February Photo a Day: Blue

It’s so unfair that I’m not here right now.

ITALY !! :) :)

Posted on November 8, 2011 by carlieblissirwin

I had trouble coming up with a title for this post, but I think what I ended up with accurately expresses my thoughts right now.

Because… we’re going to Italy this spring!!!

Plane tickets are BOOKED. So there’s no turning back now. Not that I’d want to.

Rome, Capri, Amalfi, Venice, Florence… hide yo’ pasta, hide yo’ wine. And hide yo’ gelato. Cuz I’m eatin’ everything out there. Run and tell that.

Anyone have any suggestions for things to do, places to stay, where to eat? All you Rick Steves wanna-bes out there – hit me up!

Lake Geneva: There’s more to Wisconsin than cheese curds

Posted on October 4, 2011 by carlieblissirwin

Last Sunday, we met up with my family in Lake Geneva, WI and spent the day walking through rich people’s backyards and nonchalantly trying to peer into their windows.

And while that might just sound like a normal afternoon, the thing that made it special was that we were also walking alongside a really pretty lake.

Not a bad way to spend the day.

Seaside sky

Last photos from Rockport, I promise. But how cool is this sky?

It’s places like this that make you wonder why you live where you do. Especially if you live in Detroit. Or Gary, Indiana. For example.

Relaxing, walking, eating and hanging out with family I don’t get to see very often – this trip to Rockport was just what I needed.

If any of you are planning an East Coast trip and want info on the area, hit me up! I have some great restaurant recommendations.

Sigh.

I told you this was one of my very favorite places. Now you can see why!

I took a million (more like 100) photos on my short vacation, so don’t worry, there’s more where this came from.

Check back tomorrow for more New England gorgeousness!

Shark bait

You can’t really see them, but there are actually surfers out there this early in the morning.

Don’t they know that sharks are most likely to attack at dawn and dusk??

And this is great white country – the movie Jaws was filmed nearby!

Am I the only one around here with an intense irrational fear of sharks and/or mechanical fake sharks from the 1970s??

I think I know the answer to that one.

Good morning!

Nothing like being greeted by the ocean when you wake up. With a view like this, how could you not be a morning person?

Also known as Harvard.

Probably one of the only places I’ve been where I’m one of the dumbest people around, thanks to all of the really stupid people in all of the other parts of the world.
