First dinner, then the batting cages, and then the weekend of my birthday we went parasailing! Another thing crossed off our bucket list! I was terrified at first, but a few minutes after we got all the way up, I started...

Charlottesville, Va - June 2013

Saturday, June 28, 2014
This trip was for our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. We decided instead of buying each other things, we'd spend it on a get away. So after Luray Caverns, we stayed the night in Charlottesville so that we can explore the city some more. Charlottesville is where UVA is located at (University of Virginia). The campus is definitely something I wasn't used to seeing. A...

Luray Caverns, Virginia - June 2013

Friday, June 27, 2014
The caverns were breathe taking! I thought I’d feel claustrophobic in there, but it was surprisingly very big and spacious! The drive to Luray was like driving to nowheresville! Lol! I loved the drive through the Shenandoah Valley, but after that I just went to sleep.  It was a little chilly when we got down to the caverns! It was about a 2 hour...

Our first time on a cruise! 5 days 4 nights on the Carnival Sensation. We drove to Port Canaveral, and whew! That was a long almost 12 hours drive! Totally worth it though!

New York, NY - December 2012

Saturday, June 21, 2014
Off to NYC we went again! This was my third visit to the city and I swear there's always something new to do. We went for New Years Eve with another couple (our housemates).

SUP! - July 2012

Friday, June 20, 2014
One of my birthday gifts from John in 2012 was some outdoors fun. We went Stand Up Paddleboarding for the first time! I forgot where we did it, but it was somewhere in Virginia Beach at the Oceanfront area. I think it was closer to where the light house is. Anyway, we did a 2 hour paddle board along a lake, which was...

Cedar Run / White Oaks Trail: 6.5 hours of hiking, waterfalls and natural water slides. It rained on us in the middle of our hike and for a few minutes we were lost and I was so scared because I didn't know if we’d make it out. It got so dark in the woods because of the clouds and rain. Branches were falling...

Colonial Williamsburg - August 2012

Tuesday, June 10, 2014
Took a trip to Colonial Williamsburg for the first time when my dad came to visit us. I felt like I traveled back to the 1800's or something! There were people in costumes, and a canon show. It was like being inside a history book for a quick moment!  ...

Took a quick day trip to the Outer Banks (OBX), North Carolina. It wasn't too far from where we lived, maybe an hour to an hour and half drive. We went during the spring so it wasn't as crowded as it would be if you went during the summer. We mainly stayed in the Corolla area. ...
