a getaway for two, please.

Me, In Real Life

This past weekend our lovely folks’ watched our little man while we went to visit the plantation where we were married and a little town nearby. We stayed at the plantation overnight and my oh my, I think I could really just live there. All. of. the. time. It is like a dream, or something. I felt so blessed to be able to stay there and spend some time with my oh so awesome husband. We spent some time at the fall festivals in the area and visited antique stores (my fave.) I think that I ate about five (or maybe even ten) pounds of kettle corn as well. That stuff is just too good! Anywho, here are some pictures that I took while we were visiting!


Those colors!! One reason that I absolutely love autumn.

Just us being ourselves-haha.

We went to SO many different antique stores. There were little treasures everywhere just calling out my name.
But unfortunately, their price tags were a little much…

I really wanted to bring this home with us but I was afraid to even see what the asking price of it was…


We stopped and listened to these guys playing bluegrass for a while…it was so so good! I really would love to start playing the banjo.
(By the way, I’m not sure why that guy is glaring in the photo! Hmmm, maybe he was just trying to pose?)

Awesome colored doors usually always require having a picture (or two) taken!

Please feel free to notice the coffee I spilled all over my dress :)
Also, feel free to notice how small my eyes look in the morning (or anytime of the day really.) Yep, they are actually open in these pictures believe it or not!!

  12. a) You guys are so darling and full of love it makes my eyes water.
    b) so glad you shared this song. it reminds me of my wedding 4 years ago when I was 20 and he was 21. More in love than ever, and that song brought tears to my eyes.
    c) I must be PMSing because I’m a ball of tears. Ok that’s all.

    Love, Leigh
    P.S. Also LOVE this song.

  33. laura says:

    these are adorable, the colors, your dress + coffee :) Im so happy fall is here. Your photos are always so sweet to look at , I love them :)

  34. Deborah says:

    Although I love them all, this has to be one of my more favorite posts of yours, Arielle … it reminds me so much of our ‘younger’ days … seems so long ago, but never far from my field of memories! Love, love, love Andrew Peterson, and I adore the photos here … we love this time of year, too! For quite a few years, every fall, Lew, and I, would go to Brown County and spend the day. Then just before leaving we’d pick one colorful leaf and put it in a little album .. that was so special to us … things kept us from getting down there every year, though, but maybe we’ll have to start that little tradition up again this year! Our 29th anniversary is October 29th, and that isn’t too far away, now! Never stop making those memories … always hold them close to your hearts! You have a blessed week, and thank you for sharing your sweet life with us! :)

  38. shayne paff says:

    and oh! I like Jill Philips a lot =) I used to replay multiple times the first CD I got of her when I was in college. I may have driven my roommate crazy – but I think she must have liked it too, since she never complained =) hehe. lol.
