Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Our final two dives in Belize were fantastic. We dove the cliffs of two atolls. It is odd going up over the edge of coral and one moment you are swimming in turquoise water and directly on the other side is dark deep blue with no points of reference. I loved it and would do
Title: The Girl in the TowerAuthor: Katherine ArdenPublication Date: 2018Publishing House: Del Rey This book, where to start? I loved it and could not pit it down. The Girl in the Tower begins like an epic in a way – in medias res – before going back and showing the events that lead to that
Summer 2019 has been pretty amazing. Not only did I get engaged to the love of my life but I’ve been on some pretty fantastic trips too. We started the summer off right Memorial Day weekend with a trip down to Fredericksburg and were able to visit some fantastic state parks: Old Tunnel State Park
If you can’t tell from this blog I really enjoy making things from scratch and I did a lot of baking and prepping last weekend. In addition to making more pickles (some are spicy this batch) and banana bread I decided to try my hand at making granola. This is a fruit and nut granola

It has been a while since I have been to a street festival and one of my favorite ones is finally here! I really like GrapeFest because it gives me the chance to try wines that I wouldn’t typically buy along with wondering the festival and listening to a variety of live music. This year

There are a variety of items on all adventures’ bucket lists and for a diver having gotten a chance to dive the second largest barrier reef in the world was defiantly an item checked off the list. Getting to dive the Blue Hole the next day was icing on the cake and another great bucket
