    i’m actually on vacation RIGHT NOW. hahaha, my husband, dog and 4 month old are in Charlotte, NC and LOVING every minute. The weather is beautiful and we love the city. We are from a somewhat rural city in Pennsylvania so I don’t get to try new/different restaurants very often. Trying cool new restaurants are one of my favorite things and so I’ve gotten to do a lot of that here 🙂 But one place i have on my “one day” list is alaska. oh man, such beauty there.

    We like to visit Lake Michigan on the weekends. It’s a 2 hour drive but feels like we are worlds away & the fireworks off the pier are the best!

    If we’re going on a big trip we love to visit San Diego. However most summer vacations are road trips through our great State of Texas.
