There were other stops that I have missed on this recap. I saw many wonderful things this year. I try to explore where ever I go. It makes the grind of business travel easier. 

What will 2015 bring? Right now on my travel schedule I am going to El Paso, TX and St. Cloud, MN and back to Florida and Kansas.  Rich and I are starting to think about vacations in 2015. 

What was your favorite place that you visited in 2014?

Here is to a year full of adventures!

Thanks for traveling with me!

Chris

Beautiful photos! A new favorite place to visit in 2014 was Montana. I'm from Europe and go 'home' at least every second year but trying to see as many states as I can in this lovely country:) Safe travels, Chris!

Ellen said...

Wow, Chris...I knew you had traveled a lot last year but I didn't realize it was to so many places.

A trip I highly recommend is is driving the northern California and Oregon coast. The scenery was spectacular. We enjoyed the trip so much that we hope to repeat it peraps as soon as this year.

Margaret said...

What fun to see all the places you went. You are going to become a very well travelled person! We didn't go to many places -- just Cincinnati and Maine. And Boston, of course. Always love Boston. :D And NYC!

Ruth said...

My Heavens you got around! Love the images.... possibly my favorite was the Almond Roca :) I hope your 2015 travels will bring you much happiness.

Me, 2014, hmmmm, probably my traditional DC Spring and Christmas trips. It's all about the family. :)

Loved the photo journey you took us on, Chris! Other than my Mom and I heading to Williamsburg, we didn't stray far from home.

Such beautiful photos, Chris--I'm glad you're getting to see so many parts of our amazing country. I know it must be tiring, too, but when you look back on your travel year, you should feel so lucky that you've had all this wonderful travel experience and seen all these interesting locales!
