Key West… Day 1

Key West is a much longer road trip than I anticipated. I mean, I knew it would be a long drive. But I guess it didn’t exactly click exactly HOW long it would be hahaha. The nice thing though, is that we wanted to take our time and enjoy the trip. So we made stops, took turns driving, and had fun with it. We took pictures next to signs, except for Georgia because I was driving and Josh was sleeping and it was the middle of the night. We also stopped to watch a movie (Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, HILARIOUS) so we just had a bunch of fun.

Once we finished the stopping and started driving straight we eventually hit the bridges that take you from Florida to the Keys. Not going to lie, opening the window sometimes smelled horrible; swamplands… not a pleasant stench. But the view? Was BEAUTIFUL! I mean yeah you have the ocean to your left and your right. But you also have the clouds and they looked amazing. I set up the GoPro as a dash cam to get some of the bridges and road for you.

 

And Finally in the end. We get to the cottage that will be our home for the next week. We will be spending most of our days here together. Relaxing, spending time together. Its absolutely fairytale. The entrance the sheer curtains on the porch, the quaint and yet perfect pool. Everything about this is beautiful and lovely. There’s even chickens and roosters randomly roaming across the streets. Shop owners put out bowls of water for them. They’re so cute. I apologize, these photos below were all taken with my phone so the quality’s not perfect.

My Home Away From Home

I realize that by now you must be sick of seeing pictures of the mountains in Tennessee. I make multiple posts a year I know. But you have to understand. I never get tired of seeing these mountains. They have a certain comforting effect on me. The mountains, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Parrot Mountain, I can never wait to see these places.

 

So sorry for another mountain post. I promise I’ll have new stuff in  few months. And besides this time around I have some new faces. Future sister-in-law is a budding photographer herself, but she doesn’t particularly like being in the pictures……. oops.

The Smokies

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to everyone! I just got back home from the mountains. The good ol’ Smokies. I have been to these mountains in Tennessee but never had a chance to go through and take pictures of the scenic route. It’s been a long day today. A lot of driving.

7… the number of hours I was in a car.

340… number of miles from my apartment to Knoxville,

and…

43… the total number of SEMI trucks I had to pass before getting home. I don’t like semi-trucks. They are road hogs that take up the entire high-way. But I am home now. All’s well. And I’m exhausted.

 

Enjoy the pictures.
