Outer Banks, NC

Outer Banks, NC

The OBX holds a special place in our hearts as it is unlike most vacation destinations in that it is relatively undeveloped.

About 20 minutes South of Nags Head, Pea Island is just a little stop off on the way down to Cape Hatteras. There’s a gift shop, some disgusting restrooms (better than nothing?), […]

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

May 29, 2021 By Becca Leave a Comment

What kind of mental picture do you get when you think of Philadelphia? Big cities are such a juxtaposition between beauty and filth in my personal opinion. Everywhere you look there are piles of trash, graffiti, and dilapidated buildings. Philly has more than its' fair share of those things BUT it … [Read More...]
