#18-Take a Road Trip Just for Fun


Today I will start one of the first things on MY LIST! Becker and I are launching off our GREAT AMERICAN ROADTRIP-SOUTHWEST! We both love to shoot art shots when we travel to destination weddings, and whenever we go to a new place, we always take some time for a little "photo safari" where we go out and shoot things just for fun. So this week, not only will I be ticking off a couple of items on my list of things I want to do, but also (hopefully) shooting some amazing photos of little pieces of Americana that one would not normally get to see. Wait till you see what we've got planned for the week!

You can track us in our big red Hummer (guess whose idea that was) here every day as well as on BECKER'S BLOG , view images and video from our trip, and see where we are each day. It's going to be a wild ride!

The starting point:



The whole route:



See you soon from our first stop!

This year I resolve to...


I'm really not a fan of making New Years' resolutions. I never stick to them, and I bet you don't either! I mean, it's already January 4th and I haven't even blogged a Happy New Year post--that's procrastination! You know how it is--on January 2nd, the gym is completely packed, but by Feb. 1st, you can go whenever you want and hardly see a soul.

So this year, I'm not making any resolutions, and not worrying about keeping any promises that will just make me feel bad later. However, I have been inspired by my friend Jen (by the way, Jen is an excellent chef and her blog is a great resource for you foodies out there!) who has her list of "101 in 1001"--101 things she wants to do in the next 1001 days, or just under three years. When I was coming up with my own list, I found it to be SO much harder than I expected! Once I got past the things that were obvious, I was still only at about 35 or 40 things, so I had to really work to come up with more.

In any case, here they are! I have also added a new section to this blog called 101 in 1001, and as I complete things on my list, I am going to leave the date completed next to the item and blog about each one here as I work my way through. Leave a comment with any more suggestions, your own resolution, or any encouragement you might have!
