As part of my mom's birthday celebrations we went to Paris after returning from Iceland. It was a short 5 hour drive- so kind of like driving to Dallas from Houston!! My mom and I went to Paris together when I was 18 as my high school graduation present- but we had 3 days and were exhausted- those memories will always last but she just wanted another chill weekend.

 

 

 

A Series in Snow

I have to devote a series of pictures to snow because when you're from Texas, this is a sight in and of itself. I mean... I've always dreamed of this. 

Just standing and marveling at the snow...

The land of Fire and Ice

In Iceland, they believe in fairies, elves, and magic. This isn't a surprise, because after a weekend there I was sure that magic was real too. It was a beautiful place- from the moment we arrived, it was colder than anywhere I've ever been- however, that just added to the splendor.
