I have been to a couple places in Europe and I have been to Mexico. Loved them both. I like to collect seashells from the beaches. You have to be sure to wash them really hard before taking them home, however, because then they will stink. If you have the means while traveling, I use a combo of half bleach half water and let them soak for as long as I can, then wash them off and then they are ready.

I like to put the shells in a bowl and put them on side tables. Once I decorated a picture frame with the shells and then put a picture of me and my hubby in the frame. It stands out on the shelf!

i have been to the bahamas! i would love to go back!! a regular vacation spot for me is the outer banks of NC, and i love it there! it is so beautiful and i find some of the best shells!! the hardest thing about travelling with the kids is the ride in the car!! they get so bored and start fighting and arguing, ahhhhh!! thats why i always carry a bottle of nyquil!! just kidding but it would be nice!

the outer banks of NC are my favorite spot too. The whole family goes every year for a week or two-it's a magical place. My other favorite place is Reno Nevado. I've been there twice and hope to go again next year. It's the most fun I've ever had!
