Here’s the last bit of New Zealand trip documentation—a bunch of random video clips we took along the way! Spoiler alert: How adorable are those ducklings? Our last morning in NZ we sadly packed up our things and prepared to leave Lake Tekapo and head home. When we opened the campervan door we found a row [...]
Here’s another batch of New Zealand trip photos—down to fjordland and up through central South Island. Can you believe how beautiful and varied this place is? Unbelievable! We unknowingly visited when the lupines were in full bloom—field after field of sweet smelling lupines. I made Daniel pull over constantly so I could wade through them. [...]
Here’s the next batch of photos from our New Zealand trip—farther inland to beautiful lakes, rolling green hills, and snow capped mountains. I miss it already! I’m hoping to have a fun post for you on Christmas day, so don’t forget to stop by! (1 Franz Josef Glacier, 2–3 Lake Matheson, 4–6 Lake Hawea, 7 [...]

I promised to share my vacation photos, so here they are. Sorry there are so many, but I just couldn’t narrow it down any further! Reykjavík, Svartifoss in [...]

Here are some photos from our trip to the Caribbean last week. We had a great time! I had a lot of “firsts” during the trip—first time snorkeling, first time holding an armadillo, first time swimming in clear sea water, first time on a cruise ship, first time using my passport with my married name, first [...]
