This is such a cute idea! I created a bucket list on my blog but this is an awesome idea. Hey, if you’re in the DC area try out Zaytinya…it’s amazzzing!
Thanks! I can’t take full credit, I got the idea from reading other blogs but thought it was too good to pass up! Hmm, I am in the DC area but haven’t heard of Zaytinya- what kind of food does it have? I’m def open to trying new things
Thanks!
Ditch the “wedding of the dreams” garbage and get married in DC City Hall like my hubs and I did– so much more money for traveling! We have been to three countries and numerous places in the States for all the money we would have blown on one day.
Every girl deserves her “dream” wedding and it’s different for everyone
That’s awesome that you and your husband have traveled a bunch, love to explore new places!
