As much as a nice warm beach sounds right now.... I'd pick Peggys Cove Nova Scotia. That way I could spend a weekend with my favorite cousin. We were like sisters growing up, and we reconnected a couple of yrs ago when she was learning to quilt, and had some questions. We've gotten together a couple of times last year, and laughed until we were gasping for breath! I cherish time spent with her.

Thank you for comments: My husband and I have had the opportunity to take tour group type of trips across the USA and feel all Americans should travel through this great country of ours. One trip to western California were with a large group from various parts of England and it was wonderful to see my country through the eyes of a tourist.

No question, you guys have got it all.

South Africa, return to England, and Scotland, race the Iditarod and fly up to heaven to see my parents, realtives, friends and pets, and return back here until it is my time.

This made me smile, the little thing like this are the best.......

I agree Washington is beautiful, and would go back anyday. We have friends that live in Maryland :lol: We have travelled the East Coast on Amtrak and the service was good, would do it again. We now have another call and that is back to Calgary to see our eldest daughter and grandson George. Planning that for 2014, so that we can afford a decent seat on a plane. Scarborough for a long weekend this year is all for us this year :roll:

During the time around the Hatfield and Mccoy fight, they moved up here north, and she was amazed that people wore shoes all year!
I love those old stories, they still embrass him. That town is just a few miles away from the bridge over the River Gorge. It looks like we might be attending the annual Bridge Day they have there every fall. They close off the highway, and people jump off a perfectly good bridge! Hopefully we can stop in the town
Stories like this need to be passed on to our children, they are part of why we are here.
