Some of our dear friends got married last July in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It was my first destination wedding, and it was phenomenal. We flew out on a Thursday afternoon and returned on Sunday afternoon which felt like the perfect amount of time. I visited Eureka Springs a couple times when I lived in Oklahoma. …
If you haven't read my previous post here, you may want to dig into that one first. If you've already read it, I've updated it with a few more photos from Malcolm's phone. On days 3 - 5, we went whale watching and saw about 30 humpbacks. We kayaked in the bay the next day …

I solo traveled to places like Chicago, Seattle, and Vancouver BC, to name a few of my favorites. I discovered when traveling solo, I have a …
Currently Malcolm and I are exploring southern Colorado. He goes to Cortez, CO every now and then for work, and this time I tagged along. The drive down was absolutely gorgeous.
