This weekend to celebrate Father’s Day my family was in search of a fun and free thing to do.
A little outside of an hour away from Birmingham on the beautiful Lake Martin we went to the Alexander City Jazz Fest.
The progression of the sunset was beautiful!
The moon was beautiful as well.
Who needs Bonnaroo, we got to see St. Paul and The Broken Bones, an amazing band from right down 280 in Birmingham.
Oh and no super expensive ticket, FOR FREE.
When it comes to traveling, it never hurts to be prepared.
You can look on Pintrest all day long for traveling tips, but I thought it would be great to have all of the information in one place.
You are going to this super cool place, but you only have a week there and you want to make sure you make the most of your trip.
That’s where an itinerary comes in handy.
The city that never sleeps.
For my graduation trip from high school I chose to go to The Big Apple.
You see NYC in the movies and tv shows, but you have to see this city for yourself.
Here are some shots around NYC:
St. Patrick’s Cathedral was so beautiful. We got to attend mass the Sunday we were in town.
The nation’s capital, where you can be surrounded by history.
Here are some shots around DC:
Arlington National Cemetery is the top of my list of places to go in DC. It is a perfect place to pay your respects to those who died serving our country.
Beautiful balconies with flowers and plants accenting the rod iron.
New Orleans is one of my favorite places in the entire world.
From family trips around Christmas time to a couple fraternity formals, the Big Easy has various activities for any lifestyle.
Here are some shots around NOLA:
New Orleans is home to my favorite NFL team, The Saints. Who dat.
Adventuring around leads to great experiences.
You have pictures that remind you of your trip, but my aunt started a great tradition that I picked up.
My friends make fun of me (as they should), that I am a 19 year old that collects magnets like an old lady.
Little do they know, I have a cool plan for these magnets so I can remember all my fun trips.
Today I got to celebrate Memorial Day at American Village in Montevallo, Ala.
Today is a day of remembrance, of all the great soldiers that have served our country, indeed Freedom isn’t free.
Here are some shots around the recreation of a colonial village:
This past January I was lucky enough to fly out to LA to see my Auburn Tigers play in the National Championship game.
We adventured around LA and Pasadena.
Then after I was stuck in LA due to flight cancellations, I adventured around Hollywood and Manhattan Beach with the four random Auburn fans I flew back with (since I flew across the country by myself)
Here are some shots around LA // Pasadena // Manhattan Beach:
And yes, I did have Yellowcard’s “Ocean Avenue” song stuck in my head that day.
It’s time to adventure around.
Today I adventured around my own hometown, Birmingham, Ala.
Birmingham has a nickname, “Boringham” but today, it was anything but boring.
Here are some shots around downtown:
We went to Pepper Place downtown and got a pretty summer bouquet.
