This time last year - Scott and I were headed to Kauai. We have been to Hawaii 3 times in our 5 years of marriage - we LOVE it. It may be a while until we go again and today I'm just dreaming of hawaii. (We went to Kauai twice and Maui on our honeymoon. I've also been to Oahu with my family).
The view from our hotel room - we slept with the windows open and it was cool and the ocean would crash all night. I think I'm ESPECIALLY dreaming of how much wonderful sleep I got on those vacations (since right now I'm getting 4-5 interrupted sleep hours) ha!
It is just the most beautiful place !
This was Mother's Day morning last year - I saw the most beautiful rainbow. I just KNEW it was God reminding me of His promise (I knew I was pregnant). I love this picture because I just remember how deliriously happy I was that day!
I'm day dreaming of the beach today. We are planning to go to one of my other favorite places in September - Gulf Shores, Alabama. :-) We want to show Harper the Ocean.It seems like right now every single person I know is either going to Disney world just this moment, going this summer, or just went for spring break. I'm sure we'll have to start saving up to take Harper one of these days!
What is your most favorite vacation you have ever been on?????

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 222 of 222 Newer› Newest»Eight years ago, my husband, my three girls (then 9, 13, and 16) and I went on a three week vacation. We made a stop in Galveston, San Antonio, Carlsbad, Albuquerque (sp?) THE GRAND CANYON, Sedona, and Colorado Springs. We headed back to LA through Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texarkana. The Grand Canyon, Sedona, and Colorado were my favorite stops. The Grand Canyon topped them ALL!
Disney World in 2004 ranks a close second, but if I could only do one of them again, I would pick the Canyon. It was breathtaking!
Awesome photos. You are so beautiful! I have never been to Hawaii, but it seems soooo gorgeous! Let's see...my favorite place to vacation...Boca Raton, Fl. It was a wonderful trip with my hubby. We did do Disney with the girls and that was a ton a fun too just not relaxing at all.

(looking forward to house tours tomorrow!!!!....got pics of my living room all ready to go)
I too LOVE Gulf SHORES ALABAMA! We go almost every year, We're actually planning to go this September! Would't it be cool to run into you 3. The water is still warm and the beach is a lot more bare because all the families with kids are back home in school. Just lovely.
I am laughing out loud as I am reading your post. I even read it to my husband. I feel the exact same way today. We too have been to Hawaii three times...are going to Gulf Shores in July (we stay at the Beach Club...what about you?)....and my sister left for Disney today. We went to Disney in December but I still am longing to go back. Too funny, huh?
Hawaii would definitely be a dream vacation! I am a Disney World lover but I've never really been on "vacation" there. I worked there for 4 1/2 months in college, and so when I go it seems more like visiting. I think my favorite vacation was our honeymoon last year. We went to a lake that I visited as a child and it was awesome! Lake front view, quiet, and nothing to do but sit around in the sun! Now that's a good vacation!
My favorite vacation was my honeymoon to Alaska. We took the Alaskan railroad through the mountains. It was awesome ! God blessed us with the first seat on the train so we had a ceiling to floor glass view straight in front of us. People asked us who we paid to get those seats. My husband and I would smile and say
"It is just God's blessings"
Loved the photo's of Hawaii. Well have to journey there one day.
Blessings,
Maryellen
We are very fortunate as my parents live on Maui- so we go once or twice a year. We will be there in 3 weeks-. I will walk in the sand for Harper.
When I was going thru chemo last year, my husband said he would take me anywhere I wanted when I was done. I have always dreamed of going to the Outer Banks, so that's where we went and it was all I ever dreamed it would be.
My FAVORITE vacation was about 4 years ago.. my husband and I went to Ireland and England for 10 days. We flew into London and hit the ground running. We did everything you could do in 2 days before we had to leave for Ireland. Once in Ireland, we rented a car and traveled coast to coast. Never give a Texan a rental car and tell them to bring it back empty! We put over 1200 miles on the car for the 8 days we had it! Ireland is the most beautiful, welcoming, country to visit and I'm hopeful to return one day.
Can I please ask where you stayed at Kauai? My hubby and I dream of going there one day and your pictures are just goregous!
I can see by the other 200+ comments that you're not hurting for readers and comments, but I just wanted to tell you that I think you're really beautiful inside and out.
I've been dreaming about the beach these days too! I went to Greece a year ago and give anything to be back there now. Santorini is my favorite place on earth! Read about it or see links to my pics here..... http://suzinnewyork.blogspot.com/2008/06/santorini.html
I have been reading your blog for awhile, but I think this may be my first comment!
We are heading to Disney in just a week! Yes, it seems like everyone we know either just went or is going soon. I'm not sure why it is so popular this year (esp. w/ the economy). I don't remember so many of our friends going any other year!
As far as REAL vacations, we have been to the Bahamas, the Mayan Riviera and Punta Cana. Punta Cana was by far my favorite. The sand, water and resort were amazing. Hawaii is on our list, but without the kids!
This post has BEAUTIFUL pictures. My favorite part was when you said you were going to Gulf Shores!!! I live really close to there...we go all the time!!! My favorite place to stay is actually in Orange Beach which is just east of Gulf Shores.( Between gulf shores and pensacola, fl.) It's Phoniex On the Bay... It's not directly on the beach but it's on the bay. It's WONDERFUL!!! They have a great swimming pool, slide, and lazy river!! My parents rented a condo there for the entire month of September last year. My boys were 4& 18months and it was PERFECT for us. It's only a five minute drive to the "big beach" as my 4 year old would say!
It's great that you are coming this way! Let me know if you need to know about the good places to eat or shop!!! I've lived here my whole life... can tell you all about that place. (By the way... that's my favorite place to vacation!!!)
Email me anytime! laurawhite@bellsouth.net
God Bless... And HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!
Definitely Hawaii and Cabo! We've been to Hawaii many times and I can't get enough. I love the beautiful pictures. We were in Hawaii last year on our babymoon as well :)
My husband and I went to Hawaii on our honeymoon and it was INCREDIBLE!! So, so absolutely beautiful :).
Well I am lucky enough to be living in my fav holiday place... Maui! I am really from Australia but have moved here for my husbands job! I also loved princeville too! The best! my blog is www.buttonbythebeach.blogspot.com if you wanna check it out! Though I am sure you have enough to look at!
I love Hawaii, I must get back there some day! I went to Paris for my birthday last year and that was an amazing vacation. Gotta get back there too! :)
My favorite vacation was the one we just took over Christmas. It was my 5th trip to Hawaii and my 1st to the Big Island. Carleigh was still with me then and it'll be the only one. It's one I will treasure always.
I'm not sure that I can name a single favorite... and will give a couple :)! If I had to pick just one, it would be our Great Barrier Reef honeymoon. We stayed in 3 different resorts during our HM, one called Silky Oaks Lodge in the Daintree Rainforest which was beautiful... I think our favorite Honeymoon stop was Bedarra Island... very exclusive island with only 16 villas on the entire island and you can only get there by boat via dunk island. I love Hawaii too... I stayed for a week with some friends at Randy Travis' house in Maui during my younger years (I'd like to go back with my husband who's never been to HI!). For a family vacation, we love the Disney Cruise with our 2 little girls - they have great kids clubs! One of my work "winners circle" trips was at the Gran Hotel Bahia del Duque Resort on Tenerife Island in Spain - one of the best resorts I've ever been too (Sydney was 2 months old when we went to Spain and she was an angel for the long flight). For work I've traveled to ~30 countries... my favorite work-trip with a weekend vacation was the island of Langkawi in Malaysia, It was simple and beautiful! Sorry for the crazy long post.. if you can't tell.. travel/family vacations are one of my favorite pass-times and a hobby!! Enjoy your vacation in September!! My boss goes to Gulf Shores and loves it down there!
I SOOOO remember looking at these pics and "living through you" on this beautiful trip! I would LOVE to go to Hawaii someday...one of my dream vacations!
Disney World is my favorite place in the world. Literally. I have tips when you decide to take Harper!
