It's on the Calender

First things first. I realize that I never did a really great job of introducing this blog last year when I started it out of the blue and kept the web address completely secretive, apart from myself and my husband who I knew would not be an avid follower. Now it seems to have gotten a little bigger, first slowly leaking out and eventually me giving in and giving it out. So I feel the need to explain the blog name, "The Traveling Carrs", a play on our last name Carr, but referencing a mobile object with 4 wheels- yes, a little corny. It is pretty straight forward. When Chris and I got married we both vowed to embrace our passion for traveling. We have an overwhelming desire to see the world, or at least a fraction of it, while we are still young. Mostly, we are trying to experience cultures, art, architecture, landscapes, and the many, many different perspectives on the world. We always come back refreshed with a new outlook on life. Some trips are more leisurely (Puerto Vallarta, Colorado, NY), while others are packed with site-seeing and excitement (San Fran, Napa, Boston, Cape, Newport, Ireland, and Italy). While most people our age are not out blowing their money on trips, they are most definitely spending it on other priorities in their lives, whatever it is that piques their interest.

Our next adventure is going to take us to Los Angeles! Ever since our honeymoon, we have been wanting to go back to Europe, but time and money always seem to keep us closer to home for our vacations (the flight alone cost an arm and a leg), especially when we go on several trips each year. So off to the west coast! We will be celebrating our 4 year anniversary together in style. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, and Hollywood. It will be nice to get away from the scorching temps here as well. I will post pics after we get home, check back!

In the meantime, I have the first coat of paint in the craft room finished, the second will go on tonight. I found a rug, yay! Last task, ordering a light. Stay tuned.
