The Yucatan Peninsula is known for its deep culture and history, as well as its breathtaking Caribbean sunsets. I was inspired by both when I visited Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico during the spring of 2009. As we neared the coast of Playa del Carmen, my senses began to explore the beauty and tranquility of the tropical beaches. The warmth of the sun mingled with the cool saltwater, glistening across the waves and creating the perfect playground for the native sea birds along the docks.
Fun Trip to Grand Cayman
In March of 2009, my husband and I took a Caribbean cruise that included a visit to the Grand Cayman Island. The colorful island infrastructure greeted us as we approached the coastline to begin our adventure.
When we arrived on land, we were surrounded by bustling shops and the savory smells of Caribbean cuisine. Unfortunately, we only had about 2 hours to explore the island before departing for our Stingray City excursion.

We drove to Retford, which is a small market town with Victorian-inspired architecture. Here, we spent some time with family, soaking up the city and sights. I captured pictures of the majestic gardens, flowers, birds, lakes and even a rainbow! (more…)

At the time of the trip, my husband and I were still dating so the trip allowed me to get better acquainted with his family. (more…)

In May of 2011, we were very excited to visit the Harkness State Park in Connecticut. The park and botanical gardens are made up of a sprawling 230 acres located on the Long Island Sound. It was a gorgeous sunny morning in spring, and one of the most peaceful and beautiful places I’ve visited. It’s surrounded by trees bursting with color, green grass, vibrant dandelions and plenty of seating areas.
