If I Could Wake Up Anywhere: EUROPE EDITION
Continuing on in the fun from yesterday,
is the second installment of the game we like to play called:
"If I Could Wake Up Anywhere..."
These {terribly awesome} bloggers all picked European destinations,
and if you've read this blog for more than one day...
you'll know that makes them pretty cool in my book.
When I read each of the first response,
I would nod my head in agreement...
'Yup. They picked it. That IS the best place in the world.'
And I did the same as I got the next one...
and the next one.
All of these are gorgeous settings
that I'm sure any sane person would be thrilled to find themselves.
Enough with me typing babbling,
let's get to good part: the other bloggers.
I would be alongside the coast of Spain, with my husband, and our babies.
We would cross the t's and dot our i's of our extended weekend stay
by indulging in the food and drink of the Spanish culture surrounding us.
I would make sure and connect with my family roots and hunt down any relatives.
For an added element of fun, my ten brothers and sisters would drop in for a surprise party,
and we would of course, dance the night away...
My fiance "H" and I have a travel wishlist of places we'd like to visit before we start makin babies.
No 1 on my list? Mykonos, Greece!!!
Despite all that unrest in Greece,
I can't help but to dream of SUNSHINE, beaches,
small winding streets lined with bright white stone buildings
and electric blue dome tops.
i could eat my weight in meat-on-a-stick, feta cheese, pita bread and tzataiki sauce.
So H, please take note...
and let's make this trip happen.
I've been obsessed with all things British for as long as I can remember.
From my obsessive need to watch every movie Hugh Grant is in
to having a daily tea and digestives break
I adore all things from across the pond!
Now more than ever I desire to wake up in London
because my youngest sister has been studying abroad there since September
and she won't be home until next year.
The little sneak is also trying to find a job there
so her time their may be even more permanent
Ah I'm totally going to have to call the Queen
and tell her to kick my darling sister out of the country.
For the time being though I would enjoy a trip abroad to visit her
and get to say, "Hey kids, Big Ben.... Parliament.
When I had my adventure in Scotland last summer,
I had no map, no plan, and no idea that The Kingdom of Fife existed.
I love Scotland, I love the ocean,
and I love the thought of waking up to a beautiful horse nibbling on grass near a bridge...
so naturally I have to go back and visit (or live).
I day dream about Fife more than the places I actually visited
so that obviously means we are kindred spirits.
No this is not a tropical escape,
this is the most pure, refreshing, and crisp air, swiss chocolates,
the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen {hello, Swiss Alps!},
a beautiful lakefront, and charming architecture that makes you feel like home.
I was fortunate enough to visit this magical place in November 2011,
and words can't describe my love for this sleepy little town.
If I could wake up and escape reality for a day,
I would love to sit on the beautiful lakeshore,
outside of Mr. Pickwicks Pub
and gaze at the Chapel Bridge with a beer + my favorite people.
Life would be good!

The final round of bloggers will be here tomorrow...
and their destinations?
Well, let's just say they are off the beaten path.
In the meantime,
