2008
My New Years Resolutions for 2008 were to make 2008 The year of Travel, and to lose weight/work out regularly (original, I know).
I was successful in one of these, in 2008 I managed to travel a lot. I visited 11 places (New Orleans - twice, Frisco, San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boulder, Salt Lake City, Hartford, Mystic, Providence, New York City) in 8 states (Louisiana, Texas, New York, California, Utah, Colorado, Connecticut, Rhode Island). I managed to add two new states to my "visited" list (Connecticut and Rhode Island) and also made it to one international destination (San Pedro, Belize).
I loved every trip I took and love everybody I traveled with/visited dearly, but I think the highlights were (in no particular order):
Frisco - it's not so much the place I enjoyed, but I had my first Parrothead tailgate/concert experience there and it was AMAZING.
New York - this vacation could not have been more fun, and I could not have had better company than two of my best friends from college, Jo and Ally. The 24 hour trip home left something to be desired, but it wasn't enough to ruin it for me, that's how good that trip was!
Connecticut/Rhode Island - we picked where we were going on Friday, and left on Saturday. We were there as fall was hitting so it was gorgeous, everybody we met was really nice, we ate a lot of fabulous food, and we covered 2 states in 2 days. It was everything I had hoped a spontaneous trip to someplace random would be.
San Francisco - the weather was amazing, I saw my sisters, everything we did was fun and everything we ate was delicious.
The second resolution I failed miserably at. I ended 2008 30lbs heavier and more out of shape than I started it. Not good.
Coming soon - My resolutions for 2009!
