TGIF is a fun little feature hosted at GReads! Every week we re-cap what has happened on the blog plus Ginger asks a question for us to answer. This week’s question is:
Summer Love:
Where is your ideal place to take a summer vacation & get lost in a book?
I don’t think you guys understand how hard it is for me to answer this question! I absolutely adore traveling in fact I want to visit every state and at least 3 countries overseas before I die (not to sound morbid or anything!). So instead of narrowing it down to one I figure I’d kill 2 birds with one stone. Why not choose the 3 overseas countries as one place to get lost with a book for the summer?
I am not very original but it is my dream to backpack across Europe. I would choose France, Italy, Ireland and every little pit-stop in between. Honestly, what better places would there be? I would love to sit down at a little cafe and sip some coffee while reading, or sit next to a beautiful fountain for hours with a book, or even go lay on a blanket surrounded by books, beautiful green grass, and castles. It would just be so magnificent to be in a foreign country, seeing all the beautiful sites, reading a book, and not having anyone talk to me because I don’t speak their language. Plus, foreign guys (most of them) are gorgeous. If I could meet a St.Claire look alike, my life would be complete. Yup, that would be my perfect summer vacation reading spot!
This week on Katelyn’s Blog (6/17-6/24):
Backpacking through Europe would be crazy fun! It’s one of this things that I have always dreamed about too! :)
Though I didn’t backpack, I have visited 2 of the 3 places you mentioned. I spent some time in London (when my parents lived there) in my early 20′s. I had the opportunity to visit places like France & Italy while I was over there. Once you’re in Europe it’s cheap to buy train & plane tickets to venture around! Some of my best memories were spent over there. Definitely a summer-worthy place to go :-)
We have similar dreams – I went to southern France last spring and it was glorious. Everything you mentioned, small outdoor cafes, glorious scenery, great pastries and coffee. I highly recommend it. :)
Spending some time in Europe would be awesome. Definitely something I would love to do in my life…but not with my kids! I would love to wait until they are much older, then just go with my dude. THAT would be fun.
That’s a fun post! Mine would be Ireland, Australia & Greece.
I wanna go! I feel like having a tantrum like a baby! haha! :)
Ah!!! Perfect what gorgeous pictures!
DUDE!! Let us go to France together! I’ve wanted to go to France for SO long! I have a million other places I’d love to go too, but seriously- France!! :)
I would also REALLY like to go to Scotland and Wales because most of my ancestry comes from there (although, it is admittedly heavier on the Welsh then the Scottish! :P)
