Celebrating Our Second Wedding Anniversary in OBX, NC

August sipped away like a bottle of wine (Welch’s Sparkling Red Grape Juice for me)… and so did our second wedding anniversary. To celebrate two years married, Alex and I took an extended weekend road trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina where we rented a cozy, newly renovated beach house and spent time exploring the many beautiful places along the scenic North Carolina Highway 12 and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. We spent our mornings with the rising sun, logged many miles on our feet, visited the remote Ocracoke Island by ferry, stumbled upon a couple cute coffee and ice cream shops, opened our wedding box, and r&r’d our weekend away. It was the best of times!

Snapshots from Our California Vacation (LA, Malibu, Santa Monica, and More!)

So it goes, I’m months behind on sharing vacation photos again (oops). Though it’s been six months since I toured the Los Angeles, California area with my mom, dad, and my mom’s family, I couldn’t resist writing a post and sharing photos of beautiful coastal California. I really, really enjoyed my first trip to the Pacific coast, and I’m already California dreaming about the next one. Here’s a little recap for you — along with 25 of my favorite snapshots from our travels.
