Vacation!

I love vacation! As a kid I think my parents spoiled me with vacation every year across the country and across the world as a senior present. Now that I'm married and John has a job we have to be careful about taking days off and of course spending money.

Especially this year with a baby on the way, buying a house, doing a yard and so forth we couldn't afford to take a real vacation. Thankfully, John's parents took us up to Yellowstone for a long weekend, and we are going to attempt to finish the summer with a night at Park City which will be fun. We also took a trip to Las Vegas, but it was for a funeral so I don't think that counts.

But in discussing our vacation plans for the future these are our current top three vacations in the plans! 

#1 Alaskan Cruise

This is John's dream vacation that we are actually going to shoot for next summer/fall. I don't really understand going to a winter wonderland during the summer, but I did love the cruise we took for our honeymoon so I assume it will be a blast! Hopefully we don't have very many unexpected expenses next year so we can go!

#2 Hawaii

Thanks to my amazing Grandpa Smith I've been to Hawaii a couple times but poor John has never been able to go. So my dream is to take him to paradise some day. We are going to try and hit this vacation in a couple years.

#3 Brazil

John spent two years in Brazil on his mission and has always wanted to take me there. After hearing some of his stories I'm a little nervous, but he assures me we won't spend time in his mission area. We wouldn't want to take our kids here so it is going to be a while until we get down there, but I know it will be a blast when do make it.

So what are some vacations you would love to take?
