a place of peace

The second night of our trip was spent at the Grand Canyon. It was a much needed day of peace and quiet.

That night was one of the best nights of rest I have ever had camping. It was so quiet! No bug sounds! I

was not used to that at all. The next morning I woke up at five and got to see a beautiful sunrise with Rob.

Our stay there was perfect.

new mexico and arizona

These are from the first two days of our road trip. The time change was messing with me so I was

pretty tired. I kept a journal along the way jotting down little things I wanted to remember.

Some highlights from these two days were seeing dust tornadoes on the Texas plains, the desert skies,

browsing at EVERY indian souvenir shop in New Mexico, eating tons of white cheddar popcorn and

gummy worms in the car, having egg sandwiches and grapes on the side of the road in Texas,

listening to every album on both of our ipods, the cute wigwams in Holbrook, and seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. Those pictures are coming soon. I needed a whole post for them! Hope everyone is
having a fun summer.

almost five thousand miles

My trip to California was amazing! I'm ready to move there. These were taken in New Mexico

on the first day of driving. It was a very long day. As soon as we got to Albuquerque we

grabbed some tacos and crashed. I got to see this beautiful sunset at the end of a twelve hour day of driving

which made it all worth it. I have tons of pictures to share coming soon!



headed west

In just two days Rob and I will be leaving on the trip we have dreamed about for years. This trip

has been planned for the last year! We are heading west to visit the Grand Canyon, Yosemite NP, San Francisco, and then driving up the coast to see Redwood NP. I can't wait to see those beautiful trees!

Our ten year anniversary will be spent in Yosemite NP. I hope to watch the sunset at Glacier Point with

my love and a cold beer. I'll be back in two weeks with lots of pics to share.

tiny forest

Tiny was the word over at words to shoot by this week.

 

field of lace

Last weekend my mom and I found a lovely field of Queen Anne's lace at the magic hour.

We took photos and watched a beautiful sunset together. She is always so patient while I'm

trying to get that perfect shot. I love that about her.

buffalo river camping

One of my favorite places on earth to camp. We got to spend Memorial Day weekend camping with

our family and it was a much needed break for us all. The river water was perfect and the stars

that night were amazing. My new chaco sandals that I LOVE had their first dip in the Buffalo river.

I brought along a book from the library that we all couldn't get enough of. If you're into vintage campers

you have to check out this book. I'm gonna have to buy it for sure. Rob and I hope to buy and fix up a vintage camper or van someday. Fingers crossed.
