Now that the weather is getting nicer and I am officially on summer break, my wanderlust is kicking in hard. So many places to go, things to see, and adventures to be had! I just wish I had the time and money to do allllll of them this summer. Traveling is my love language (if travel can really be one's love language, that is) and I love the feeling of breaking free of my day to day schedule for a while. It is refreshing and renewing for the soul.
Since I know that it won't be possible to visit all the places my little heart desires to this summer, I thought I would share a list of them anyway because, after all, a girl can dream, right? :)
Palm Springs, CA (image via)
This is the most realistic and likely trip to happen this summer, which I am super excited about! Plans are actually in the works :) But at any rate, I have been seeing so much about Palm Springs via Instagram and other bloggers the past couple years, and have really been wanting to go! Even though it is fairly close to San Diego, I have never been. Hopefully that will change this summer! I just want to lounge by the pool, explore the town, go shopping, photograph everything, hang out with friends, and look cute while doing it :) I'd love to stay at this colorful hotel pictured above!
Austin, TX (image via)
Though summer is just about the worst time possible to visit this state, Austin still makes my list! I visited for the weekend in the summer of 2013, when I was temporarily staying in Texas, and I have wanted to go back ever since. I had a great time exploring this city with my family and wished that I could have stayed longer! It is a really cool place with pretty interesting people, night life, and things to do. I would love to pay this vibrant city another visit this summer, despite the heat!
Big Sur, CA (images via & via)
This beautiful spot is just a few hours south of where I live, yet I have never visited it! I hear it is a wonderful place to camp and hike, which is exactly what I'd like to do! I have also heard of its beautiful beaches and breathtaking sights, plus it is a nice balance of forest-y and coastal scenery. What a lovely combo! Nestled on the central coast, it is a quiet getaway within my home state!
Tulum & Cabo, Mexico (images via & via)
I have never been to Mexico before, but would definitely like to take a relaxing trip down there! Like Palm Springs, I have been seeing a lot about Tulum from other bloggers and it seems like such a beautiful place! I would love to take a walk along those sandy beaches and explore the ruins that are there. I also wouldn't mind sipping drinks poolside at a Cabo resort and going out for tacos for dinner :)
Los Angeles & Disneyland, CA (image via)
It has been a few years since I have been to Disneyland and CA Adventure, so it has been high on my list to visit with Dai again! I don't think I will ever outgrow the magic of Disneyland :) While we are in the area, it would be nice to hang out with friends who live there and spend some time on the beaches of Los Angeles!
Wouldn't all of these trips together make just the best summer?! Hopefully I will be able to cross at lease a couple of these off my list :)
Where would you love to travel this summer? Do you have any trips planned already?
