We had some crazy storms yesterday in the DC area. So whenever that happens, I try my best to make it out for sunset to shoot. Luckily by that time they had already passed and left some pretty awesome clouds in their wake.
Sorry I don’t remember the name of this hike, but I do remember it was a strenuous one. Straight uphill shot to the top to get this gorgeous view. But once we reached the top I had to pretend like I wanted to stop to take the picture when I really just wanted to take a breather.
Went to bed wayyy too late on Saturday but I was determined to wake up for sunrise on Sunday. I had already made up my mind up earlier in the day to go. Damn my decisiveness! But the sunrise turned out pretty cool. Worth the trip but crashed as soon as I got home.
One of the hardest working people I know, my dad has always been a great example to me growing up. Working 7 days a week and even on Christmas, my dad loves what he does but I know he loves us much more and that’s why he does it. When I was little I remember him coming home and he’d be so exhausted from work, but we’d still manage to hangout with me. I remember watching “Wheel of Fortune” together a lot. Most of the time he’d fall asleep on the couch by the end of it.
He’d also be the one who to take me to see movies that were so not appropriate for my age like Die Hard and action movies like that were our favorites. And every Thanksgiving, while the turkey was cooking in the oven, we’d go see the latest James Bond movie in the movie theatre.
So when I asked him if I could interview him for a blog post, I was happy that he agreed. I pulled out a pen and paper and he said “oh, this is a real interview?” Of course it is!
What was I like as a child?
Very cute. (I asked him if that was it and I could tell that he thought more about it…) I remember buying you a piano and you didn’t play it. I sent you to ballet and you don’t dance. (never asking that question again)
To have a good education and to be a good lady.
*takes deep breath* I was worried about you having a steady income.
So far so good. Still no one wants the piano.
The one that is hanging in the basement. (I think he’s referring to this one because theres two).

Happy Fathers day to all the dads out there!
In case you missed it, I asked my mom these same questions for mother’s day. Click here to see what she had to say.
Walking up the steps, I noticed this large puddle right in front of the marker of Martin Luther King Jr’s “I had a dream” speech. How cool is it to see the columns in the reflection of the puddles.
Looking back at some older images, this was taken at Hungry Mother State Park in Marion, VA. The place had this fun, family, beachy vibe to it. So it was really interesting to see this creepy fog rolling in early morning. Kinda looks like it straight out of a horror movie or something.
