Almost every summer we drive to midwest to visit f Almost every summer we drive to midwest to visit family. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, so we try to vacation there often. However, with little kids, we don’t usually adventure into the Windy City itself. We were overdue for a big city experience, so after our visits with family and friends, we stayed downtown for two nights. None of us had ever seen Cloud Gate, or what is more commonly known as “The Bean”. After we first inadvertently stopped at the nearby Crown Fountain and got soaking wet (I’ll have to post pics of that later), we loved playing around this giant bean-shaped mirror. It didn’t take long for the kids to wear down despite my pleas for more photos. But we loved the whole thing! Tip: Even if your whole family is opposed, get to the Bean early in the morning. Why? No crowds, no heat, no harsh light, and no dirty handprints everywhere. We will have to go back so I can get better photos! But these were still fun!
I’m slowly working my way through my summer vaca I’m slowly working my way through my summer vacation photos. It felt so good to visit family and friends whom we hadn’t seen in a long time. Here are some of my favorites of G and his younger cousin during our midwest trip. These two had a blast together. G loved having someone younger and more his size to wrestle and play with all day. It was a needed change from constantly being with his two older sisters!
It’s Friday! My family made it through the first It’s Friday! My family made it through the first week of school and everyone is so happy. Fingers crossed that in-person school can continue safely. The kids love the social engagement and new challenges. I love the quiet house to think clearly and prepare for a productive fall photo season. We all have a lot more balance in our lives now, so it’s a win-win for everyone! True, we had a wonderful summer full of swimming and traveling (I can’t wait to share some pics from our trips). We saw so many family members for the first time in two years. Part of me didn’t want summer to end. But I’m also ready for the wonderful weeks ahead, if only the humidity would back off a bit. Have a great weekend! Oh - I usually prefer being behind the camera, but this is one photo I love where I’m actually in front of it (although still technically behind a camera - ha!). Taken by the talented Adria Michelle Photography during a personal branding session with some photographer friends back in May. I love the rainbow flare in this image! I can’t wait to share more of their work little by little over the next few months. 📷: @adria.michelle
I’m having a lot of fun here on the big island i I’m having a lot of fun here on the big island in Hawaii. Our family joined my husband’s side the family for a big vacation. The last time we all got together was at a state park in Indiana in 2017, so this trip to Kona has been pretty amazing. One of my favorite parts was encountering this sea turtle 🐢 while snorkeling at Two Step. I love sea turtles so much and I’m so happy I could swim with this cutie while testing out our GoPro. I must say that this little camera is amazing! This is my first time experimenting with underwater photography. It definitely has a learning curve but it’s so fun!
Hope everyone had a great 4th! We had some fun wi Hope everyone had a great 4th! We had some fun with sparklers here. We can’t wait to do it again on Saturday when the City of Alexandria celebrates its birthday with more fireworks! Alexandria is 272 years old while the USA is 245.
