Cross country roadtrip

I got to spend most of the summer back in CA, which was amazing! I got to see so many cool things on my drive! My favorite thing was probably the Arches national park in Moab, Utah! We also saw the Arch in St Louis, Austin TX, the graveyards in New Orleans, and got to go hiking in Asheville! It was A LOT of time in the car but a great experience!!

Outer banks

I have been lucky enough to travel to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for work. It is one of my favorite things about this state. There isn't a whole lot to do up there but the beaches are gorgeous! There is even a beach with wild horses! It was a dream come true to see them!! There are also several giant light houses, which I have always been fascinated with.

Charleston

Charleston, South Carolina is a cute southern town that we enjoy visiting. It is about a 3-4 hour drive from Wilmington. It has that southern charm along with great restaurants and shopping. Its a fun weekend adventure (and it is also where the notebook was filmed). 

The Architecture everywhere is so awesome! It is a very fun place to photograph, there is something scenic and different around each corner!

I realized I have not updated this blog in forever!!! Since my last post I have been enjoying visiting new places in the south, decided that I am ready to move back to the West Coast, got engaged to the love of my life, and am braving another deployment! Life is never boring here!

Over Christmas AJ and I took a cruise to the Bahamas and Key West! It was SO much fun!!! As beautiful as it was to see the resorts, It was also so cool to get to see some of the culture. In Nassau, they were having a celebratory/religious parade that they have twice a year. Those costumes were heavy and it was SO hot outside!

In Freeport we took a boat to a Dolphin swim. The scenery was go beautiful and the people intrigue me. I loved the look of this man below! 

Swimming with the dolphins was absolutely amazing and something I would do again in a heartbeat! They are incredible creatures!
