this world that we live in is brimming with wonderful places to discover, to learn from, and to love. places that you always wanted to see and places that you never knew you wanted to go to; places across the ocean and in our backyards. call it a severe case of wanderlust, but i want to see them all. and then take a million pictures and write down everything.
i was born on a thursday – they say that “thursday’s child has far to go,” and my mom has called me her thursday’s child since i was a little girl, acutely aware that i had the travel bug, the itch to see the world, even back then. what can i say? i’m the daughter of a pilot and a former travel agent, so it’s no wonder where i got that from! i wasn’t even 10 days old when i went on my first flight, and i was lucky to have the opportunity to discover many cities across the country and even outside of the U.S. throughout my childhood.
because i have always kept pretty detailed travel journals [which i will keep and cherish forever] and because i always take boatloads of photos, there are multitudes of travel-related posts that i could potentially write, and hopefully i will get around to them at one point or another. in addition, i’m also planning to compile a dallas [or dfw] travel guide on this blog one of these days. although there’s still so much that i haven’t explored, i think i could come up with a pretty sweet list of places to visit in the area. it would be a start, at least.
here is my archive of “places” posts – while they are not necessarily guides to the city, i talk about the places we saw, ate at, and/or visited and often include links and photos:
