Kinda sad

I am no longer going to Mexico. I was so excited to go but with all the crime and this stupid new law here, we decided not to do. The Hubs and our friend do not want to risk our safety...oh well

BUT we are probably going to Washington DC now. I hope. Ugh, boys needs to make up their damn minds.

Anyone been there?

  • Better to be safe then sorry.  DC can be alot of fun.  We went a lot when we lived in Jersey.  If you are a history or America buff there is SOOOO much to see and do.  The zoo is awesome and free!  Lots of museums are free as well, it's pretty cool.  And lots of great restaurants!!  We loved going to DC, wish we had taken advantage of it when we were closer.

  • Bummer!  :( But totally understandable.  I've been to DC but was a kid, so I don't remember too much (school trip) but I do remember thinking it was beautiful!  It's on my travel-to list for sure.  Let me know if its worth a trip back. :)

  • I went to DC in High School and loved it!  It's definately on our list of places to visit.  I was there for 3 days and didn't get to see nearly everything.  Arlington was very humbling and touching.  There was service going on at the time and the 21 gun salute brought tears to my eyes.

  • At least the travel is practically free!  They say Portland is beautiful!
  • I <3 Portland!!!  OMG- 1) they have NO sales tax, so it's like saving 10% on anything you buy (last time I went I bought a coach purse for my mom for Christmas).  2) I LOVE their Downtown area.  The Portland Grille is AMAZING!  3) they have the coolest "China Town".

    I <3<3<3 Portland!!  You will have a great time!

  • Where in Mexico were you planning on going to?  In April I went to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, and Ensenada twice (on cruises) and felt perfectly safe.  As long as you stay away from the border towns and stay at the resort once you get there (unless it's a really touristy area) you'll be fine!  I hate Cancun because you can't leave at all since there's nothing there, but Puerto Vallarta was fun and there were enough things around the resort that I was able to leave a bit.  In Ensenada I walked around town by myself and was perfectly safe and I'm the palest person you'll ever meet so I'm obviously not Mexican.  However, I would go to Nogales or Tijuana right now if you paid me!  But anywhere else I'd still go!  :)

    But I hear Portland is amazing!  I've been trying to get up there for years and have yet to make it.

    I saw Voodoo Donut on Man v. Food, and I've wanted to go to Portland just to see that place!  If you end up going, you have to take pics and post them! Big Smile

    I'm from Portland! Kind of--lived there freshmen year of high school till a year after I graduated. 

    Voodoo Donut is AWESOME. I miss Portland a lot. If you want any info, pm me with your questions. There are a ton of cool things to see and do, a lot of hiking things, wonderful diners/restaurants, shopping is amazing, love it. 

  • Jebuell-we were going to go to Mazatlan but DH found some reviews that he didn't like. And with the whole immigration law we passed, he didn't think it would be a great idea to go down to Mexico.  Maybe some other time.
     
    Tayrusso-I will bring back pics and let you know how they are. When DH and our friend said Portland, I was like "Voodoo donut is there" so I am excited
     
    Jillian-I sent you a PM
