In February 2020, just weeks before the world seemed to shut down over night, I escaped to the Florida Keys for an extended weekend of sunshine and relaxation at the beautiful Isla Bella Resort & Spa.
Last August we had the incredible opportunity to travel to the island of Oahu. We spent about a week and half exploring this beautiful island with the first part of our trip spent on the North Shore and the second part spent at Aulani, a Disney Resort. & Spa.
Of course my favorites souvenir from any trip are the images we take a long the way. It was an absolutely joy to relive this trip through our vacation photos and I hope it brings you as much joy as it brings me.
Today is the third installment of our 10th Anniversary Trip to the United Kingdom!! If you’re just stopping by, this past July we celebrated 10 years of marriage with an unforgettable trip to London & Scotland. If you missed it, you can check out PART 1 and PART 2! Today we’re finishing our trip with our last day on the Isle of Skye, Edinburgh and a short jaunt back to London before we left for home. Highlights include sheep (lots of sheep!), scenic views and hairy “heilan coos”!!
Sharing these images have been an incredibly fun way to relive our trip — which went by in the blink of an eye — just yesterday we were asking “Did we even go away?” It’s crazy how you can plan and plan for a trip and then it’s here before you know it.
The last and final installment of our trip series I will be sharing where we ate, some of our favorite things and a quick review of our hotels and experiences. If you’re planning a trip to the United Kingdom in the future, specifically London & Scotland, you won’t want to miss that post!!
Today, enjoy some of our favorite images (and memories) of the trip in PART 3. Questions about our trip? Feel free to share them in the comments!!
I’ve been trying and trying to narrow down my favorites from our recent trip to the United Kingdom — Scotland is proving to be extraordinarily hard!! I mean I just cannot pair down the amount of beauty that is the land of Scotland, there’s just SO much to share!! So instead of the planned single post for Scotland I’ve broken it down into two postings. The first being today!!
(If you’d like to see PART I of our 10th Anniversary Trip to the United Kingdom, click here.)
We started our journey in Scotland by arriving via the super speed train from London to Edinburgh’s Waterloo Station. Immediately upon arriving street level we heard bag pipes playing in the distance. Talk about perfection!! Edinburgh is just as you might imagine, filled with character and history. We adored Edinburgh, the sandstone buildings, the medieval history, the people, the charm. We had been told that Edinburgh is a unique and magical place and it was incredible to experience it first hand.
Following our first night in the city we set out to the Isle of Skye and the Scottish Highlands via Rabbies Trail Burners. I cannot speak more highly of this company and our experience with Rabbies (you can read my quick review here). What followed were three days of beautiful scenery, history and Scottish charm. It left such an impression on us and we absolutely cannot wait to return. The Isle of Skye in particular is like a different world and we loved exploring the popular (and off the beaten track) scenic vistas.
In today’s post I’ll be sharing a bit of Ediburgh Castle long with the first half of our trip to the Highlands (you’ll even catch our first sighting of a “hairy heilan coo”!!) In PART III I’ll share more of the Highlands and finish out our trip to lovely Scotland. When can we go back?!
It has been a dream of mine to visit Nantucket Island. I’ve lived in Massachusetts my whole life and yet had never visited this coastal oasis. When our good friends shared they would visit the East Coast in May we decided now would be the perfect time to make the trek to Nantucket!
I wasn’t prepared for just how perfect Nantucket would be. Grey shuttered houses, creeping rose vines, white picket fences. It was almost more than my nautical New England loving heart could handle. If you are a fan of history, timeless style and that welcoming charm New England is famous for, then Nantucket needs to be at the top of your travel list.
The City That Has Stollen My Heart I had been told that we would love the city of Charleston but I was not prepared for just how this city would steal a piece of my heart. But then again, Charleston has a way of doing that…with it’s southern charm and inviting personality Charleston is a […]
It’s a busy week around here! I had a portrait session in Newport, Rhode Island today, I’m modeling for a workshop in Connecticut tomorrow, I have a wedding on Friday and Saturday and I’m finishing off the week with an engagement at Ocean House in Rhode Island on Sunday! I’m tired already;) Last week I […]
