5 Places

I can't remember where I saw this the other day, but someone posted 5 places they wanted to take their kids.  I actually started a list for Cole and it was WAY longer than 5 places.  But, here are the top 5 places I want him to see.
In no particular order...
1.  Grand Canyon-I want to see this one, too.  Not sure what all there is to do while you're there, but I think it would be awesome to go there.
2.  Washington, DC-This one is a little tricky.  I went there when I was 13 or so, and I remember thinking it was really cool, but I don't remember a lot of it now.  I want to go back now that I'm older and can really appreciate it.  So I would probably take Cole and Cass there when they were in HS maybe.  But, at that point, they probably wouldn't be interested.  But, we'll see.
3.  Redwood Forest-Again, like the Grand Canyon, I'm not sure what all there is to do there, but this place just looks awesome to me.  I'm sure the boys would enjoy just being out running around in the trees if nothing else!
4.  The Ocean-I love the ocean.  I would love for them to see the Atlantic, Pacific and Caribbean at least.  I'm not sure I've actually seen the Atlantic (besides the Gulf of Mexico).  I don't think I have.  I've been to the Pacific in California and Mexico (Puerto Vallarta for 1 day (long story)), and the Caribbean in Belize.  I hate that it took me till I was 26 years old to leave the country, so if the boys could see the ocean in another country, that'd be cool.  But, call me selfish, but if Justin and I are going to Mexico or the Caribbean, I might want it to be just the 2 of us...at least for a decade or so!!
5.  Disneyworld-I cannot tell you how often I dreamed of going to Disneyworld as a child.  It was almost this mythical place to me.  I was always jealous of people I knew who got to go there.  I always said that I would take my kids there come hell or high water. 

Of course there are a few places I want to visit besides these places, but are not exactly high on the list for Cole and Cass...
1.  IRELAND-I WILL GO HERE BEFORE I DIE.  No kids invited.  Daddy and me only. 
2.  Yellowstone
3.  Alaska
4.  Hawaii
5.  New York (I have the feeling Justin would not be into this trip)

I have some many things I want to share with my 2 boys.  I can't wait until they're big enough to do some of this stuff.  On the other hand, I know I need to enjoy them while they're little.
