A Travel To Do List

For quite some time now, I've kept a running list in my head of travel and adventure experiences I've wanted to have. Here they are, in no particular order. I anticipate this will be a post I'll update often as new ideas materialize. And I can't wait to start checking some of these off once Liam gets a little older!

Backpack in the woods
Hike to Macchu Picchu

Check out the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA
Ski in Colorado

And I think I'd like to try a cruise. Once. It might not be my thing. But it's worth a try, yes?

Vacation Moments

We went out of town for a wedding and short 4-day vacation to St. Simons Island, GA. It was Liam's first flight, and despite us feeling like we brought our entire house with us, everything went relatively well! Here are a few of my favorite shots from the weekend.

I'm also becoming aware of why I like photography so much - looking back at our photos reminds me of everything that I have to be grateful for. I love capturing the small moments in our day to day life, and being present to the simple beauty that surrounds us.
