daycation: vermont (video, gif)

my hubby and i were craving a fresh air - outdoorsy kinda day.
so we made a quick visit to vermont this past week and fell in the love with the north east state!
fall colors everywhere, local conversations at a diner, good food, driving in a CAR, ben and jerry's tour and some jewelry shopping! we both can't wait to go back, it was extremely lovely place!

flying over vermont was like being in a fall dream!

rocking chairs in the airport??? adorrrrable.

you have no idea how happy i was to be in a car!

local diner conversations are the best way to have breakfast!

if in vermont you must stop and eat at handy's lunch!

happier than a poodle with it's head outside a car window

colorful leaves were everywhere!

enjoying the fresh outdoors!

oh heyyy babe!

i had a not so proud moment while driving...

i am usually super good at noticing signs and directions.

i guess i was just in the zone!!

even though i had a driving brain fart, i still LOVED every second of driving

through the gorgeous fall colors, singing to good music and lots of sunshine!!

i'm off to chile

did you know i am half chilean?!!!
my mother is from chile and all of her family is in chile except for a few!
when i was younger chile was the only place we would really travel to.
it would happen every other couple years or so and we would go for a month.
i looooved this trip. i loved seeing my family there, they are the most kind and loving people.
i am giddy right now thinking i get to see them soon.
the last time i saw them was in 2008 and before that i was 10 years old!!!!!!

now with flying benefits i had to go visit them.
especially since my mother is down there for doctor visits and treatments.
my mom's health hasn't been so great lately and it has been very hard on me.
i am constantly worried and i randomly start crying because i am scared.
i just want to go with my mother to the doctors and make sure everything is ok. i am a worry wort and this type of stuff kills me.
i love my family so much especially my parents and to think one of them is sick really terrifies me.
right now nothing is more important then heading down south to be with her and my family.
my grandma is getting older and her health isn't in the best shape either. i just want time with them. i don't care if we all just lay in grandma's bed together. i just need those moments.
i love going to chile and i am SO grateful i have the opportunity to do so right now.
i will soak in every moment.

wish me luck that i'll make my flight (standby issues :) ) and that my spanish will kick in,
and that everything comes back a-ok from the doctors!

much love to you all...

the family that dives together...

stays together!
remember my family trip to belize last may?!
remember that amazing recap video my brother in law made?
he had hours and hours and hours of footage thanks to his handy dandy go pro!
he didn't want it all to go to waste so he created this 15 min documentary film.
he has us answer questions about our trip which is awesome! so fun to hear what others had to say about one another. he also has footage that you didn't see from the first video.
yes it's long but it is entertaining! you can see what my hubby and i are like underwater. would you guess he is more like a girl than me??
he comes out as my inner 3 yr old morgan under the sea.
it's long i know but i think you'll enjoy it!!
