    what I wore : birthday attire

    by Kaylah Stroup August 3, 2015

    Yesterday I turned twenty five! Eeep! But I’ve been celebrating for a few days now and I’ll probably keep celebrating this week because that’s just how I roll.  

    Jeff took me to Oglebay over the weekend to celebrate. I cried over how cute tamarins are, ate the best burger of my life, devoured chocolate that was too good for words, took a bath in a massive bath tub, rode an aqua cycle, and we had a stinken fire place in our hotel room! (We cranked the air up so we could at least turn on the fire place for a little bit!) I’ve been feeling more than a bit worn down by the city so it was SO nice to escape if only for a few days. I’m back home feeling refreshed, and ready to get down to business – an excellent way to start my twenty sixth year!

    Here’s to making this year even better than the last!
    xoxo

    I don’t know what I was expecting from a place called Death Valley but somehow I was still shocked by the conditions in the park. At the visitors center we stood beside a sign that read 119 degrees Fahrenheit, which is easily one of the hottest temperatures I’ve ever experienced. Why we had to visit …
