From Sea to Shining Sea

There is nothing like living in a foreign country to make you appreciate the blessing and privilege of being able to call America “home”. Today we honor the men and women who willingly gave their lives in the service of our great country. Of course, it’s also a good opportunity to show our gratitude to those currently serving in the military and their families.

As Ryan and I were reflecting on this a couple days ago, we came up with a way to combine one of our favorite activities with a way to gain a greater appreciation for our country. We love to travel, and have several different countries in mind for our next big vacation. But over the next several years, we would like to take mini-vacations (weekend trips) to different cities across the US.

In accumulating our list, we did not include cities that we have already visited (such as Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Orlando, Washington DC, and New York City). Most of those are places we will definitely visit again, but would require a longer vacation than just a weekend. So far, the list contains the following cities:

Savannah

Baltimore

Philadelphia

Dallas

Providence

Chicago

New Orleans

Portland

Santa Fe

Phoenix

Salt Lake City

St. Louis

Jacksonville

Chattanooga

Santa Fe

Providence

Salt Lake City

Portland

Jacksonville


We hope to continue expanding our list, so let me know if you have any recommendations for us!
