We took a staycation last weekend. In case you’re not on the up and up, a staycation is when you take a vacation…at home. Technically we weren’t at home.

Last weekend Perrin and I went exploring. He sniffed around and I played with the camera. It was a win win situation and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. Aside from the occasional airplane overhead it was really quiet. There weren’t many people on the trail and it made me feel miles and miles away from … Continue reading »

But it does leave me scrambling to get certain things finished before leaving this weekend {namely overdue thank you cards}. I … Continue reading »
{via} Woke up early to take Perrin for a run down Mississippi River Blvd. It’s a great, relatively flat trail featuring gorgeous old houses on the east side of the road and the mighty Mississippi on the west.
