Last week we talked all about wanderlust and all of the beautiful places in the world that are on my bucket list. Ireland is high in the ranks right now. A few weeks ago, Will and I celebrated our anniversary by seeing Riverdance when it was in town. We were excited to go, but didn’t…

wanderlust: inspiration
Summer is here, and with it comes the season of vacations and travel for many people. I have already vicariously followed along on many of the foreign and road trips that pop up in my Instagram feed and, while I wish I was there too, it is so fun to see the photos. With so…
charleston, south carolina
A few weeks ago Will had his big STEP 1 exam, had three days off then started with clinical orientation and rotations last week. We knew that it could be typical in some rotations for medical students to work six days a week, and those three days off might be our last shot at a…
smith mountain lake
When we went up to Blacksburg a few weeks ago to visit my sister and go to Virginia Tech’s homecoming game we stayed at some friend’s lake house on Smith Mountain Lake. I had never been to SML and we drove up in the dark so it was difficult to know where we were or what…
blacksburg, va
A few weekends ago, my family met up in Blacksburg, Virginia to visit my sister and go to Virginia Tech’s homecoming game against Duke. Virginia Tech in the fall is beautiful. The leaves on the trees join the football fans in donning their maroon and orange, and the grey gothic architecture combined with the chilly…

We laughed, caught up, walked (a lot), brunched, and ran the second largest inaugural half marathon in the world. Just a casual weekend ;) Here are some pictures from…
england part III: cambridge
While we were staying in London we took a day trip to Cambridge. Only a short train ride outside of London, Cambridge was a quaint, beautiful university town with gorgeous buildings lining the street and the River Cam. Below are some of our photos from the day, walking around town and punting on the river….
london part II: the boroughs
Are you ready for more of London?! During our time in London we made our way to many boroughs. It was amazing to see how different each area is. The pastel and white colored row houses in Notting Hill provide a much different atmosphere than the graffiti art covered streets of Brick Lane and East…
england part I: london’s main attractions
After our week in Scotland we journeyed on to London, England for another week of travel and exploration. London is such a huge city and we saw new sites and different boroughs every day. We mapped the attractions we saw each day by location, seeing the sites and neighborhoods that were in close proximity to each other…
scotland part III: the highlands and the end of edinburgh
During our time in Scotland we took a day trip to the Highlands. We hopped on a bus in Edinburgh at 8am and returned to the Royal Mile at 8pm. It was a long day of riding and sightseeing but all of the views were amazing and the trip turned out to be one of…
