List of Scott & Cathryn's Dream Trips
1. Hiking in Zion's National Park--I don't think either of us has been before. We'll probably do this before we move back up to P-Town in August
2. Road trip back to Texas & Louisiana to see Scott's family--we're (tentatively) planning this for Christmas!
3. Pacific Northwest (Oregon & Washington state)--neither of us has ever been
4. California Redwoods, coast, and SoCal--Scott hasn't been to Cali since he was little, and I'm dying to see San Diego again. Neither of us has been to the Redwoods
5. East coast cities--NYC, Boston, D.C. Scott's never been to the first; I've never been to the other two
6. Alaskan cruise--this one won't happen for a while, but we both want to a) take a cruise and b) see the Northern Lights!
