From the Heart of It All to the Wild West

Coley and I have been quite the travelers lately!  When I think about it, there are a total of two weekends that we will have been in Nashville during the month of May.  It's pretty crazy, but we are having so much fun on these trips so I'm glad for the whirlwind!

So far, we've been to Ohio to visit Coley's family and spend some time at their lakehouse.  I experienced a lot of new things that weekend, like ziplining . . .



and fishing . . .



and a visit to good old Ohio State . . . (of course I supported the CATS for my tour through campus!)




Not to mention I had my first martini with dry ice and one of the most amazing steak/crab combinations ever!


This past weekend, we were off to Phoenix for my brother's birthday/graduation celebration.  Coley hasn't experienced much of the Southwest, so I was excited to introduce him to the incredible heat, crazy desert plants, and amazing mexican food.  The latter ended up being one of the biggest highlights of our trip . . .




I don't think Coley or I will ever be the same after tasting that corn.  We were seriously raving about it for the whole trip.  We brought the menu home so we can attempt to recreate it, but I don't know if it will be nearly as delicious as it was at America's Taco Shop!


To wrap things up, we decided to hike Camelback Mountain.  Let me tell you, this was no easy feat, but we made it to the top! 




Just don't EVER ask Coley to do it again (and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be too excited about a second try either).


It's been fun traveling from one part of the country to another over the past couple weeks.  I've had some great experiences and seen some awesome things.  But I don't think these trips would have been nearly as memorable without my amazing travel partner.  Now onto our next adventure- the Indy 500!
