Arches National Park is one of the "Mighty Five" parks in Utah. ๐Ÿ—ป I went to all 5 of these parks with my family on a road trip, and you can read my crazy detailed itinerary on my website (link in bio)! ๐ŸŒ

Have you been to any of the parks in Utah? ๐Ÿ‘‡

I was looking through photos from my 3 weeks in southeast Asia ๐ŸŒ and even though most of them aren't "Instagram style", it was still an amazing travel experience, and I decided "too bad I'm gonna share a few anyways"! ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ My husband had a DSLR camera even back then, so thankfully we have a lot of great high quality photos from that trip! ๐Ÿ“ธ

((PS If you're wondering about my strange choice of fashion, ๐Ÿคช I was wearing a sleeveless sundress,but to visit this sacred site in Bali I had to put a sarong on to cover my legs, and a little shawl to cover my arms ๐Ÿ™))

Anyone else have tons of photos from travels, but before the days of social media? ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด Happy (belated) birthday to my husband Jo ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด Happy (belated) birthday to my husband John! ๐Ÿ’ Travel was one of the first things we bonded over when we met at a college party in Lexington, and I've loved all our adventures over the years ๐ŸŒ

This was taken right after we got engaged! Before we got engaged, we'd been dating for over 4 years. I had casually mentioned several times all my criteria for my dream proposal, and he made it happen ๐Ÿฅฐ

I told him:

๐Ÿ’™1) It needs to be a cool, memorable location- preferably in another country! โœˆ๏ธ

๐Ÿ’™2) You need to talk to my Dad first and get his blessing to propose ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

๐Ÿ’™3) I would love a surprise engagement party afterwards ๐ŸŽ‰ (he actually did surprise me with me one after we flew back home)

๐Ÿ’™4) You better get down on one knee or I'm saying no ๐Ÿ˜œ

Here's the proposal story, if you wanna know: ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

๐Ÿงณ We were on a two week backpacking trip through Colombia. Near the last day of the trip, we rode horses on this insane humid jungle trail. ๐ŸŽ I was so sweaty and irritated that when we got to this beautiful beach an hour later, I was whining about getting in the water immediately. ๐ŸŒด John insisted I should wait until we took a photo first (because "my hair would look bad if I got it wet" ๐Ÿ˜‚), and I conceded. He set up the tripod, and while I thought we were just taking a photo, he popped the question! ๐Ÿ’ 

Of course now we always joke about how bad of a mood I was in right before the proposal. That's life for you I guess! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

This famous walled city is growing in popularity, and in the summer it can be insane crowded and hot. ๐Ÿฅต Even though it's crowded, and every place jacked up their prices, is it still worth visiting? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Absolutely!!

What to do with 1-2 days in this UNESCO heritage city? ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ
...
๐ŸŒŽ Walk the city walls for epic views
๐ŸŒŽ Explore the narrow streets and alleys, and walk the main "Stradun" for live music 
๐ŸŒŽ Take the chairlift above the city for an incredible view! 
๐ŸŒŽ Rent a kayak and explore the nearby caves, and swim in the salty Adriatic
๐ŸŒŽ Take a boat to Lokrum Island and see the peacocks ๐Ÿฆš
๐ŸŒŽ Take part in a historical walking tour (learning about the city during the war in the '90's is really interesting)
๐ŸŒŽ Relax on one of many nearby beaches!
...
Croatia is such a gem ๐Ÿ’Ž. This country has loads to see. Outside of this particular city, it is really not crowded or "touristy". If you haven't been, get yourself there! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I'm ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿป๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒฎ, which I feel like accurately describes my life. 

That's all I got today you guys. I'm running low on photos to recycle ๐Ÿ˜…, so enjoy a throwback of when I was young, tan, and 30 pounds lighter (ha. but seriously. Baby weight I hate you ๐Ÿฅบ).

So, if you knew it was fake right away, how did you know? The shadows? Or, did I trick you with my skillZ ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ˜ฌ
