it’s interesting how i didn’t feel that we accomplished much in the way of travel and relaxation this summer until i finally edited and compiled the photographs i took. from the hardest dance intensive my girls have ever participated in at expressenz in indianapolis, to discovering the modern revitalized city of detroit, to hang time with cousins, and wading in gorgeously calm michigan lakes, the summer of 2019 brought more firsts and fun than i could have realized (when we felt we really weren’t planning much at all). so grateful for the extra time with my growing daughters, and all that the places we choose to explore have to offer.
