{The first of many trips to the apple orchard this season}

We have entered the holiday season at work. No, we are not a bunch of Christmas enthusiasts, (even though I love the holiday!) but our editorial schedule has the advertising team working a few months ahead. While I love tinsel, glitter wrapping paper, and giant silk bows, a long day of editing photos can be exhausing. To compensate, I filled my free time with bubble baths, strolling through an apple orchard, and star gazing.

How do you treat yourself after a long week? I would love to hear!

My thoughts seem to be going a mile a minute lately, so Ian and I planned a few outings to clear my head and enjoy the day. We attended a local grape stomp, sipped on wine samples and consumed a lot of cheese! Then a few days later we headed off to the zoo and were surprised with an opportunity to feed the giraffes. I tried to stay calm, but I pretty much ran to the exhibit! Who wouldn’t want to feed a giraffe?!

Here are a few more snapshots from the last two weeks.

Hope you have a lovely weekend!
