I don’t know about you, but I am ready for warmer weather! I don’t mind the cold or the snow, but usually as winter winds down and temperatures start to rise, I count down the days until spring arrives.
As I mentioned in my previous blog, I recently visited Park City, Utah, for a bachelorette party. The following weekend, my husband attended the groom’s bachelor party in the Bahamas. Even though I had a great time in Park City, I was still jealous watching my husband pack his suitcase with sunscreen, shorts and bathing suits.
Daydreaming of warm destinations made me think about upcoming travel plans and trip inspiration for the rest of the year. We’re jetting off to Palm Beach, Florida, in April for the wedding of the aforementioned bride and groom. I’ve traveled to Florida many times but not recently and never to Palm Beach. Stay tuned for a future blog about our travel there. In May I will visit another new-to-me Florida destination, traveling to Miami for the Leisure Lifestyle Awards. The 13th annual event will take place at InterContinental Miami Hotel on May 22. Will we see you there? RSVP here.

Beyond these trips, my husband and I discussed a long weekend getaway somewhere in July and possibly a longer trip in the fall. In the meantime, I will dream of bathing suits and beaches.
