My Story in Photos: Places I Love

This week's theme at i heart faces is "My Story in Photos: Places I Love". I have a ton of photos that I am going to share with you. I don't have photos of some places that I really love because at that time, I had a film camera! :) So those photos are in albums! But I will tell you about each place that I love. My all time favorite place is Italy, especially Venice and Naples! What beautiful places to visit..I wish I had some photos on my computer to share with you. If you ever get a chance to visit Italy definitely go to Venice and Naples! I have also got to visit Rome & Florence, Italy; Barcelona, Spain; Ireland; France; Hawaii; Australia; Tasmania; and New Zealand. I feel really lucky to have visited those places! Thanks Mom and Dad for taking me with you!! Love you!

Anyways back to the challenge, my first 2 pictures are from Australia. The first photo is of a kangaroo. The 2nd photo is of a pastry shop. Yum! I love their pastries...and I also love turkish delight. Just thought I would share it with everyone! :)If anyone has a good recipe to make turkish delight please share! Thanks!

My husband and I got married in a castle up in Charlevoix, MI. Let me tell you this place is pretty romantic! :) I'm so glad we found this place!

The ceremony

The next place that I love was on our honeymoon in Little Palm Island, FL. If anyone wants to go somewhere where kids aren't allowed, this is the place to go! :) I believe their are only 12 huts on the island, there's a spa (try the milk and honey massage) what an amazing massage- they actually wrap you with milk & honey, an enormous chess set to play, no cell phone service, no TVs, snorkeling, canoeing, key deer inhabit the island, beautiful sunsets and they also have great food! Little Palm Island is truly a romantic destination to go to! I had to include a picture of the dessert, it is so delicious! I think we had it every night we were there!

The next place that I love is northern Michigan. These pictures are taken at my parents lake house in Petoskey. But I love Mackinac Island! When we were little, our whole family would visit every year! If you haven't ever been to Mackinac Island- you need to go!

So these next 3 photos are of a beaver dam near my parents lake house. Such a beautiful creation!

These were also taken up in Michigan, but I love a place where I can go and capture beautiful wildlife and plants! Michigan is surely a place where you can do that!

My last favorite place is Colorado. My husband and I took a road trip to Colorado, July '09. We went to a few different spots. We actually really didn't know where we were going until we got there! We were going to be spontaneous! But we had lots of fun!

Have any of you seen "Yes Man"-then you might recognize this place! If you haven't ever seen it- this telephone museum, in Lincoln, Nebraska, was visited by Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel. We just saw Lincoln, NB as we were driving home from Colorado and thought we should stop by! We actually didn't get to go in it, b/c it was only open on Sundays.
