    iTrip Down Memory Lane

    So I was flipping through my iphone and noticed quite a few photos from our recent travels. Since I have been such a bad blogger lately being in and out of town every weekend I figured I would share some of these pictures with you all to try to make up for lack of new posts lately.


    These are from March when Brad and I headed down to Daytona Beach around the start of Bike Week. I got a couple cool photos of the sky that day and some bikers traveling along side of us.

    I've been spotted!

    Here is Lucy during our weekend trip to Gainesville in April

    Photobucket

    This is for our dear friend Star Bradshaw. We thought maybe she was a jack of all trades, photographer, mother, friend, and convenience store owner.

    Taking in a UF Gators Baseball game while in Gator-land (er Gainesville)

    Photobucket

    Brad justified betraying UT by attending the UF game because he was supporting baseball in general.

    Gator camouflage was out in full force that day... I'm not sure if she is really incognito at all. :/

    This little series is from my trip to Nashville a week or so ago. I was there to shoot a gorgeous wedding, but while I was in town I stayed with my wonderful friends Kim & Tyler. On Sunday they threw a big BBQ and had lots of our old softball team there as well as members from their new team. This series of Kim was taken during our game of celebrity where Jamie forgot her last name. Pure Jamie moment!

    Tyler and his cat Rex playing with the ceiling fan pull cords. I'm not sure if it was Tyler or Rex who was having the most fun.

    My drive home from TN, I saw this character riding while standing in the bed of a truck for many miles in downtown Atlanta he would pretend to surf from time to time. Granted it wasn't very safe for me to take a photo with my phone while driving 75mph buuut I totally had to document.

    So after my very disappointing doctor's apt. last week... they ran a bunch of tests on me. One of which required me to pee in this enormous jug for 24 hours. This thing was bigger than Lucy!!! So that was fun not going to far from home all day just so I could pee into a plastic cup and pour it into my gigantic jug that sat a wee bit too close to the milk in my fridge for my liking.

    Over Memorial Day weekend, we headed back down to New Smyrna Beach to shoot a few sessions as well as attend my youngest brother's high school graduation. We were also puppy sitting Action Jackson for the weekend.

    Photobucket

    He drove and Lucy navigated.

    Photobucket

    He is such a cuddly dog... Saturday night he cozied up on top of my legs on the couch while we watched TV.

    Photobucket

    Then Sunday morning he shared his love with a sleepy Bradford

    Over the last few weeks I feel like we have been all over the place. From Gainesville to Daytona and New Smyrna, to Orlando and Sarasota. Then up to Nashville and back. This weekend we stay here in Jacksonville then we are off to Destin for a wedding the next weekend. We are keeping busy but its a lot of fun.

    love the last doggie pic!!! how nuts is that guy in the back of that truck!

    Melanie Watson said...

    Hey Erin... no worries. It was my fault for letting Jackson carry my purse. He begged and begged saying how it complimented his shoes so I finally gave in to his diva ways.

    David & Kimi... I know he was a nut bar! After a few miles I saw that he had no intentions of sitting down so I got my shot, and decided to pass them. That way when his goofy dead body is rolling down the road I wouldnt have the traumatic experience of running over him.
