Northwest Arkansas has quickly become one of my favorite places to explore. Thorncrown Chapel had been on my list to visit since before the move from Texas, so I’m glad finally had a chance to head that way recently.
I definitely spent more time being awed by the space than taking photos of it.
During my December travels, I had the opportunity to stop by the “wrong way” cemetery in Rayne, Louisiana for a little gloomy morning wandering.
Unlike every other Christian cemetery in the country, the graves face north-south, rather than east-west. As if that wasn’t fascinating enough, it was also my first experience with above-ground crypts. #spooky
As much as I love a fully planned, adventure filled trip, it’s nice to have some time to do nothing. Part of the birthday trip shenanigans included time for Air Bnb breakfast, plus time to shoot with Elizabeth (because of course) and it couldn’t have been a nicer morning if we tried.
Having a late December birthday is the best because I get a few extra days to settle into my newest self before the year begins. 2020, and more importantly 28, looks like taking up space, choosing to swim instead of sink, and being more tired, but never more true of heart.
In what will be a shocking turn of events for no one, Cadillac Ranch made the list for yet another hometown tour with a couple of humans I love. Somehow I convinced two more rowdy babes to make the trek to Amarillo with me for a weekend, and many shenanigans ensued (as expected), including this stylish pilgrimage.
I read something the other day about how the average person moves 11.7 times in their life. That sounds like a lot, but is pretty accurate based on my own life. Thanks to the size of Texas, I can’t even say that moving states has been the longest distance move I’ve made.
The cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde are absolutely mind boggling. I vaguely remember visiting them on a school trip when I was in the 5th grade, so I jumped at the chance to visit again on the way home from Moab.
It was getting late in the day, and a few of the areas were closed off due to recent damage, so I didn't get to explore as much as I would have liked. All the more reason to head back that way ASAP.
