			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4393" title="Perfectly Peaceful Pacific an original watercolor painting by Joyce Hicks" src="http://jhicksfineart.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/perfectlypeacefulpacificwc_landscape.jpg" alt="Perfectly Peaceful Pacific" width="550" height="420" /><strong>Now that the</strong> holiday season is past we are beginning to think about what beautiful places we might want to travel to this year. One idea for <strong>Spring</strong> or early <strong>Summer</strong> might be to make our way <strong>South</strong> along the <strong>coastal highway</strong> to the tip of the <strong>Florida Keys</strong>. Salt air, white sand, seashells, turquoise water, fresh seafood and lazy days always leave me inspired. Maybe a journey in the opposite direction <strong>North</strong> to <strong>Colorado</strong> to see <strong>Mesa Verde National Park</strong> for archaeological sites, mesa top pueblos and mountain vistas would be fun too. I have always wanted to visit <strong>Yellowstone</strong> and we could easily add that destination to our itinerary as well.</p>
<p>Our <strong>Fall</strong> travel plans will include the <strong>Eastern Shore</strong> to travel the coastal road along the <strong>Atlantic</strong> for visits to <strong>Nantucket</strong>, <strong>Cape Cod</strong>, <strong>Martha&#8217;s Vineyard</strong> and any other <strong>villages</strong> we can find along the way. We will plan to time it so that we can be in the <strong>Vermont</strong> area to witness the <strong>Fall foliage</strong> as it begins it&#8217;s awesome show of color before making our way back home to <strong>Tyler, Texas</strong>.</p>
<p>Thinking of all this makes my head spin with all the beautiful places I will see. I am inspired to paint just thinking about it but being able to see it all up close and personal will be even better yet. Our plans will become more definite as <strong>Spring</strong> draws near so please check back for dates of departure. As aways I will share our travel experiences here on my <strong>blog</strong> with photos and text along the way. Thanks once again to all who continue to follow my work&#8230;Joyce</p>
