It's all right around the corner! From a young age, can you remember the sheer excitement of going somewhere new or even visiting a familiar place? If you're like me, I would get adventurous thoughts, such as "Oh, oh, oh...are we there yet? What will we explore first?" It's like Dora the Explorer with her trusty Map! And of course, the occasional "Are we there yet?" because when you're young or even a *little* older like me...you just gotta get out and go. As many of you can see, my fiancé and I go on our own adventures. On occasion, we may travel quite far. Generally though, it's usually all right around the corner. It's amazing what you can find when you do your research and map out a plan of action. Once you're there, go deep! Don't leave that town without noticing the cracks and crevices that make it stand out. We both have a fascination and appreciation for historical spots and it's people. You see...as Photographers and "all around" Artists, we find the most intricate details of every nook and cranny. That being said, Photojournalism is huge for me as I'm currently writing my first book..."A Daughter's Journey: Dave Vacant & the Mab." Of course, the time spent together is most important.
Every trip you take, either local or far away, has a purpose. Embrace it, run with it and have fun! Speaking of connections, I want to thank Paul Marc, Tour Ascension, Donaldsonville Downtown Development District and Donaldsonville Building Registry...for your amazing support. Now onto your travels and many more for us! Where have you traveled or where will you go next? We want to hear from you!
