This has been the first summer (excluding the summer we got married) where Jonathan has had an adequate amount of time off. I LOVE to travel and explore but it just has not been happening as much as I would like because of his busy work schedule.
Now, going into his second year as an assistant principal he finally had a decent amount of time off during the summer. He still had to go out of town once for work but it's usually more than that in the summers so this one was so nice.
Before we had Georgia we made a goal to take a BIG trip once a year. We did San Fransisco, Jamaica, Portugal, and Spain. Since her birth we've only done family focused trips, which is fine, but I've just been needing something more! We got married right after graduation at 22 and then had Georgia before our 3 year anniversary so I feel like we're finally hitting a stride again where it's easier to be on the go with a little one. And, ALL our family is in Texas with a few extended family members in Louisiana so we don't really have a family excuse to travel.

Booked Boston!
-AND, we're not going in the summer but I did book it in the summer so I just had to add it to the list. Only one month away! I have to miss Baylor Homecoming for this so you know it's a BIG deal! We're trying to make it a priority to travel more so we're looking into other months besides the summer months when it's a little cheaper to go!-

Also, we should be headed to Waco soon...this month or the next. Jonathan's sister is moving there with her family and to most people Waco sounds BLAH but to me...I'm up to visit Waco/Baylor any time!!!
Happy travels!

Ooh Boston will be so fun! We didn't take a real vaca at ALL this summer, but we are looking into some off-season trips as well - cheaper is better and less crowded! Boo for missing Homecoming again this year though!
What a busy summer! The family shot of you guys is beautiful!
