2015 was a good year for travel. We crossed a trip off my travel bucket list as well as visiting parts of our own country and the US. We started our travels in March with a short spring break trip, and then I went to the West Coast. I made a very short trip to Berkley, and then we settled into a summer of travel with three weeks in Scotland and then almost two more in Colorado.
