Best Vacation EVER

Get ready for a ridiculous amount of gorgeous pictures of nature at its finest!

 Day 1: Sunrise over the Grand Canyon

Day 2: Las Vegas

Day 3-5: Yosemite National Park 

He was hugging...not humping.  I swear.

 Mist Trail

Glacier Point

That double chin came out of the pure excitement looking upon this incredible view.

Mariposa Grove

California Tunnel Tree

Day 6-8: San Francisco

These next pictures were taken in Muir Woods outside of San Francisco.  It's also where scenes from Rise of the Planet of the Apes were filmed!

And last but not least...the Majestic, Wondrous Golden Gate Bridge.  I LOVE San Francisco. 

Truth be told, this was quite possibly my favorite vacation ever.  I absolutely LOVE California.  The geography alone is enough to inspire me daily.  I am quite sad to be back even though I love my life here.  Sometimes I just wish I could have this same situation but in a different city. 

I thoroughly regret not taking more pictures in San Francisco but the majority of the pictures I took there were on my phone because it was just so much easier to take those than to bust out the SLR.  I know, I'm not a real blogger.  

By the way, thank God for my absolutely amazing sister for letting me borrow her Canon.  I simply ADORE her. 

I am sad to say that I didn't get any outfit shots.  I was too obsessed with all that was going on around me to even think about it.  Quite honestly, I'm glad I did forget cause I was having such an incredible time that I felt like I was actually appreciating every moment.

Anyhow, the weather in San Francisco was glorious, but I was in no way adequately covered up.  I ended up wearing the same outfit two days in a row simply because it was the warmest clothing I'd brought.  I'll definitely be prepared next time.  

Anyhow, it's time to get back to the real world...but that seriously might have been the best vacation ever.

First of all, huge thanks to my husband for taking these pictures. Secondly, HUGE thanks to my sister for letting me borrow her Canon for our road trip.

We're headed out in just a bit and I'm ready to listen some good music, see some amazing sights, and have an all around amazing time.  

I'll hopefully be updating as much as I can!

Home is Where

My brother, dad, sister and I singing some Eisley.

My sister said I looked like an 80's rock star in this outfit and I'm perfectly ok with that.

I love my BWF.  

The best days of my life seem to happen when their spent in San Antonio with close family and friends. It usually also involves good, fat food and good music.  Yesterday was amazing.  

We went to church, survived lunch despite being rained on since we ate on the patio, my sister and my future sister in law went thrift shopping, we had our lovely friends over for dinner and we finished the night out by going to see Prometheus.

It was an extremely overwhelming day that was filled with such love and inspired me to appreciate all I have.  So I'm thankful to have spent some time in San Antonio with Austin's family, celebrating one of my best friends future marriage and enjoying time with my family as well.  

Life is so very good on vacation and now that we're in Port Aransas, I can't wait to show you all the lovely pictures my sister Carisa took.  She is the extremely talented photographer who took all of these pictures and she'll be taking my outfit pictures for the week (against her will, of course.)
