Winter Roundup

I’ve always appreciated living in a place that allows me to experience all four seasons but quite frankly, I’ve found this past winter to be pure torture. More often than not I can’t even sit still long enough to watch a movie. I feel like I always need to be doing something. The downside to this is it’s costly and I do have days where it’s difficult to keep it all in my budget. At the end of the day these things have kept me sane though. So for my last night of winter I thought I’d reel off a few quick lists of some of the places (in no particular order) I was able to either explore for the first time or revisit. (I made it a point to leave off anything I wouldn’t recommend – this doesn’t mean I wouldn’t recommend it if it isn’t on here though!) Putting this together was actually mildly horrifying – considering it probably doesn’t even account for half of the places I had been (and it’s obviously a reminder of where the majority of my money goes!). Please note, anything with an asterisk* after it mean it’s featured in another post.
