Day 8: Place You've Travelled

I've been a few places, thanks to choir competitions and trips, but one place will always be my favorite just because of what it means to me and our life.

When the hubs was in boot camp, I would've given anything to get to him.. And two months after he graduated, I was finally able to go! Great Lakes, IL will always be one of my favorite places. We had so many good times there, got married there, and the only times I didn't cry leaving there was when he was with me. We plan on going back someday and staying in the CRAPPY motel we stayed in all the time and eating at the gross restaurant we ate at after getting married.

The first time going there was my first trip by myself. I drove the 8+ hours all alone just to see my love. And I'd do it again! (I did actually, several, several times. haha.) Driving through Chicago was always like the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I was almost there, almost back to my baby. I remember the nerves and the butterflies like it was yesterday. It was (and remains to be) definitely one of my favorite places on Earth!
