All Over The Map

I started this morning with a long to-do list, intent on running through it like a boss. But here it is, almost 9 o'clock, and I've had to resign myself to the fact that tomorrow's list might look a little bit like today's. We're in the last week of the April A-Z Blog Challenge and I don't want to miss the end. Question for you-why are the last six letters of the alphabet such oddballs?

Another question for you-will this be the year we finally master the selfie? 

Not so far. 

We had a nice weekend with gorgeous weather, and since the pollen is mostly down we took our boat out for the first ride of the season. We discovered a plug needs replacing so hopefully that can happen tomorrow. 

It's always something when you own a boat. Or a house. Or a car, but I digress. 

Day 21-U is for Unexplored 

I like to go places I've never been. That might be a country, a city, or a new-to-us path through the woods. I get excited about a car trip where I know we'll be on roads we've never traveled, and unless we have a set arrival time we are all about stopping at whatever interesting, quirky, out-of-the-way spot catches our eye. We especially love to see a mom and pop restaurant with lots of cars in the lot that tells us this is where the locals eat. fyi-they almost always have pie. 

I know people who vacation in the same spot every single year. I understand the appeal, but that could never be me. How will I see the world if I always stick to the same four corners? 

My list of unexplored places I still need to explore is long, but near the top are-

The Grand Tetons
Banff-Lake Louise
Ireland

What's on your list? 
Any plans to explore the unexplored?

  2. If they ever let people like me back into Canada I'd love to see Banff and Lake Louise. It's only a 7 hour drive from my home. Ireland would be wonderful to visit, too.

  3. I always wanted to go to Ireland because my maiden name is Kelly. I thought I was mostly Irish. Then came Ancestry DNA. I am 2% Irish. What?!! I am 52% Scottish, 34% British, and 9% Scandinavian. So now I want to go to Scotland. But I will most likely not make it now. I do love road trips though and agree about exploring new places. Joe and I called it 'going on an adventure'. Always fun!
