Another installment of fall in Central Park.

I just can't help myself!

Montreal, Canada.

If you've got the itch for Europe but not quite enough time or money to make the trip, Montreal is a great alternative! Aaron and I made a last minute decision on a Thursday to leave the next night and head towards Montreal. It's a 6 hour drive from NYC and when you're on the road as much as we are you kind of forget how that's kind of far drive for a weekend. I was like, "Oh, only 6 hours? So easy!" Let's just say I wasn't singing the same tune when we arrived at 2:30AM. Regardless, we had such a fun weekend away and enjoyed exploring a new city together. Our favorite parts were walking around to see the colorful homes and trying some of the recommended restaurants and micro breweries. Neither of us were able to muster up the courage to try poutine, though. Maybe next time! Thanks for the great first visit, Canada!

Cologne, Germany.

I spent a week in Cologne this September, and although work travel is not as glamorous as it sounds it was a great excuse to explore a city I would have likely never visited on my own. One of the days when we had a quick break from the trade show, Tracy and I paid a visit to the Cologne Cathedral and adjacent city square. It's always so awe-inspiring to visit a place with so much history, and even more so to see a building that not only has withheld the test of time, but also war.


And last but not least, enjoy our smiling little faces :)

Is it too much to post about Central Park twice in a month? Too bad, I don't care! Feast your eyes on this beautiful city oasis:

San Francisco!

I certainly have a LOT of catching up to do on this little online space. Sometimes having Instagram makes me forget about my long lost love of taking pictures with my "real" camera. I've tried to take it along with me more often (I mean, I DO work for a camera bag company after all), and I'm always so glad I did. Which brings me to San Francisco! In August I got to take a quick trip out there for work where I attended a Leica store grand opening, met with some of my favorite retail partners, and caught up with an old friend from Young Life. I couldn't leave the city without quick photo spree, and I found myself incredibly charmed by this bayside city while at it.

Central Park in the fall...

…is there anything else like it?
