Only 5?!
Earlier today, Lyle and I were commiserating about how we don’t have a chance to travel these days as much as we would like. Then I came across this meme and had to count to see how many places we had visited. I counted 20, with a couple of maybes and a few still on my “bucket list.” I decided to post it here so I could link up to blog posts about some of our trips.
I could add quite a few more places of interest to this list, both sights worth seeing that we have been to, and others I still hope to visit sometime. How many have you been to?
