Good morning!
Nicole and I just happen to LOVE to travel, and, well, we’ve been travel dreaming lately. So today’s blog post is dedicated to some of our can’t-wait-to-visit travel destinations! We actually have pretty exciting trips lined up for late July/early August and late September, but Nicole is a planner. She’s always working on the next trip…you know, the one we haven’t booked yet. So we’ve been discussing our options for our next travel destinations! Here are our top 5…(NOTE: None of these photos are ours! All were acquired from www.morguefile.com!)
Norway
My Grandfather was born and raised in Trondheim, Norway, which is enough for me to want to visit! But Norway also happens to be BEAUTIFUL!!! It has fjords, the Northern lights, and even ice hotels! As kids, our Dad always had us watch the video at the end of the ride at Disney’s version of Norway in EPCOT. At the time I didn’t appreciate the video, but now I see the absolute beauty of that country. Check it out and you’ll be quickly sold on a trip to Norway, too.
Alaska
The last frontier. Nicole and I actually were pretty close to moving to Alaska not too long ago…and depending on how hot it gets this summer we still may consider it! We also looked into getting married on a glacier in Alaska (which is something we would kill to photograph! hint, hint!). We know most people take an Alaskan cruise, but that isn’t really what we have planned for our dream Alaska trip. We really want to spend more time on land checking stuff out and grabbing pictures! Of course, we’ll have to fit in a short cruise to visit Glacier Bay!
Great Britain
This trip is really for pure selfish reasons as it is just for me to brush up on my English accent…well and if there’s time to make a stop by Wested Leather Company to pick up a jacket or two. (Wested Leather made the jackets worn by Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark!)
China
Do I really need to explain this one? I mean the Great Wall is visible from space…frickin’ space! Yeah, we need to see this in person.
The Outback
Oh, our beloved Australia, where Nicole refers to me as Drover, or just Hugh…by my request of course! We honeymooned in Australia, but that trip only took us to a small portion of this beautiful country. There is a train ride across the outback that we are dying to take!
These are just a few of the many places we hope to travel! We’d love to hear from you, so feel free to comment with a place you would love to visit! We’re always looking for new travel ideas! And, of course, more than just traveling to these places, we’d love to shoot weddings there, too! So, if you’re planning a destination wedding, we’d be glad to tag along!
Just so you’re aware, Mack and I had a conversation TODAY about needing to make a yearly travel schedule.
On our list were:
Photo Safari with the Bergs in NOLA
Two week driving tour of the British Isles (also, duh, make the Bergs come)
And, ya know, whenever you feel like going up to Alaska, we’re down for that, too. YAY!
