Mental Vacation

I don't know if, for me, there is any way better to relax than with the sand between my toes. Growing up as a kid my family took a yearly trip to Florida where there was usually no agenda and lots of beach time. As an adult, I miss having a whole week to just hang out by the water, eat seafood, and read. This summer has been non-stop, full-tilt, busy-to-the-max. But it did start off with some beach time.

These are a couple of out takes from my trip earlier this year to St. Thomas for work. Don't worry: we were able to squeeze in some margaritas between work. From Trunk Bay to Maegens Bay it was like being in Florida all over again, only with prettier water and more Rum. So from here at my desk I'm taking a little mental break and pretending I'm by the water again. If only for a couple minutes before heading back to my to-do list. You should too.

Stop - St. Thomas Time

More from the St. Thomas outtakes file. I just loved these colors.

St. Thomas :: Outtakes

It was rainy when we landed in St. Thomas, USVI. But despite the rain it was ridiculously beautiful. The islands, the people, the water. In the coming weeks there will be more images to come from this trip (once I have time to sit and edit them all out). But for now here are a couple of outtakes. Cheers to the islands.

Planes. Cars. Boats.

I'm back in Montana after a month of travel in the South and Caribbean. In the next coming weeks look for travel focused posts here as well as more profiles on Young Farmers across the country. I'm so happy to be back in Montana and am hoping to zip through some major editing projects so I can get back outside where it is sunny and beautiful here. It might be a while but I'm really so happy to be back in the mountains.
