| Home Sweet Home |

I recently returned from a 3 week hiatus to help out my cousin and her family in California! She had her second set of twins (girls this time!) last week, and they couldn't be more beautiful! It was a SUPER busy few weeks- watching her 3.5 yr old toddlers and keeping up with their schedules had me beat! I learned so much though- kind of like a mommy boot camp! Great time catching up with the family :)

Cousin Sage came out to visit, too! So much fun with all the toddlers 


 My husband came out for a few days to help as well! We were so thankful that 
we were able to take a lil 'Baby Moon' vacation getaway :)


I'll have more pics to come! Happy to be back, but I miss the kids and my cousins! Excited to get back to designing and planning for our little one :)

| Atlanta: part II |

Our next stop was Atlanta's Fulton Library- designed by architect Marcel Breuer We heard it was a pretty cool design, so we decided to check it out!
(Also an excuse to step inside to some AC- it was HOT walking around!)

Pretty cool building. Reminded us of a massing project that we did in school!

The stairs were really beautiful- loved all the details and natural light from above.


More shots of the exterior.
Since we're used to driving everywhere in Orlando, we just loved taking the Marta around town. Minus the super steep escalators. (My husband did not like that I was turned around backwards taking pics of him) :)

Walking by the High Museum of Art in midtown. Architects Richard Meier and the addition by Renzo Piano. I LOVE this museum! Last year, we saw the Terra Cotta warrior exhibit here, so decided to skip out on Salvadore Dali.

I wandered through Piedmont Park by myself while my husband had to head to the office. (sorry, babes!) It was SO beautiful!! I wish Orlando had a huge park to play in.
I found myself a spot under the tree and plopped down to read a book :)
We love visiting Atlanta! Can't wait to go back!
Great shopping, and tons of great restaurants to try :)

| Around Atlanta |

My husband has been traveling to Atlanta for almost every week since March for work. Since his project is wrapping up, we decided to make a lil vacation out of his last visit!

First stop? The aquarium! What a beautiful place! We haven't been to this one before, and apparently, it holds the largest tank in the world. There were 2 whale sharks inside!


The jellyfish display was so ethereal
Seahorses are so cute! The funny fish with them swim vertically!

It was so hot outside, we crossed the lawn to the World of Coke. Surprisingly refreshing!

We then wandered around town searching for some eye catching architecture.


Part II (architecture of Atl) coming soon!

| DMB |

Every summer we trek down to West Palm Beach for a fun weekend of beach, friends, &
Dave Matthews! I look forward to this trip every summer
(partly bc we get tickets many months beforehand!).
Started off by soaking in some rays at Juno beach :)

Check out the gorgeous sky as we headed in the concert!

Group shot!
Girls shot :)
The set list was incredible. 'Cortez the Killer' was amazing by guest guitarist, Warren Hayes. Apparently the song hasn't been played since 2005 in Central Park! Check out the song recorded by our friends on Studio222Photography
The fun walk back to the car.
Sad DMB won't be touring next year. We had a blast this weekend!
