One of the many things I have been
thinking about is where in the world to travel this year. We both really
enjoy it and we save up each year so that we can take a trip. Some years it depends on life circumstances of course but this
year I think we will try to do a longer trip and then visit some areas
near us throughout the year.
I have put together a list of places within reasonable driving distance that we
might try to see in 2020. I also love recommendations of fun places to go so add your input!
·
Royal Gorge in Colorado-I would like to ride the train!
·
Chile & Frijoles Festival Pueblo, Colorado-I have always wanted to go and I think it might work out this year.
·
Georgetown, Colorado– This is such a cute little
town bursting with fun shops, food, and history. The drive over Guanella
Pass is also well worth the journey.
·
Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park in Kansas-This
is a new state park and while you might think Kansas isn’t exciting,
think again! There are some treasures hidden in the prairie.
·
Monument Rocks National Natural Landmark in Kansas-I bet you have seen pictures from here but didn’t realize it was
located in Kansas.
·
Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska-This place
covers 20 acres! That is a lot of history and artifacts. We love history
and have always wanted to visit but have yet to make it there. This
could be the year.
·
Leadville, Colorado-The Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad train ride! We have been meaning to go here for a
couple of years but it has yet to happen. I have family who has been on
the train and they really enjoyed it.
·
La Veta Pass area in Colorado-This I am sure won’t
happen this year but GUYS this area is so unexpectedly pretty,
especially in autumn. There was a fire that took out a lot of the forest
but we visited after and it is still a beautiful
area. Also, the northern New Mexico/southern Colorado border has some
beautiful mountain areas that are well worth checking out.
·
The North Pole near Cascade, Colorado-I love this
place so much. My husband thinks I am crazy but if you are in the area
this is a fun place to spend a day. I personally don’t think you need to
have kids to visit but I am sure
if you do they will love it!
Some of things aren't going to happen for us this year but I thought I would share places that have been on my mind.

Are you going anywhere this year? Are you doing a “staycation”?
