After months and months and months of begging, I finally convinced Chris that we needed to take a super cool vacation. Literally.
Naturally, I had about a thousand choices in mind. If you name it, I probably want to visit it. After a little bit of research, I presented my idea to him.
Lucky for me, he liked what I was saying. I’ve been known to be very persuasive.
I am pretty sure you are all sitting on the edge of your seats trying to figure out where exactly Chris and I could be going later this year.
We are visiting…
ICELAND!!!
Seriously, you guys, I am so excited!
How did I convince him that this should be our next destination?
Two words: aurora borealis (aka northern lights). Granted, seeing them is like seeing a rainbow but we have a better chance there than we do in Washington DC.
Other interesting things to see and do in Iceland:
Whale watching
Puffins!
Hot springs
Volcanoes
Glaciers!
Sea Lions
Horses
And really so much more. Like for instance, I kind of really love their social media presence (tumblr and facebook and quite a few twitter handles).
The plane tickets have been booked and the room rented, so now all I am doing (besides figuring out our itinerary) is counting down the days until we leave.

Have you ever been to Iceland? Any tips?
Coolest (pun intended) place you’ve visited?
