Awaking from hibernation - or the sand!

I have no idea why but when I thought about the phrase, awaking from hibernation, I didn't think of a bear coming out of a cave but rather I thought of a monster jumping out of a mound of sand...

So to celebrate my wake from a very long winters nap I want to share an amazing list of sand sculptures from around the world. Hold on tight, cover your eyes and view the mindblowing creations!!


More travels are coming soon, if you want your place to be one of them simply submit it. And remember comment, comment, comment!!!!

Destination - London

Today we are visiting a place I've always wanted to visit - London. Thanks to Lisa of A Day in the Life who moved from San Francisco to London in April.

In her own words, "I didn’t think it was possible for me to find a place better than where I lived before in San Francisco, but after moving to London, I realized that I was completely wrong. I have grown so much since moving out here-- learned so much about myself and those around me.

Living abroad is an amazing experience! I have only called London home for a few short months, but I can tell you that it is such a unique and special place-- one that will forever be embedded in my memory. I absolutely adore London...and so will you!"

As you can see, in these photos Lisa took herself, London is a gorgeous!! It's so rich in history, culture, and diversity. It is home to some of the most fascinating landmarks in the world. Such as Big Ben, Parliament, London Eye, and Tower of London. Among Lisa's favorite places are Trafalgar Square, Kensington Palace, and Tower Bridge.

London is full of breathtaking architecture, stunning scenery, and some of the most famous and recognizable places in the world. There is truly something here for everyone, regardless of your tastes or interests so go check out London with Lisa and tell us what you think!!!

Destination - St. Louis, Missouri

What is that lovely photograph above? Well that's an organ in the City Museum of St. Louis. Isn't it amazing? It was taken by Lori who graciously invited us all to visit her city!

Let's join her as she takes more pictures of the museum. Anyone want to go up to the roof of this 11 story building and ride the Ferris Wheel? I'll stay here and listen to you scream!!

Now how about an adventure. Mission - find that park. First we will drive all around the city. See that? It's the Saint Louis statue and over there is the Grand Basin. But no park, lets try asking someone. No they don't know. How about them? Oh yeah there it is! Mission solved... Next stop a completely amazing sculpture park.

As you can see it's a park dedicated to unique and very large sculptures. A nice reminder that even salvaged oil tanks can be art. Watch out for the eye, it's watching you!!
