ALL-AMERICAN ROAD TRIP: MONUMENT VALLEY (AND AN OUTFIT)
ALL-AMERICAN ROAD TRIP: ROUTE 66 & GRAND CANYON
Oh man, you guys. Do I have a crap ton of photos from our road trip (official amount - crap ton). Hopefully I don’t bore you, but you’re going to be seeing a lot of them over the next couple of weeks. You’ve been warned.
So, we started out with the first day driving from Vegas to the Grand Canyon, stopping along Route 66 on the way. I loved Route 66. So cute. I was running all over the place, discovering all sorts of cutesy little spots. We actually stopped in both Saligman and Williams. And didn’t leave until we got some BBQ, of course. By the time we got to the Grand Canyon, we spent the whole second half of the day driving the scenic route, stopping at all of the look-out points. I swear, no camera can actually capture the real beauty of that place. No pictures do it justice. If you have never been, it should definitely be on your bucket list!
P.S - because I know someone will ask, my overalls are thrifted Levi’s.

Topsfield Fair
It was a rainy, cold, and at one point - powerless day at the fair last weekend. But its a yearly tradition, and I couldn’t not go this year. I would’ve had a big sad face. So we grabbed our umbrellas and headed out to Topsfield. Even with the rain, we gobbled down all our favorite foods (seriously the best part of any fair), the animals were still all smiles, and the game people still hassled us to spend our money.
Aaaaah I love the fair :)

Snapshots: Charlestown
One day last week, Boo and I took a cue from Emily and headed into Charlestown for the day. It was lovely visiting an area of the city that we haven’t been to before. Living in such a historic city means that there is always something to do, see, and learn! Bunker Hill, the shipyard, and Warren Tavern were perfect additions to our list :)
A Weekend In Vermont
Boo and I had a belated anniversary celebration this past weekend. We drove up to Stowe, Vermont for a quick adventure filled couple of days. I was on a mission for this trip - mission waterfalls. And we saw two! I was even brave enough to wade into the swimming hole at the bottom of one (it was so freakin cold, it actually took my breath away).
Other highlights from the trip - we went kayaking and hiking, saw Stowe from high up above, tried out an alpine slide, had the most delicious maple creme brûlée, and finished off the night with a fun game of mini golf. It was a super great weekend! Even with all the bug bites, muddy legs, and sore muscles that came along with it :).
St. Lucia, Part Four - The Peace and Quiet
I originally told myself that I would limit myself to only two honeymoon posts. But, do you know how hard it is to narrow down 300+ pictures into two short posts? Ridiculously hard. It was hurting my brain trying.
So I’m not gonna even bother trying to narrow it down. For my own sanity. Instead, the rest of this week is dedicated to honeymoon photos, if you don’t mind. If you do, well, you should probably just step away and come back next week. Just sayin’.
Lastly, post 4/4 - the peace and quiet time.
.
Ok, I lied - this was my favorite part. The resort that we chose to stay at - Ladera, isn’t your typical busy, bustling resort. Its quiet, it feels deserted (even though it’s not), and it’s absolutely gorgeous. It has, hands down, the absolute best view on the whole island. And, at night, it is so dark that you can see every single star in the sky (Boo was in heaven).
It was so calming and relaxing. Even on the days it rained, I didn’t mind staying in our room, looking out over the Pitons, and taking Boo on in a few games of scrabble.

The food was absolutely delicious every single night. And, as much as we also loved our hotel’s restaurant (Dasheene), our favorite was the restaurant across the street- Boucan. Located on the grounds of the cocoa growing Rabot Estate, everything on the menu uses cocoa as an ingredient. I’m talking white chocolate mashed potatoes, steak drizzled with chocolate sauce, bread with cocoa butter, and salads with white chocolate dressing, to name a few. De.lic.ous.
Oh, and those sunsets? My favorite.

One of the reasons we chose St. Lucia, is for the variety of activities it offers. The island doesn’t just have gorgeous beaches and amazing waters. It also has a rainforest, two giant Pitons (mountains), and a drive-in volcano. We got to swim under waterfalls, visit the botanical gardens and take a dip in the mineral baths, take a volcanic mud bath, go zip lining, and even tour the local market and take a cooking class with our hotel’s head chef. And, of course, the snorkeling. We loooove the snorkeling.
We were able to go on some amaaaazing adventures that we will definitely never forget.

First up, post 1/4 - the beach.

The beach! My favorite part! We spent 3 whole days relaxing, snorkeling, and eating delicious island tacos and sipping pina coladas on the most beautiful beach situated between the two Pitons. We kept wanting to go back. So we did. And I’m still daydreaming about that view.
