Did you guys know Christmas is my favorite holiday? When I found out about Bronner’s I knew I couldn’t leave Michigan without visiting. I didn’t think it was going to be possible because initially I thought it was just too far from where we were staying. But after some sleuthing on MapQuest I realized

We had a few spare hours one afternoon, so Mike, Chris, and I went to Detroit to catch a Tigers’ game. They were playing the Washington Nationals and it was neat to be there because I have some ties to DC. Detroit blew the Nats out of the water – the final score was 1
So we spent a few days in Michigan last week. It was my first time to that part of the country, and also my first time that far north. We drove through North Carolina, Kentucky, and Ohio, and it was my first time to see Ohio, too! We stopped for gas somewhere near Bowling Green
Friday I only worked until 1 PM, so when I got home, Mike and I decided to go on an impromptu camping trip for our 16 monthiversary. We packed up our camping stuff (twinkle lights included), left some food out for the cats, and hit the road to Pisgah National Forest. The weather was absolutely

I got my first camera sometime around 2000 or 2001. It might have been for my birthday while we were living in London. I was instantly obsessed with photography and can’t even estimate how many rolls of film I went through. I’m up at my mom’s and was going through some things in my room
Even though it rained all day we still adventured around the town of Bled. We went up to the castle (I say “went” but I mean ascended a very steep staircase and slippery rock driveway), walked around the lake, and managed to find time to eat. I did not even remotely enjoy Slovenian food. I
The day we left Salzburg the sun finally came out. Before heading to Slovenia we walked down by the river for a little while. I wanted to make sure I had some pics of Salzburg with the sun. We got into Bled, Slovenia in the early afternoon. We saw a little bit of sun at
