It's Winter in Michigan, and this is the time that TaGeez dreads most. Why? I'm suffering from cabin fever - locked in the house with maps and travel guides and plotting!
No, I'm kidding about TaGeez dreading this. We've planned some of our most amazing adventures from this love seat. We know
we can't beat last year for sheer number of miles and states, but I think we've decided on two amazing adventures this year!
WASHINGTON DC -
The land of Virtuals.
TaGeez and I are HUGE history buffs (we recently quizzed ourselves using the 100 possible questions on the US Citizenship test - we rocked it!). I had the pleasure of this trip with the wonderful WikidKriket a few years ago and was shocked that TaGeez has never been. Back we go!
Our main focus, of course, will be the Monuments, Smithsonian museums, Arlington Cemetery, the National Zoo, and all the war memorials. But, luckily for us, intermingled with these wonderful symbols of this glorious nation, is about
75 or so Virtuals! Toss in a handful of webcams and the well-received
Smithsonion NMMH geo-tour during the cherry blossom season and we have an adventure! Woo Hoo!

CENTRAL PARK - Bridges and Arches
I've been drooling over this one for a few years now. The
Bridges & Arches of Central Park GC17MX1 is a
32-stage multi walking adventure of this urban gem. Put out by Addisonbr in 2008, it has
460 Favorite points and
888 finders. Added bonus? Finders earn a custom geocoin only available in the final container! Watch the geocache-of-the-week
teaser video from Geocaching.com's blog.
I love the idea of spending the mornings working on the multi and the afternoons sightseeing, grabbing Virtuals and exploring New York. Hey, if it works out, maybe stop at Niagara Falls on the way back.

Now that we've competed our JASMERs, I'm so glad there are other adventures out there.
