Weekend Getaway

This past weekend, Jesse and I went to visit my parents in Southern Missouri near Branson. It's so nice to get away and we had a wonderful time! The drive to Missouri is also much better than the drive to Michigan (where they used to live). Today I'm going to share a few scenery photos from the trip and Thursday I'll share some fun photos of what we did on our trip :)

Just past the Iowa border and into Missouri, we saw several wind turbines. At a distance, these look like normal windmills, but as you get closer you start to see just how huge they are! They stand 396' tall and each blade is 139' long...that's huge!

The further we got into Missouri, the curvier and hillier the roads got. Iowa is pretty darn flat, so it's a nice change in scenery. The land is also rockier. I love the rock formations along side the roads.

But the best scenery of all is out my parents' back door. They have a gorgeous view of the lake. It's so calming and relaxing to just sit and enjoy the view :)

 Have you been doing any traveling this summer?

Girls' Getaway

I just finished a custom order for 7 Destination Word Albums. The lucky recipients are all going on a girls' getaway and one of the friends got them each an album :) I thought that was so thoughtful and such a fun idea! I hope all the girls love their albums!!!

I made them in three different color combos so they could choose which one they liked best:

I'm sure they'll have lots of great memories to fill these albums with :)
