Hotel Boca Chica

I've been dreaming of a laid back beach vacation and Hotel Boca Chica in Acapulco looks like a great spot for some R&R. Beautiful ocean views, sweet pool, and comfy bright rooms to stay in. Imagining I'm there today. :-)

Buckingham Fountain

Got to check out the beautiful Buckingham Fountain in Chicago this weekend. I didn't see it at night, but hopefully next time I'll make it an evening visit. Also enjoyed more of Grant Park and downtown Chicago. Such a great city!

Innisfree Garden

These beautiful images of Innisfree Garden, located in Milbrook, NY take me to my happy place. There are waterfalls, streams, and a glacial lake throughout this amazing 150-acre public park. Wouldn't you love to spend an afternoon there?

Nantucket

Nantucket is one of those places I've always wanted to visit. Wouldn't it be fun to spend a week there in the summer? It seems like such a peaceful, pretty place.

Maldives

Photos from the beautiful Alila Villas Hadahaa island resort in the Maldives.

Sometimes I dream of a vacation to a beautiful, exotic location. A place far from home, where I can escape from reality for a little while. Where I don't have to worry about jobs or decisions about my future. A place to clear my mind and enjoy the beauty of the sky and water. I think this resort in the Maldives would do the trick. Don't you think?

Amanpulo

It's Monday, so why not some pretty resort pictures? These are photos from Amanpulo, a luxury beach resort in the Philippines. I've been dreaming of a relaxing beach vacation lately.

Positano

After seeing Joanna from A Cup of Jo's honeymoon pics I had to look up more photos of this beautiful town, Positano, Italy. Joanna and her husband spent 2 weeks in Italy and Greece for their honeymoon and I must say it looks like a dream vacation! Here are some pics from Villa La Madonnina's website.
