MASSACHUSETTS PHOTO DIARY 

Hello pals, today I'm here to bring you another post on my traveling adventures. About two weeks ago I was able to take a little vacation to Massachusetts where the lovely Casey is going to school! 

I've featured her on the blog in this DAY DATE POST and also in this GET HER LOOK POST so make sure to check those out too!

Anyway I had an absolutely marvelous time with Casey not only because I was able to see her, but also because she knows me so well and knew everywhere I would want to see. I was a little bad at taking my camera out to take pictures everywhere we went, but I do not care because I was living in the moment and that is something I have a hard time doing on a day to day basis! So most of my favorite things I did/saw weren't captured in pictures, however, I did manage to pull my camera out a few times and grab some photos for you all! I wanted to take a little time to thank Casey so much for everything she did for me, and I also wanted to thank Arwa and Zigga for being the sweetest humans I've ever met! 

Without further ado, 

Welcome to Massachusetts!

Yes, you read that right; A craft center right in the middle of campus. I totally fell in love with the UMASS, Amherst campus. 

Just some words of wisdom...bring rain gear if you're heading up in that region, friends. 

But hey, did you really go to Massachusetts if it didn't rain and your umbrella stayed right side in the whole time? I think not. 

I don't think many of you know this, but sewing is guilty pleasure of mine so this little section gave me such a full heart! 

Our first stop on our day trip to Boston was a walk through China Town!

I absolutely adore all the different types of architecture throughout this beautiful city! 

I took this photo while sitting on the biggest swing I've ever sat upon. That was a good moment. 

Anybody recognize this? 

I can't explain how good our mac and cheese was. Casey got hers with buffalo chicken mixed in and I got ham in mine! DELICIOUS!!!

I feel so comfortable in any kind of big city setting. Being surrounded by buildings and people and life in general is just a great feeling. 

Our last stop on our day trip to Boston was to get a cannoli. This was a first for me! Although this photo quality isn't the best the quality of the cannoli was definitely great! 

That's all for this travel diary folks! 

Although these photos were only from two days of my trip I hope you got a little idea of what I was up to. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to go stay with Casey, meet wonderful humans, and see new things! 

If you ever get a chance I definitely recommend going to Northampton, Massachusetts and taking a stroll around there! Such a cute little place. 

Remember to step outside of your comfort zone a live a little!

Happy Traveling, loves!

HELEN GEORGIA PHOTO DIARY

This was one of our first stops on the trip to Helen Georgia for Hannah's birthday!

At the 2nd vintage shop we stopped at I managed to snag a few really great things. I found a magazine all about the American Heritage of the 1920's! I even snagged a white tray I've been dying to have for my room and the fact that this one had vintage character made it even better!

When we got into Helen, one of the first places we stopped was in this cute little grocery store called Betty's Country Store! Essentially the market was like a little baby Trader Joe's and they had all of the wonderful things a grocery store could have. I forgot to take a picture of the 1lb. no-bake cookie I bought so here is a picture of all the coffee beans!

One of the last places we stopped in Helen was the Troll Tavern! We all ordered great food and had a good time just hanging out and being family! 

Well friends, I'm sorry about the lack of photos for this travel diary, but we all were having such a great time together I didn't pull my phone out at all, and my camera wasn't really on my mind either. I wanted to thank Caleb's family for being so sweet to me and always loving me like their own! 

Also, I want to wish Hannah a late happy birthday because I don't think I ever did that!

If any of you ever get the chance to go to Helen I highly recommend it for a day trip. They have great food, friendly people, and the most interesting little shops. 

Thanks for popping in,

Paige (:

Day Date

Hello Humans! 

Two weeks back Caleb and I went on a double date with Landon and Casey. 
We started our day in the botanical gardens of Clemson and that night we went out to eat. I managed to grab some pictures at the gardens so here they are. 

It's such a marvelous place to go for hiking, picnicking and even a small little get away from reality. 

Enjoy!

Stay tuned for more blog posts over the christmas break, friends. (:

COLORADO PHOTO DIARY

The photo above is from the first stop on our way up to the top of Pikes Peak. That was a great adventure, so I think I will start this photo diary with more photos from the rest of that day. 

Our first stop on our way to the top was at this beautiful lake. There was also a gift shop, so I got my little sister a little teddy bear wearing a Pikes Peak shirt. She loved it!

When we got to the top of Pikes Peak the view was amazing. We packed out lunches for the day, so we sat around and looked at the view while we ate. Caleb is holding his sandwich up in the picture above. lol

This was my outfit for the ride up the mountain. Let me know if you guys want a full post on what I wore!

On the way back down the mountain so the boys could fish. The spot was so peaceful! It was fun for the guys, and relaxing for the girls. Perfect Spot!

The guys did a lot of fishing over the course of our trip, but I'd have to say Caleb was the fishing champ. (:

One day we went up and explored the ski town of Breckenridge, and I got a tattoo! The bow and arrow is a Native american symbol for the beginning of peace, so I thought it was very fitting for me trying to deal with my anxiety. 

I snapped this picture on the way to the Denver airport to fly home. We definitely weren't ready to leave. 

If you guys ever get the chance to go anywhere in Colorado I would definitely recommend it! It's gorgeous and so peaceful. The air is just so clear. I love it!! We all had such a great trip, and Caleb and I can't wait to go back. Thanks for looking through my little photo diary. (: 

Stay tuned for more,

Paige

TENNESSEE PHOTO DIARY

the mile walk

I bought these rad joggers from the Rue 21 sale rack while I was up here. They're super comfy (:

Caleb and I went on a cute little mile long walk around a small nature area where part of the civil war occurred. Ironically it was such a peaceful place to be. 

antique shop stop

This adorable shop was set up in booths and each booth was owned by a different vendor. They were all filled with the cutest antiques and refurbished vintage items. I can't wait to have a place of my own one day to decorate with furniture like this. 

This was in one of the booths and I fell in love with the way the books were displayed with odds and ends like the radio and the animals. There was a book that was labeled 383 ways to entertain a child. I found it amusing. 

downtown nashville  1st 

This was the view behind Caleb and I when we were sitting down by the river. I loved how raw all the buildings looked.

We happened along this huge record store called Lawrence Record Shop while we were walking the streets of downtown Nashville. It was impossible to go through everything because there was so much. 

The last stop we made in downtown was to grab a little grub for lunch. The struggle for us was finding some where that wasn't packed to the gills with people and some where that had food that wasn't going to cost me Caleb an arm and a leg. We stumbled on this gem called Paradise Park.  Neither of us were too hungry so we settled for something called the lil' chick. It's like two little fried chicken sandwiches with mayo and pickles. DELICIOUS, and all for only about $5.50. All of the employees were sweet as pie too, so I most definitely would recommend this dive. 

Even though it was really hot and sticky the whole week I'd say we had a good trip. I really liked getting to take some simple pictures so you guys could experience it as well, so stayed tuned for a photo diary of my trip to Colorado that is coming up in August. (:

Adios,

Paige
