Day 5: Favorite Memory

Photo Challenge Day 4: Favorite Memory

Well, again, it's hard to pick a favorite. So, I picked two!

June 2009

July 2007

So, the first one is me and my husband on our honeymoon in Aruba. I know my wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of my life, but I gotta tell ya, the honeymoon is where it's at! 

It was amazing just having time to do whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. 

With no one to consider but each other.

It was wonderful.

And Aruba is amazing! So beautiful and relaxing, yet fun and exciting at the same time.

One side of the island is tropical and beachy, 

and the other side is like a desert with lots of steep hills and cacti. 

Not to mention the awesome caves and other ruins we got to see.

So far no other vacation has compared to our honeymoon. :)

The second picture is (duh) London. 

I spent 5 weeks studying abroad in London back in 2007. 

Those were some of the most incredible weeks of my life.

I had never been outside the states (or to many of the states!)

and London was a whole new experience. 

The sad thing is, as more time goes by, I feel more and more disconnected from that time.

I still remember the things that I saw, and I remember the events themselves.

But I can't really remember how it felt to be there. 

I don't remember the smells or the sounds. 

All the time it starts feeling more and more like a dream or a book I read and not something that actually happened to me. It's really sad and kind of scary. I really don't want to let those memories go.

So, that it is! Two of my favorite memories. You'll notice they both involve travel....hmmm.... Don't get me wrong, I love living in South Georgia. But it drives me crazy that there's a vast and intriguing world out there that I am so far away from. I wish I could spend a year or two just traveling around the world with no other worries or obligations. Buuut...I don't have any money. So, yeah. 

I am looking forward to our 2 year anniversary vacation to Disney World, though! No, it's not really traveling since we go to Orlando all the time, but neither of us have been to Disney World since we were much younger and we're super excited to get to act like kids again! Plus, Epcot has all those country-lands, so it'll be like traveling...right? :)

What are some of your favorite memories?
