My best friend Alex and I had always dreamed of traveling together, and when I got married, I thought that dream had surely died. Ha. Turns out married people still hang out with other people besides their spouse...like all the time. So when Alex bought a flight out to NC to visit our friend Chrissy for cheap, I hopped right on that bandwagon.
So alas, Garrett and I spent 6 months of being married on separate vacations. Each of us fulfilling dreams that need to stay alive, even inside of marriage. So off I flew to NC and off he drove to Kentucky to go backpacking for a few days.
Here are some highlights:
 |
| Happy Feet. A day spent at the beach for Alex's birthday. The first birthday of either of us that we have celebrated together in many years of being friends. It consisted of fresh fruit, mimosas, sun burns, and lots of pictures. |
 |
| New apartment decor and Nasa. I looked at cards and posters just like this one for probably a full hour before I made my decisions. Because you never regret spending too much money on cards for people. |
 |
| The hostess with the mostest. |
 |
| Durham: these cute little cars with amazingingly designed hardwood stores. Because, why not? |
 |
| Hiking at Eno's State Park. Because when you live in Durham, there are amazing trails only 10 minutes from your house. It's totally casual. |
 |
| To the most refreshing two people on the planet. Thank you for renewing my soul, refilling my mimosa, and reaffirming my hope in humanity. May the sun shine on your summer plans always...but don't forget the sunscreen. |
