Kentucky Sunsets

We made the 14 hour drive back from my home state of Florida to good ol’ Kentucky yesterday morning. That is a brutal trip straight through, let me tell ya! We had a wonderful vacation filled with family, friends, and lots of beach time! I can’t wait to share some of the photos we took. It’s always difficult to balance just the right amount of documenting when you’re on vacation, isn’t it? I really tried to live in the moment as much as possible vs. lugging my DSLR everywhere. My iPhone is my happy medium, but it’s still a pain to take a phone out on the beach – so it stayed back in the room most of the time!

^^I was *kidding* when I posed like this, but hilariously enough it is one of the few pictures that turned out in the low lighting!
These photos were taken at the beginning of July. There is a lovely little pond just around the block from our house. It’s a nice place to sit, watch fireflies, and enjoy a pretty sunset – we have a multitude of those around here! These pictures popped up immediately in iPhoto when I went to load my SD card from vacation. They are a nice reminder that there is so much to love here and be thankful for. It’s always difficult to return to reality after a carefree week of vacation. I know, I know – first world problems! But it’s a little harder for me since I have family and friends to miss in Florida, as well as the beach! It’s difficult when your heart is dived between two places.. but I feel so blessed to have two places to call home!

Have a great week everyone! I know mine will be insanely busy catching up on work from the last week! Eeekk.
