Georgia On My Mind



I'm such a sucker for personality tests...so when I took this test some time ago
I was surprised to find that I'd fit in well if I decided to live in Georgia!

So when the opportunity recently presented itself to accompany my best friend, Kristie,
 on a weekend getaway to the Dogwood City, I was thrilled! 
Kristie's mission was to catch a Braves game at Turner field, before its 2017 closing,
and mine was to check a trip to the world's largest aquarium off of my bucket list. 
While we were certainly successful in executing both missions, even scoring an impromptu and complimentary behind the scenes tour of the world's largest fish tank at the Georgia Aquarium,
our time spent in Atlanta was so much more charming than either of us ever expected!

Life Through The Instagram Lens

 While glossy photos with DSLR cameras are standard form for sharing moments captured and memories made during trips taken, when on vacation these days I find myself reaching for my trusty smart phone more and more.  My phone is often the perfect way to chronicle just about anything that strikes my fancy, and is certainly more portable and convenient than my bulky Canon.

West Texas Ramblings

Hello friends, I know its been a while, but September has been a very busy month for me and I've been enjoying lots of travel, from Alpine to Anchorage. 
The more to share with you, I say! 
So, with that said, lets start from the beginning, shall we?

I was so thrilled to enjoy the Labor Day weekend in my hometown of Alpine, TX.  I was also fortunate enough to relish the delightfully quirky finds in Marfa, the weirdest little town in Texas.

I'm Baaack!

While Dallas often conjures images of excess and old Texas money, the Big D truly is a wonderful representation of all the Lone Star State has to offer and the menagerie of experiences available there. 

Having just enjoyed the pleasure of a week in Dallas, I have so much to share with you.  Dallas is nothing short of a veritable feast of vintage shopping, amazing eats, and inspiring attractions.  Anytime I have the pleasure to visit, I'm always forced to meticulously choose what my time in town will allow for.  Needless to say, I always try to fit in as many activities as possible, but inevitably feel I've missed out on the latest, greatest secret the city has to offer. Let's delve into some of the things I enjoyed, shall we?
