I have declared 2015 the year that Graham and I take to embark on new adventures. 2014 was all about planning for the future, and I’m ready to start living out those plans.
As I have written about before, my goal is to travel outside of the country as well as to one state I haven’t been to before. We plan to visit Nashville on the same trip we take to Louisville, during which we’ll visit family and friends and I’ll run my marathon. (Yikes!) We might even get to go to the Kentucky Derby! That should check half that resolution off the list. It would be an even bigger treat if Graham and I could make it to Seattle and Vancouver this year as well. We figure it could easily be fit into one vacation. My travel goal would then be complete, though I’d also like to go to:
- Utah’s national parks, especially Arches and Zion. Utah is so close, yet so far away.
- Hawaii — always Hawaii.
- Chicago.
