I have the travel bug itch. You know- that itch that can only be scratched by jumping in the car for a long ride or hopping a plane ride to somewhere far away and different than what your used to.I think this was all spurred by flipping through the photos of the trips we have taken over the years mixed with photos of all different resorts and beautiful places on StumbleUpon<\/a>. There’s just something about getting out of your norm and seeing other parts of the world and experiencing different cultures and environments.  It’s refreshing and grounding.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick recap of some of the amazing places we have been:<\/p>\n

All this has me on the search for the next place to visit.  With gas prices being so high and money being a bit tighter it\u2019s likely to be a more local trip in the great state of Michigan (although I\u2019m dying to go to Australia, Costa Rica and St. Lucia). I\u2019d love to visit the west coast of the state since I\u2019ve never really explored that area, or maybe a wine tasting trip to beautiful Traverse City.<\/p>\n

Are you traveling the summer? Are you staying in state, visiting other states or even heading out of the country? What was the best vacation that you had?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
