summer = MIA


one of the things i love the most about summer is the sense of sponteneity that arrives with the season. weekend getaways? sure! a long weekend at the beach or the lake? why not! visiting family and friends all over the US? summer is the time to do it!

much of my summer has been spent on the road, and most recently, in the air! weekends at the lake, weekends in culpeper with john, beach vacations in hatteras, weekends with extended family in delaware & north carolina-- i have been very busy! the corolla and i have been weekend warriors together, trekking all over the place in search of loved ones to make memories with.

so, let me backtrack a bit to the weekend of july 20th.the following pictures were taken behind john's house in culpeper, va. as you can tell, john lives on a HUGE farm (i believe it's 500+ acres) in the small town of culpeper. after eating dinner at a local greasy spoon one night, john & i decided to do a little photo shoot in the beauty that is his backyard. enjoy!


John with his dog, Sadie
(this is John's backdoor-- check out how old his place is!)


Sadie Lou is certainly not scared of heights!
