My 100th Post

Well it is post 100 and I thought I ought to post something special for that post. So I have decided to post the top 100 places we have visited together. (Really this is almost every place we have visited but not everything made the list.) The kids have not been to all the places but Cameron and I have been to all these places together. It was fun to create this post because I got to think about all the places we have visited and I realize that we have had quite a fun life together so far.

Top 100 places we have visited:

1. Paris (Need I say more? We were here for our 7th anniversary and it was wonderful to be in this romantic city.)

2. Switzerland (We did not get to spend nearly enough time. I loved the hiking trails, the quaint cities and the beautiful alps. It looked just like I always imagined Heidi living in.)

3 Germany (We loved to visit Germany and especially loved the cool German houses with blinds on the outsides of the house. We loved the freeways with no speed limits and had the ride of our life to the airport in a tax.)

4 Mammoth (We love Mammoth. Together we have been there in the summer and fall. There is tons of hiking to do, places to shop and pools to swim in. We plan on going here again and again and hope to be able to afford skiing here sometime in the future.)

5 Zion (We have been to Zion a lot of times. One of my favorite things we did there was hike to the top of Angels Landing. Another time we hiked to hidden canyon. Zion is always a great place to visit.)

6 Top of Mt. Whitney (Cameron's mom, dad, brother, and I went along with Justin Smith on a 7 day backpacking trip. It was my first long trip and it took some getting used to. The best part was hiking up to Mt. Whitney early in the morning and the worst part was 101 switchbacks that didn't even begin to get us to our cars.)

7 Cabo San Lucas (We loved going on the boat ride and snorkeling, seeing whales, and visiting a great beach with amazing waves. I would go back there for a week and stay on the beach in one of those amazing condos we saw.)

8 Puerta Vallarta (An amazing combination of jungle and beaches. I enjoyed snorkeling and swimming at this location.)

9 Yosemite National Park (We have visited Yosemite twice -once in the summer and once in the winter. We took Ali with us camping when she was 10 weeks old. It was fun to see the sights, hang out with the Brown family and go hiking down to the bottom of the valley from the top.)

10 ziwatanejo (The little mexican restaurants on the beach, the woman who saved my fin and thus my future snorkeling adventures and the coral that I connected with a little too intimately remind me of the great place I wish we could have stayed for longer in.)

What Avondale didn't make the list? This mecca of oven temperatures and desert sand? Ok, so maybe that was before we got the big screen TV. It would totally make the list now. We even have very green grass in the backyard. (Tony has been very diligent in watering and seeding it.)

If I listed all of Shiloh's and my trips together I would be luck if I could get to 20. I think we should do something about that. Happy 100th!
