Finally! I'm starting to catch up on my posts and I can finally subject y'all to a million iPhone photos of our roadtrip! Granted we've been back from said trip almost a week now, between all of the NYC and Levi's shenanigans, I'm only starting to feel less stressed. I'm sure work this weekend didn't help! More on that later! I'll post several photos and then coordinating captions under them. Then a few more and so on. If you have a slow internet connection then you should probably just skip this post all together! It's going to be all sorts of ridiculous!

ReplyDeleteThis looks like a blast!! I love your yellow floral cardigan and how you've teamed it with the blue dress, so pretty! x
ReplyDeletejust have to say this, a weekend without Kaelah is like a bee without its stinger...dead. Ha! But I have been out of action and now have a lot of catching up to do. Love those shoes in the giveaway by the way :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pictures! I'd love to go on a just for fun roadtrip again sometime. They lose their fun when you know the roads.
ReplyDeleteTell Mike I know all about the accidental detours! ha ha!!
From the photos it looks like the road trip involved a lot of eating. Hmmm, that makes it a winner for me. Love the cellphone camera mirror portrait by the way. :)

The food looks delicious.. and I was already hungry, but now I'm realllly craving Japanese food.
ReplyDeleteThat souvenir (that 'thing' on a toilet) is scary, whoa.
And the last picture (Chris with the pipe) is pretty funny :)
Where did you get that glorious flower print sweater/ cardigan? I've been on the hunt for one and have been unsuccessful.
ReplyDeleteYour trip looks like it was so much fun! I never thought about visiting Wilmington before but now it looks like I should.

Have fun wedding sketching! That sounds way fun. I LOVE your dimples... I'm sure you hear that a lot, but yeah. You're adorable.
ReplyDeleteAll my favorite places! You lucky girl. I was born in Asheville, lived in Franklin and Highlands, and spent my middle school-college years in Wilmington. Such great places. Loved looking at your pics. Made me all nostalgic.
ReplyDeletethis looks like so much fun, and obviously you looked great during the trip (: i love all the food pictures - everything was so delicious!! what was your favorite part of the trip?
ReplyDeletelady! how you do cute!?
ReplyDeleteI really love this outfit, in particular the colour combo and your shoes and bag *_*
ReplyDeleteYour first outfit snap is exatctly the idea I needed to coordinate my lemon skirt, that has exactly the same color scheme of your jacket *_*

Thank you!
I really love your tapestry bag too!!
i love this post! i followed your updates about the trip via twitter and instagram. how fun! i'm super jealous.
ReplyDeleteSuch great photos. I think road trips are some of the best trips I've had with my fiance. You always end up finding such great things and looking through the photos is the best part.
ReplyDeleteLove this post!
YUM Port City Java! I miss Wilmington soooo much! I can't wait to head back to NC this summer we stay at a nearby beach [about 45 mins outside of the city]. I am hoping for a semi rainy day which would equal the perfect excuse to go shopping/sight seeing downtown!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the memories I'm so happy you guys had a great time!
