Summertime is in full swing now + I’m thrilled. Summer is my absolute favorite season, despite the heat and humidity here in Florida. The feeling of the sun on my skin, beach days, summer trips, watermelon and fresh fruit…it’s just the best, isn’t it?

Well, I guess its about time I sit down and write this post on our recent trip to Ireland. The trip, while quick, was absolutely incredible and Eric and I made some unforgettable memories and yet, I’ve been so daunted to write about it. I guess I’m afraid I’ll miss something, or not portray it correctly.

Michigan holds so many memories for me. My mom grew up there and both my grandparents still live there, so we’ve made countless trips up there over the years; and I’ve loved every single one of them.

Hiking the Grand Canyon from rim to rim has been a dream of Lori’s and mine for a while now. Trips like that take a lot of planning and preparing, but you just have to go for them. It was such an incredible hike; filled with memories I won’t soon forget.

Lorianne and I recently returned from our 10 day road trip through the Southwest, and goodness it was a trip to remember! It was so fun traveling around with Lori; hiking, camping, and making spontaneous stops along the way.
