It’s a new year! We didn’t get outside of Richmond in January, but I did get a chance to play with my new iPhone photography toys (a new tripod and wide-angle lens). Here’s what the month looked like for us: View this post on Instagram A mix of in-use and out-of-use train tracks makes Brown's…
In 2014, we lived in Germany, spent a full month on the French Mediterranean coast, and visited 17 other countries. And at the end of the year, we decided to move back to Richmond, VA (having just counted the number of countries we visited last year, I’m now wondering why). Safe to say, 2015 will be…
