trying to drag my husband to America ...

[percival]

... I'd like to go to the States, something that will be difficult with a baby, but extremely feasible now.

We'd be very much swimming against the stream, what with the current mood in Europe. Now, I only have to persuade my husband, who's not too enamoured with the U.S. of A. But I hope some pics of beautiful countryside will be enough. I will also need to remind him that the States are a very large and diverse country where every single state has quite different characteristics. (True?)

We'd be focussing on the North-West, because of the temperatures (low) and the scenery (beautiful). (Personally, I like it hot, but my husband feels cooked when the temperatures rise much above 20 Celsius. He's also a country type, not a city type.) Ah yes, and because of the pleas of Lonely of Montana. You know who you are.

We'll see. Maybe Iceland will win out in the end. Wish me luck!

EDITED to say:

Happy Birthday Frankie!!!!!!!!!!

*pouncehugs and glomps*

May God be with you during the next year of your life.

I'm in Massachusetts! (Which is okay really, but...) We vacation every year in Maine! Mount Desert Island, Maine, to be exact. And this is where we hang out while we're there: <http://usa.visitmaine.com/region/region_downeast.php> I know I probably wouldn't get to see you while you were there, but I felt I just had to let you know about one of the most beautiful places on God's green earth. My parents grew up there and I spent a portion of every summer there. If you want more pics, go on Google and do an image search on Acadia National Park. The second page especially has some exquisite pictures.

And Montana and other places are beautiful too, but I wanted to tell you about a place I consider just a few feet shy of Heaven, my second home. Can you tell I really need a vacation?
