By the Pool | Summer 13 Adventures

“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have 

always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” 

― Henry James

On the Road | Summer 13 Adventures

This summer I've spent many hours in the car traveling. We drove from western Kentucky to the Georgia coast and back, and then later from Kentucky to Orlando, Florida. I think it averages out to 7 full days in the car. Whew!

One thing I do like about spending all that time driving was different scenery I got to photograph; open fields of farmland, wooded areas, sunsets, and palm trees lining the roads.

I had to include a photo from when we got to Orlando late at night. The last picture is of a McDonald's, one of the many in Orlando, but very unique because it looks like a box of french fries!

Now I'm hungry.

Orlando | Summer 13 Adventures

This summer we have done more traveling than usual. Thus presents my first series of posts, Summer 13 Adventures. Every Wednesday I'll post about our travels or things I've been doing this summer (or at least I'll try. Work and school keep me busy.). Enjoy the first installment!

My dad had a business trip a week ago in Orlando, Florida. Naturally, we went with him and I took pictures of stuff. No surprise there.

The fancy hotel is designed with ocean-inspired decor, like this barnacle light fixture. As Orlando is a popular tourist spot, we often heard people at the hotel speaking different languages. Mostly, we heard Spanish and Japanese.

There is a Starbucks inside the hotel (!). We of course had to visit it and pretend to be all hipster-like with our non-fat, decaf, raw Hawaiian-sugared, iced coffees. Say that three times fast.

More photos of Florida coming soon!
