Thursday Thirteen #14

Thirteen places I would like to visit
1. New York City
2. Green Gables, Prince Edward Island
3. Meem’s Bottom Bridge, Virginia (again)
4. Grand Canyon, Arizona (again)
5. The East Coast – I was within a mile of it before we had to turn around and head back to Oklahoma due to a family emergency. I have never seen the Atlantic.
6. Maine – I’ve always wanted to live there. Who knows why.
7. The real bridges of Madison County.
8. Salzburg and Vienna, Austria – Since the age of seven I have been in love with The Sound of Music. This would be a pilgrimage for me.
9. Alaska
10. North Carolina (again) – The only time I was there before it was very early in the morning and I didn’t get to see much.
11. Historic Route 66 Blue Whale, Catoosa, Oklahoma
12. Winchester Mystery House, San Jose, California
13. Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia

    What a great name you have.
    I’m so pleased to be visiting your site.
    I live in New York – so when you get here give me a holler and I’ll give you a grand tour.
    Take care,
    Frances

    Good to meet you! Reading through your list made me want to pack my bags – most of those places are on my favorite destinations list, too. Stop by my blog any time you’re in the neighborhood and Happy Thursday.

    PS. Happy Birthday, too!

  3. Mama Duck says:

    These all sound great! Happy TT!

  4. Virginia says:

    I’ve always wanted to go to Virginia! Seriously.

  5. Janene says:

    I’ve always wanted to visit Maine, too. It started after I saw the movie Message in a Bottle…come to think of it, I don’t know that it was shot in Maine though. Hmm.

    Great list! Mine’s up! Happy Thursday!

  6. Shoshana says:

    All these for Thanksgiving? A bit of a tight schedule isn’t it? :)

    Mine’s up…come on by!

  7. goofy girl says:

    Ooo, I love maine! It’s a great place! I want to see Alaska too!

  8. Kay says:

    I noticed that Russia is the only place that’s listed that is not within the US. Still, all choices are nice ones. =)

    I’m up!

  9. Jo (Laquet) says:

    I was lucky enough to visit Salzburg as a teenager on a school trip … the water gardens there are fab too! Great TT off to check out the other places now.

  10. Most of those places are in the U.S.. I am fascinated with Austria myself… ever since the Sound of Music…. it’s on of our family favourites…

  11. Kay says:

    My bad … I’m geographically challenged. Thanks for stopping by!

  12. meredith says:

    All of those places sound wonderful!

    Happy TT!

  13. abby says:

    so i’m not a fellow TT-er. i just wanted to say that seeing North Carolina is a *must*. it’s a dang-near perfect state, with mountains on one side, the beach on the other, a mild climate that gets all four seasons… it’s simply and absolutely gorgeous.

  14. Addie says:

    Lovely list! I would like to tag along – let me know if you need a traveling partner …
    I have never ever been across the borders of my country (South Africa)
    Happy TT :-)

  15. suki says:

    great list!! :) a little funny that you would choose the winchester mystery house specifically, but neat. if you do visit us, sneak by SF! Oh, and you might like the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz.

  16. MommyBa says:

    I would love to visit Salzburg and Vienna too because I simply love The Sound of Music!!!! I really think it’s a beautiful place to go to.

    Happy Thursday!

  17. Eh, the Atlantic is just a big blue body of water. Nothing to get excited about. (but what do I know? I live west of Mars!)

    Happy TT!!!

  18. Nathalie says:

    Never been to any of those places, but I hope you do soon!
    Happy TT!

  19. Tizzie says:

    *blushes* with the exception of the places in Europe and the Grand Canyon, I have no idea where any of these are!!! Geography and me were never friends!!!

    Great list, happy TT!!!

  20. Tanya says:

    I’ve only been to one of those places (the Grand Canyon) even though I travelled around the world for seven years. Must get out and go see the places I missed….

    My list is up.

  21. Umoja says:

    Love your creativity!

  22. Michelle says:

    What a great list, I would love to visit Alaska too!

  23. Sparky says:

    Come to the east coast, the Atlantic Ocean is very very different from the Pacific Ocean.

  24. N. Mallory says:

    Ooo, I’ve wanted to visit the Winchester Mystery House since I was a kid but the one time we went near it on a family trip my dad wouldn’t stop.

    Happy TT.

  25. Missy says:

    Great list! I hope you get to visit all those places someday.

  26. Bond says:

    had to stop by the first TT for this week… I grew up in NYC..you have to visit.. The Atlantic is fantastic.. Try and get to Long Island and go to the Fire Island beaches – or Montauk Point…spectacular.

    Happy TT

    Come visit THE COUCH

  27. Starrlight says:

    Great list! I’d love to see the Winter Palace. I have been to Salzburg and Vienna and they are incredible. It is like being in a fairy tale.

  28. Dawn says:

    i am originally from the East Coast. Connecticut, in fact. i had seen the Northeastern U.S. Atlantic many times before i moved to Florida. (haven’t seen the Florida Atlantic though!) just saw the California Pacific for the first time back in September. if you’ve never seenthe Pacific, add that to your list too. it is *amazing*.

    happy TT! i played too. =)

  29. Jenny Ryan says:

    Oooh, I really want to go to Austria too.

  30. Lori says:

    Neat TT! I’d love to see Grand Canyon but we’re waiting until the toddlers get a little older.

    Happy birthday, a couple of days late!

  31. Vicki says:

    lol, When I was 18, I lived in San Jose California and never visited the Winchester Mystery House. I wish I had.

  32. Brony says:

    I would love to visit Alaska, Green Gables or the Grand Canyon.
    Happy TT!

  33. Terri says:

    Hi Elizabeth,
    I’m a newbie to TT….I do hope you eventually get to visit these places. I’m originally from New England, Boston area, and I have no doubt you’ll like the mighty Atlantic. And a Happy Belated Birthday to you.

  34. annb says:

    Quite a list! I have never travelled much and am really a homebody! New York City is one place that I have always wanted to see, though. For now, Oklahoma is my favorite place – especially since I live here!

  35. Cristie says:

    Hey, I live in NC! When you visit, come on by! I live in the mountains though while it is beautiful, if you can go, Go to the Outer Banks if you can. I would move there in a heart beat. Love your list! I hope you get to visit every single place. My #17 TT is up.

  36. incog says:

    Great TT I would like to visit some of those places too.
