth checking out. Too fun!
