Wisconsin has become home for Fourth of July for a few summers now. Every year spent a little different but every year just as fun as the year before. Here are a few shots from the Olbrich gardens in Madison. Now it feels like summer is truly kicked off. Here’s to the cheese state and botanical gardens.

Though we visited Miami, our hotel was actually in Hollywood. With the chaos of ending up renting a jeep wrangler, moving hotel buildings unexpectedly, trying to adjust to the major heat that south Florida offers. So here are a few shots of this cute little beach town and its "broadwalk" and the beautiful views we had all week. ALSO! Thanks to my mom's sweet cousin Lou for being the kindest and sweetest host, and showing us around his home and his lifeguard stand. (the American flag he puts out everyday on the beach).

Have you ever gotten a taste of something and you left craving more? Miami is that. Miami is one of those places where I found myself wanting to know more and more about. The day I spent there wasn’t long enough and I am craving going back. I say this sitting back home in Michigan, the blister I got in Miami finally healing on my foot and missing that Art Deco magic. I was to encapsulated by the city that I didn’t get a ton of pictures, and frankly the ones I did get weren’t great but here are the few shots I did get.
