Oh The Places You'll Go

Summer means vacation for a lot of people. But not for this girl (at least until she brings in the moolah after getting a job!). So for mostly my pleasure, but maybe yours too, I've decided to bring you a list of my want-to-visit destinations: USA version, since, you know, I've never left this continent.

Wilmington, North Carolina

Seattle, Washington
space needle. the gum wall (totally didn't know this, but how much do you want to see this now?!). the original starbucks. pike place market. underground tour. voodoo donuts (okay, so this is in portland..).

Austin, Texas
esther's follies. congress avenue. paramount theatre. sixth street. austin city limits. stubb's bbq. gourdoughs.

Tishomingo, Oklahoma
hello, miranda and blakey. the pink pistol. ......yeah, that's about the only reason this is on the list.

Chicago, Illinois
i went here in 9th grade for a band/choir trip when i was 15 and the only pictures i have are from hanging out inside the hotel. because i was stupid. and because the only places we went were michigan avenue, the theatre where we watched phantom of the opera, and old country buffet. lame.

navy pier. sears tower. the art institute. michigan avenue. million dollar quartet. millenium park. lake michigan. wrigley field. buckingham fountain. crown fountain. soldier field. chicago-style pizza. portillos. nonna silvias (okay, so this is outside chicago, who cares). oh and this girl happens to live here and i think me + her could equal a blast.

Salt Lake City, Utah
mormon temples. tabernacle choir. olympic cauldron park.

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
dixie stampede. country tonite theater. titanic museum. old mill square. dollywood. dinner shows. smoky mountains.

Nashville, Tennessee
this is a given, since i talk about it all the time. everything.

Hope you enjoyed my trip around the country! Maybe you found something you want to do! Is there anything I've left out that I need to add??
