What a glorious weekend it was here in Connecticut!!! We spent quite a bit of time outside and “unplugged”…it was the perfect way to begin the summer!
While relaxing poolside this weekend reading a few of my favorite magazines, I saw a question posed to the readers of Real Simple magazine and I thought it would be fun to ask the same of all of you…
What is the most beautiful place you have ever visited?

Your Amazing Places
Oh dear….this is a tough one to answer my dear friend! I have to say the most beautiful place I've ever visited was EZE France. But then there's Le Perigord, Carmel California, The Ligurian Coast….
Hellooo Sweet Sandy! The two most beautiful places I have visited are the Cliff of Moher and Oahu. Have a wonderful week!
Colmar, France. Last week. And I still have to post about it!
I pinned all your photos here Sandy – every photo is breath-taking. Your question is a tough one since I can get biased based on the memories I have of a particular place – but for just it's beauty, I would say, Boracay Island in the Philippines. Hopefully next summer we could go to Palwan, which I gather is the most beautiful in our home country. 🙂
Northern Ireland, Antrim coastline! It is so beautiful when the sun shines! Ooh and Vevey, Switzerland- it's right beside lake Geneva!
I am in awe of these gorgeous images – I loved Italy, but one of the most beautiful was Lake Lucerne in Switzerland with the mountains reaching to the lake…spectacular!
Great question and just thinking back on our trips has me excited to take another one!!
But this is HARD!!
Hawaii for sheer natural beauty
Bermuda for the clearest water and whitest sand
Paris best all around
Venice for most uniquely beautiful
Napa Valley for best American beauty
Avignon and countryside of Switzerland for most countryside
I could go on and on and am sure I am forgetting one or two…..but these are all winners in my book!
What a good question, Sandy. Gosh, I just don't know how to answer it. So many places that are all beautiful in their own way: Paris at sunset when the Eiffel Tower starts to twinkle, Namibia when the sun rises over the red sand dunes, Monet's garden at twilight when it is closed to the public and you can almost imagine the artist himself wandering the rows of flowers, Bhutan, Provence… I could go on. It's not just the physical beauty of the place, but what is happening in that moment in your heart and mind that make it truly breathtaking.
I'll be pondering this question all day! XOXO
There are so many that have taken my breath away but I'd have to give the top spot to Lake Louise, British Columbia, Canada.
I'm thinking along the same lines as Katie: Ireland and Hawaii. I can vividly remember arriving in both of these locations for the first time and thinking that the colors – the green of Ireland and the blues of the waters surrounding Hawaii – were breathtakingly beautiful. Photos usually can't do complete justice to what you see with your own eyes!
