Artsy, Active Weekend of Photography and Local Adventures

This ended up being a really productive weekend. We crossed a bunch of travel and wedding planning items off the list Saturday, including the fiance taking a camera class for our brand new Canon EOS 60D, an early wedding present from my parents (AMAZING!)

Motorcycle Diary: Local Trip to Millersburg, Ohio

Thanks to the headline of an article I caught in the Akron Beacon Journal about a brewery opening in the middle of Amish country, our first motorcycle trip of the season was born. An Amish brewery? We had to check it out. It was a beautiful weekend and the perfect time to get our motorcycles …

Twas the Night Before Christmas

The days leading up to Christmas are always so much fun, but they seemed even better this year. I love minimally and tastefully decorating our house, incessantly playing traditional and new Christmas songs, continually dreaming of snow for a beautiful white holiday, picking out and wrapping gifts for family and friends, and spending time just …
