I want to introduce you to a special place from my childhood: Chincoteague Island.
.
📍Location: Virginia, between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
🦪Food: Well known for oysters and clams, but you are also going to see a lot of blue crab on the menu as well.
🐴Things to Do: Visit the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge which is located on the Virginia side of Assateague Island and see the wild ponies, bike or walk many trails, or relax on the beach. There is also the small town of Chincoteague which is quaint and beautiful.
.
Every July (except this one 😔) there is the Pony Swim where the Saltwater Cowboys round up the adult wild ponies that live on Assateague Island, along with the foals that were born in the spring and guide them on a swim to Chincoteague. It's a nearly week long festival that culminates in an auction of the foals. The auction helps to control the overall size of the herd. It is also a fundraiser for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company. Some of the proceeds provide veterinary care for the ponies throughout the year.
.
It is a popular time to visit, so if you are interested in attending the Pony Swim make plans well in advance.
.
I'm honestly curious as to who has heard of Chincoteague before, let me know!

I leave a little piece of my heart everywhere I visit so it only makes sense that I carry a reminder of my favorite places. My @thewanderclub necklace lets me keep my treasured destinations close.
.
🇯🇵Japan - it's my favorite place to visit in the world
🇨🇭Switzerland - it was a destination on my first solo trip
🇮🇹Italy - for the bucket list trip I took my Dad on to celebrate his retirement
🏡Virginia - the state I called home for 20 years
🏔Grand Teton National Park - for my epic summer road trip with my best friend

Where's a place that's taken a piece of your heart?

How many shots does it take to get THE ONE? I’m going to be honest with you, I have thousands of photos that will never see the light of day.
.
For every one shot you see on IG of me, there were probably close to 50 (more like 100 if I’m shooting solo) that were taken. Of those maybe 10 make it to Lightroom, from there I’ll actually edit 4 to 5 of them and then 1 will make it to your eyes. Sometimes, I’ll go back a few months later and a second one will make it to the feed.
.
My trip to Hot Springs? I took nearly 1,000 photos over the course of a day and half. And that’s pretty average for me when I’m traveling and have a packed schedule.
.
Anyone else out there a click happy photog? 😂

I decided to stop waiting for others to make my travel dreams come true. I stopped waiting for friends to look at their calendars, family to make plans, and for my husband to accrue enough PTO.
.
I finally realized that person who had the power to change my life was me.
.
When I got back from my first solo trip I felt like I could take on the world – BECAUSE I JUST DID. I had lost touch with just how strong, smart, and independent I could be and solo travel has awakened all of that.
.
Don't wait on others. You’re capable of making your own dreams come true. What changes do you plan on making?

This is one of the entrances to the Grand Promenade, a brick paved walking trail that is behind Bathhouse Row. It's quite scenic and lovely, I felt like I was in Europe!

Anthony Chapel at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, AR is a beautiful gem! I absolutely loved spending the afternoon exploring the gardens, there's a lot to see and I could have easily spent the day exploring its 210 acres.
.
So, who wants to get married here? And can I be invited? 🥺
