It’s tradition for my wife and I to travel to Asheville, NC each year for the music and art festival, Bele Chere. We met up with some of our good friends and Anouk, our friend’s daughter, definitely held the center of attention for the duration of the trip. She is full of energy and danced for nearly three hours to one of the bands we went to see. Her curiosity has her running aimlessly, poking in on various conversations surrounding her. I wish I was able to catch some of these moments because they are hilarious, and maybe I will one day, but for now, here are some nice portraiture shots of little Anouk.

Gillian and I vacationed to Florida to see my grandmother and to Virginia to do some hiking with some friends. We both had a blast and enjoyed every bit of fresh air we got.
In Florida, as we were walking from downtown St. Augustine to the coast, we happened to stump upon St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park . We figured we’d make a brief stop and head down to the coast later in the afternoon. However, brief it was not! The park was extremely fascinating and we ended up spending many hours strolling around and looking at various birds, gators, and animals. I even had a chance to hang out with my good friend, the komodo dragon. I’m glad he wasn’t shy with getting his picture taken!
During our travels, we also visited the Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka, Florida. Since we were training for a half marathon at the time, this was the perfect place to be surrounded by beautiful flowers and run. If you are ever near Palatka, this is a worthwhile stop. My only complaint is that you can tour the gardens in your car around a 1.8 paved loop (people often do this at sunset). There are trails within the gardens that the cars cannot get to, but if you are bicycling or running on the loop, there is little room for both on foot and in car.
Lastly, our visit to Virginia was amazing. We went on two hikes. One, was a short hike, but it was straight uphill. I thought I was in pretty good shape until I went on that hike. Ya right! The second hike was on Saint Mary’s Falls Trail in George Washington National Forest. Besides the gorgeous waterfalls, the whole entire trail was beautiful. This is not an ordinary hike. You get to climb tree roots, rocks, travel through the river, and swim in the many swimming holes. I will definitely hike this trail again and I recommend trying it yourself if you are in the area!

I’ve been slacking on my posts the last few months, but now that it is summer time, I am in full force!! Back in March, I had a great time helping 2&3 Photography photograph Stacie and Brian’s wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and marvelous reception. The reception was held at 1705 Prime in Raleigh, NC.
Stacie and Brian were all smiles throughout the night, giggling, and gazing into each others eyes. It is easy to tell how in love they are and how much support they have from family and friends. After the wedding, there were some sensational toasts, delicious food, dancing with shoes off, and yes, even some tackling during the bouquet toss. It was definitely a night to remember!

Last weekend we went to celebrate Valentines Day with some friends of ours at Emerald Isle. Between making a snowman at the beach (yes, there was snow!), playing poker, and eating good food, we all had a blast. This was Charlie’s (the cute little puppy below) first time at the beach. He had an incredible time playing and eating the snow! I wish I took more photos, but I was too busy throwing snowballs! Here’s a few snapshots of the weekend.
