Fall 2018 in Photos
Cue the laugher because yes this post is so absolutely delayed! It’s been sitting on my to-do list for over a month. Determined to post it before the Winter Solstice, so that I could still say it was technically “in season”, the days passed on.
Now here we are, 5 days before the new year. And yes, posting an
I love doing
Which brings us here: the collection of photos from September to November.
Fall 2018 in Photos
Photos 1-7: September started off strong with a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah! I attended the Tastemaker Conference, which is a conference for food bloggers. The trip started off with a hike. Going on a solo hike was something that was on my “30 before 30” list, but at the time I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into.
Hiking in Utah is SO DIFFERENT from hiking in Minnesota. Silly me, of course it is. I was a hot, sweaty, hard-to-breathe mess, but I did it and the feeling of accomplishment was overwhelming!
The conference was also aaaaa-mazing! In terms of making new friends, learning boatloads of new information, and getting inspired to continue growing, reflecting, and learning about this craft!
Photos 8-12: Everyday life in Minneapolis: walks along the river, sneaking in some kitty snuggles back home, and happy hours with friends.
Photos 13-15: A trip to Taylor’s Falls to hike and then to visit Franconia Sculpture Park. It’s absolutely free, too, if you’re looking for a fun outing in Minnesota!
Photos 16-18: Minnesota hikes {again, much more manageable than scaling a mountain …haha!}
Photos 19-22: Winery tours for my mom’s birthday – bonfires, pizza, and surprisingly good Minnesota wine! Our favorites were Sovereign Estates and Crow River Winery.
Photos 23-26: Tis the season for pumpkin carving! This year we went to Axdahl Farms for our pumpkins.
Photo 27: Our annual Masquerade Ball!
Photos 28-29: New restaurants and coffee dates to catch up.
Photo 30: Several concerts and shows this fall – Chvurches, Bradi Carlile, and Rupi Kaur.
Photos 31-36: THANKSGIVING! We keep Thanksgiving celebrations small, spend the day in our PJs, have a never-ending supply of food, and play lots of family games. This year my brother buttered up the turkey, I created a cheeseboard, and we made a double batch of stuffing for 4 people. Oh, and I held on tightly to the whipped cream bowl. Goals, people, goals.
That’s a wrap!
Now I’m off to write about 2018’s top recipes… you know, better get that one published before the year is over. 😉
Looks great! Must be fun to look back like that. And I love that Elwood made the cut. Nice.
Haha – of course he did! 🙂
