To fulfill this appreciation for architecture
developed in college, we have made a point to travel the
world to experience famous buildings and diverse
cultures. We traveled to Spain on our honeymoon. Several years later
we went to France
to explore Paris and the Normandy
countryside. Last fall we visited
Italy
- staying with friends who were living in
Florence. Domestically, we
have explored cities such as Chicago,
Milwaukee,
San Francisco, New York,
Victoria (Canada),
Los Angeles, Las Vegas (to
see Cirque du Soliel shows), New Orleans
(before Katrina), and Seattle as
well as natural destinations such as the sandstone landscape of
Arizona and the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Dream destinations
include visiting Australia
and the Greek
Islands
one day, exploring portions of
Egypt
and Asia, and visiting places in Europe
that the two have not seen before. (The island from where
Todd’s grandparents descended, Rhodes Greece,
is actually known for their proliferation of butterflies… we’d
hope to go during butterfly season at some point!)
Domestically, the two wish to explore New
York
more in-depth, visit Boston,
re-visit Denver, San Antonio and Chicago, and spend more time in Mt. Zion
national park.
Highlights include
visiting Parc Guell designed by Antonio Gaudi (in Barcelona Spain), visiting the Musee D’Orsay and the Louvre Museum
in Paris, taking a photography
tour of the Antelope Slot Canyons in
Arizona, and hiking the Cinque Terre on the coast of Italy.

city, ______.
