SUMMER VACATION - 2021

This summer, we planned to vacation at the mountain house that we usually stay at in Boone, NC. There was some last minute conflicts that caused us to adjust our plans slightly. I did a quick look on AirBNB and found a cute cabin in Blue Ridge, Georgia. We've never been to Blue Ridge, Georgia before, but we were pleasantly surprised by how great the location was…

POWDER HORN MOUNTAIN - 2020

Last year was challenging for our family. It was full of adjustment to new things we’ve never experienced. We worked hard, pulled lots of all-nighters, and gave everything we had to sustain our family through our own business.

WANDERINGS IN JOSHUA TREE - CA

We made our way through the winding roads of the park, stopping as much as possible to record the beauty. Each cactus was so unique telling its own story. As I looked around at the open landscape of the desert, I could literally see for miles. The rays of the setting sun turned the desert colors into a visual symphony...
