Show and Tell Tuesday: Travelouges

Today is Show and Tell Tuesday with Andrea! I haven't been able to link-up the last couple of times but I was prepared today! The topic is Travelogues - show and tell us about your best and worst trips.

Dan and I admittedly do not travel very much. Neither of us have been outside of the country (except to Mexico which we don't really count). We are homebodies and we have limited vacation time. Also, when you opt to live away from family, you compromise that distance by using your vacation time to travel to visit family as opposed to fly around the world. We're cool with that. After all, we live in New York City so we've got plenty of culture right outside our door.

Anyways, besides our annual trips to Kansas and Colorado (or Chicago) we typically take two shorter weekend trips a year. One bus trip in the spring to someplace along the east coast. And one car (rent or borrow) trip to a beach along the Jersey shore for our anniversary.

For our spring trips we've been to Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and most recently our babymoon to Boston.

Our best spring trip was probably our trip to Philadelphia in 2015. We had great weather and since I was somewhat familiar with the city we knew where to go and what to see. Plus, cheesesteaks. That is all. We had a lot of fun.

Our worst spring trip was probably our trip to Boston last weekend. It wasn't bad but if I had to rank them, it would fall to the bottom. We had crummy weather and all the walking was hard on my aching pregnant body. But still, a fun trip.

For our anniversary beach trips we've been to Cape May for our homey-moon, Wildwood, and Atlantic City.

Atlantic City

My favorite was Cape May. We had just gotten over that crazy wedding hump and we were in that honeymoon haze and it was the real taste of summer we had missed out on that year due to the wedding planning. It was after Labor Day so not super crowded and we had a blast.

Wildwood is a close second because we stayed at an awesome bed and breakfast and had so much summer fun.

My least favorite anniversary trip was Atlantic City this past summer. We enjoyed our time but AC is just a dying city and rather depressing. We also got skunked for weather with an incoming tropical storm cutting our second day.

I'm not sure we will be able to do an anniversary beach trip this summer since we will have a newborn at that point and, yeah, not gonna happen. But next year!
