ST. AUGUSTINE, PART TWO

We started our first day in St. Augustine trying a seafood place near our hotel. It was a lovely place and the seafood was as fresh as it could be (we had the Seafood Lovers' Platter). Then, we toured the historic town and roamed around the Castillo de San Marcos. Then, we had some pizza, mozzarella sticks, and calamari at Pizzalley's. It was some of the best pizza I've ever had. Next was homemade waffle cones and ice cream at a local ice cream shop in town (salted caramel is definitely recommended). We spent the rest of the evening relaxing by the beach and walking down the shore.

ST. AUGUSTINE, PART ONE

Here are a few photos from my recent trip to St. Augustine. It was my first time there, and I've concluded that it has beach-meets-historic-town vibe. 

FENWICK ISLAND VIDEO

I took some video clips from my trip to the beach the other week using my iPhone and decided to put together a little video along with some photos I took with the camera. Warning: the star of this video is clearly my feet.

FENWICK ISLAND

This is what it looked like in Fenwick Island last weekend. The summer breeze felt amazing during morning time on the beach, but around 11 am the sun seeped out (along with it was the humidity). The cold sea water made the summer heat quite bearable resulting in many swims. The views were picturesque and the sand, so soft under my toes.

BALTIMORE

I took a little day trip to Baltimore over the weekend and wanted to share a few photos. I always love being near the ocean and I felt reunited with the water when I could smell the sea salt when we got to the boardwalk. We walked and dined at J Paul's, which was right by the water. We were told everything served was fresh and it certainly was.

DC AND THE HIRSHHORN

Last Thursday, I escaped to DC with a few friends. We toured the Hirshhorn and laid out on grassy patches along the National Mall. The Hirshhorn really has become one of my favorite places to visit in DC. If you've never been, check it out. It has a lot of amazing modern art.

GEORGETOWN

I headed to Georgetown this past Saturday. I've passed Georgetown many times before, but I have never really explored the amazing restaurants, antique shops, and tiny boutiques I've been hearing about. It definitely did not disappoint. I started my day off in Georgetown with brunch at Café Bonaparte (I had the crab benedict and shared a shrimp and crawfish crêpe). It's a great place for  French cuisine and the atmosphere is really cozy. Then, walked around while shopping. Next was touring the Old Stone House. I'm so grateful they preserved its history. My last stop was Sprinkles Cupcakery. It was delicious!

THE ZOO.

I wasn't planning on sharing these photos, but they were too pretty not to share!

PARIS/DAY FIVE

Day five in Paris was all about the Eiffel Tower. We were advised by a few of our friends that the best view of the Eiffel Tower was by the Trocadero and it is in fact. After snapping numerous amounts of photos by the Eiffel Tower, we took the bus to the Champs-Elysees. And we finally located the famous macaron shop, Ladurée. It's funny though because we ended up asking two American tourists we saw on the street with Ladurée bags. Ladurée had the most scrumptious macarons (*disclaimer: they were pretty pricey so we only bought twelve for the three of us). Then, we found the Arc du Triomphe as we continued our stroll through the Champs-Elysées.
