From the moment I landed in Rome, I experienced, the sound of the lilting Italian language, the June heat on my skin, the smell of summer and witnessed a beautiful sunset on the way to central Rome. I was in love.

Paris: Street Lamps
The street lamps in Paris are works of art in and of themselves. I loved shooting between the narrow alleyways and up these lanterns.
Rockport, MA
My favorite part about living in the city is that we can drive to a different town and beach at any moment because it's close enough to not feel like too many hours in the car, but far enough to feel like we've gotten away for a day.

Savannah: Squares and Surroundings
There are twenty-two squares in the city of Savannah. The layout of these squares began with just four squares in 1733, expanding as a grid in the city with each being named in honor of a historic figure or event.
Savannah: Wormsloe Plantation
Definitely at the top of my list of places to visit in Savannah was the Wormsloe Plantation.
Savannah: Alex Raskin Antiques
In gorgeous, historic Savannah, every square is surrounded by regal, magnificent homes, rich in architecture and the promise of great stories to tell.

Whale Watching, Cape Ann
“Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider, once more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began. "
― Herman Melville, Moby Dick
I've never been whale watching before, so when my sister got all of us tickets for my birthday in July, I was BEYOND thrilled about the prospect!
It's incredible that we're able to venture out, far out, into the Atlantic ocean, where deep, DEEP waters hide these wondrous creatures and if you're lucky you get to hang with the whales for a bit. How awesome is that? I can't even...
They.are.amazing.
Smooth, gentle, ENORMOUS. I felt very small. We all did.
Come with me to Gloucester, Massachusetts where we set off from Cape Ann one early morning...
Vancouver: Aquarium
I enjoy the aquarium...it's as close to snorkeling, surfing and swimming with the dolphins as I'll ever get.
I prefer a thick plate of glass between myself and these wonderous creatures.
Here, a night at the beautiful Vancouver Aquarium.
Vancouver: Capilano Suspension Bridge
I used to be terrified of heights, but have been overcoming my fear with rollercoasters, rock-climbing and now, traipsing over the Capilano Suspension Bridge in British Columbia (also the longest and highest suspension bridge in the world)!
It was a lot sturdier than I thought, and our little introductory tour of the site helped...especially knowing that it's no longer made out of hemp rope and cedar planks!
The Capilano (First Nations name Kia'palano, meaning "beautiful river") bridge crosses over the Capilano River, 70 metres (230 ft) above and 140 metres (460 ft) across, and has since been rebuilt with steel cables anchored into 114 tons of concrete. They say it can carry 1333 people.
But it still sways. Very much, so.
(Too bad Instagram video didn't exist a couple of weeks ago, that would have been perfect!)
The new edition to the other end of the bridge is the Treetop Adventure, various smaller suspension bridges created in 2004 that allow you to trek through the trees with a birds-eye view of all the beautiful age-old greenery that Vancouver is known for. It started raining a little, but we couldn't even tell for the lush canopy overhead.
