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.

Sitting on the balcony drinking Welches Sparking Grape Juice (my drink of choice, don’t judge), watching the waves roll onto the beach, resting after a long bike ride through trails lined with tall pines…sounds like paradise! Our recent trip to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for our first anniversary exceeded expectations.

“There has been a murder in Savannah…I do declare!” Sorry, The Office quote…couldn’t resist.

Savannah, Georgia! A place that has been on our list of places to visit for a while and we finally made it for our 1 year anniversary. We were just passing through, on our way to Hilton Head Island, but it was wonderful to walk around and explore the city.

Over Labor Day weekend Eric and I got to travel up to Richmond, Virginia for a family wedding (I love love!). Since we were so close to Washington D.C. we opted to take a day trip up there to explore, and let me tell you, it was awesome.
