{ My Love of Nautical things! }

So, I have been wanting to do a post all summer about beautiful nautical things, which I love! Somehow, I have never gotten around to it! I figure I better do it on the last day of August, while it is still summer! So enjoy all of these beautiful nautical images!

{ Our Anniversary Getaway! }

Last Saturday and Sunday, Eric and I had a really fun 3rd anniversary getaway to the Natural Bridge/Red River Gorge area here in Eastern Kentucky. This was our first overnight getaway without Samuel, and it went really well. Saturday we went on about a 6 mile hike, and then ate at a really cute little restaurant. Sunday, we went canoeing and swimming, and then ate at an awesome pizza restaurant for our anniversary meal. We ate there on our honeymoon, and on our last 2 anniversaries, so I guess its our thing! We stayed at a beautiful cabin in the woods that that the college we work for owns as a retreat cabin. It was a lovely time! Here are some pictures.

A cool cave we saw

There were actually two close together

Eric trying to find a way to climb into it

He decided to build a ladder

He looked in the cave, but it was a little to rickety to go all the way up.

{ Pictures from Our Michigan Vacation! }

We had a nice time in Michigan for two weeks over the Fourth of July. That is where my husband, Eric's, parents live, and we usually go up there every summer for some vacation time.
