7 Raincoats That Will Make You Wish For Rain


California is in a serious drought situation. While the rest of the country is experiencing severe rain and in some states even flooding. We are living in the drought. I'm hoping that the rain will begin soon and that yesterday's small sprinkle is a hint of things to come. This rain season we can all stay dry in these fabulous rain coats.

5 Cities to Visit in 2016

Our 2015 has been all about wedding planning and wedding saving. I love to travel and since we've sacrificed travel for our wedding this year we want to make 2016 a year of travelling. We want to go to five different places in 2016 and cities that we've never been to before. We want to discover new cities and try out different places. We've already got our first trip half way booked (airfare booked).

1. San Diego

This trip is booked! We will be spending our 2016 Valentines Day in San Diego. We've got our flights all booked. Now we just need to secure our car rental and find a hotel to throw our bags in. I've heard nothing but great things about this town so I hope it lives up to it's reputation. I'm sure it will be warm for February so that right there will be a nice treat. We will see the famous beaches, take in all the hot spots and throw some history into the mix.

We will only be in town for 48 hours, so if you have any must see places let me know! I do plan on visiting the Hotel Del Coronado. I've always loved seeing the famous photos of Marilyn Monroe there when she filmed the movie Some Like It Hot. Now I'll be able to take my own version of this photo...

2. New York City

When I was living on the east coast I wanted to visit the big apple. That feeling hasn't changed since I moved to the west coast. My uncle and his wife moved to the Tribeca area about a year ago so I'm sure I could persuade them to let us crash at their apartment but I wouldn't turn up my nose to stay at the famous Plaza Hotel or to the equally famous Waldorf Astoria. I want to get one of those super touristy foam crowns from the Statue of Liberty. Visit Times Square, pay respects at the World Trade Center footprints and so much more.  I would probably need a month to accomplish my wish list of places to visit here. Now who wants to get me to NYC?

3. Seattle

We have tried to go to Seattle twice and both times our plans had to be cancelled. Not this year though! I've got enough Southwest Frequent Flyer points that this trip is happening and want to use the points on the rainy city of Seattle. I mean hello! It has tons of movies set there and named about it, including the famous Sleepless In Seattle. The town can't be too shabby right?

We want to stay at the cute boutique hotel in Pike's Market, tour the gum wall, stroll by the troll under the bridge, visit the first ever Starbucks and climb to the top of the Space Needle. Maybe I'll even spot Frasier Crane across the street! Since Seattle does have it's rainy season we may not get to Seattle till the late spring or early summer so suggestions on things to do are much welcome!

4. Philidelphia

This town is the epitome of history to me. Maybe it's because I've seen National Treasure a hundred times but I love it. The liberty bell calls it home, the declaration of independence was signed there and all of our founding fathers were at least there once. I just think this would be such a great place to visit. I've been to Pittsburg but these two towns are so different. Any suggestions on places to stay and things to do would be appreciated.

5. Niagara Falls

I think it would so cool to visit and see the falls in person. I have no idea what else there is to do in and around the falls but I think it would fill up a day or two just visiting the falls and riding on the maiden of the mist. Suggestions?

If you've been to any of these cities and have great recommendations on where to stay, what is a must see and where to eat then please share them with me!

Cities that I've visited but can't wait to go back to...
Chicago
Washington D.C.
Memphis
Pigeon Forge
Myrtle Beach
