British Isles

In 2012 we took a 3 week trip to England, Scotland, Wales and Southern Ireland.  The history and beauty of the trip was overwhelming.

Dominican Republic

Took a 11 day trip to the Dominican Republic in the beginning of this last June.  It was a beautiful country with wonderful people, but this is  an extremely short post because I took very few pictures, and spent more time just enjoying the beautiful beaches and ocean.

Dillon Beach: Birthday Bash

For my Mom's 50th in February, we rented a beach house on Dillon Beach for a few days.  This is just an abbreviated post, due to the lack of pictures taken during the trip.

Western United States Road Trip

In the summer of 2014, Brandon, my mom and I went on a month road trip, where we covered 16 different National/State Parks over 11 different western states. Gained an appreciation for the beauty of the US, super cool.

Provo Canyon: Fall Colors

I've been super busy lately with midterms over that past couple weeks, so by the time I made it up to Provo Canyon for the fall colors, a large percentage of the leaves had already fallen.  Luckily there was still enough to get a few pictures, so here's a short post dedicated to that beautiful decaying chlorophyll.

Arches National Park: September

Decided to take an overnight trip by myself down to Arches National Park for the new moon on the 12th. (Because I figured there might be some good astrophotography opportunities) The trip reminded me as to why Arches is one of my favorite national parks.

Hiking the "Y" at Night

Hey look I'm in college.  A few other people and myself decided to go and hike the Y at night. Got a little cold at the end, but was lots of fun.  This is a very short post, but I figured I'd share a few pictures anyways.
