Despite the drizzle, or maybe even because of it, we wove in and out of several while meandering the brunch. During this trip, we were also trying to come up with a baby name, so all of the stumbled upon headstones served as good sources of inspiration! {Alas, Mack’s name wasn’t one of them.} ... ... Bottom line: No matter where you are, it’s always a good idea to venture off the sidewalk when a {read: day-lit, non-terrifying} alley presents itself 😂 ... ... #explorecharleston #charleston #alley #offthebeatenpath #secretpassage #bts #exploremore #wanderlust #coupleswhotravel #southcarolina #michigrammers #travelgram #travelblogger #travelersnotebook #alwaysgo

K A U A I // If I had to choose a time of year to head to Hawaii, February would be it {insert jealousy toward ALL the folks visiting right now!}. And if I had to choose one spot on Kauai to return, it would be this sweet, quiet resort in the south side of the island. ... ... Called Ko’a Kea, it’s a laid-back oceanfront property with a small but great spa and a lovely restaurant. It’s ocean view suites are spacious and comfortable and offer stunning views, perched practically on top of the water. And best of all, there’s a gorgeous {big waves!} beach only a few steps away. ... ... It’s rave reviews are what led us to book it during our trip and we have to agree - it’s a hidden gem. ... ...

O N E M O N T H // Swipe right for a glimpse at Instagram vs newborn reality with this little bear 🐻😂 ... ... But really, how has 30 days seemed like the blink of an eye and a lifetime all at once? We spent these first weeks mostly holed up at home, catering to the little one’s milk-fueled demands while soaking up all of his snuggles, squeals and squeaks. {And also living for nap time.} ... ... Because it’s flu season, we’ve been especially cautious to keep him covered up, but we did squeeze in his first lunch out - hey, Moose Preserve - following his newborn photos, and also introduced him to the Detroit River breeze with a stroller ride at Winter Blast. ... ... Here’s to month two and all the growth, change, patience, spit up, hand squeezes and heart-swelling love that it’s sure to entail 💛 ... ... #onemonthold #babymilestones #detroit #michigrammers #detroitbaby #babyboy #onemonthbaby #newbornlife

W E E K E N D V I B E S // Have you seen the movie Passengers with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt (2016)? Pretty sure that it got crap reviews but I liked it, and the premise makes for epic dinner table conversation... what would you do in the lead character’s shoes?! Wake up a fellow passenger or not? {If you haven’t yet, watch and let me know!} ... ... All that to say, the sweet little Living Room bar - pictured here - reminds me of the space ship bar in the movie in the most delightful way. 😂 ... ... We bellied up to this space for a craft cocktail and mocktail to kick off night one in Charleston. It was insanely convenient because it was also our hotel lobby bar. And if you haven’t caught on yet, we looooved our stay at The Dewberry Charleston. You can read ALL about it in our full trip blog post, linked to in our bio ☝🏼 ... ... Cheers to the weekend! 🥂 ... ... #charleston #explorecharleston #thedewberry #drinkup #travelgram #thedewberrycharleston #foodie #livingroombar #travelblogger #wheretodrinkcharleston #passengersmovie
