About Me

My photo
Hello! I am Bethany, a mom of 4 beautiful children, a owner of a dog, and married to a miner/hunter. (Camo is a popular color in our home). We recently relocated to the UP of Michigan from Juneau,Alaska...a huge adjustment. I have a passion for photography and documenting our journey through life. But, most of the time Im busy with my kids, hiding in the bathroom for peace and quiet, or trying to find my dog because he runs away all the time. Welcome to our world...always full of adventure.

Walking in the footsteps of the Past

I have been home for quite a time now and I'm sure alot of you were tired of checking my blog and seeing it say "I'm in Seattle right now"...yes I have been trying to recover from the long trip and looking at pictures was the last thing I wanted to do. You have to understand, in 6 days, I took close to 700 pictures, my journey was through the camera lens...I love taking pictures but then it became annoying. Now I am past it, I have scrolled through all my pictures and am glad I documented every thing that we did.
After everything, my trip back East was well worth it. It was something I have always wanted to do... always wanted to see... and experience with great company. To summarize it, it was cool. History came to life and I felt like I was walking in the past. We (My sister, Mom, and I)traveled to Gettysburg and I felt the soldiers on the battlefield. We traveled to Ellis Island and I felt the immigrants that came in the early 19Th century. I saw the Statue of Liberty in all it's glory. I even saw some HOT New York Cops that told us all about their experience with 9/11. Learning about the history gave me a new appreciation for America. New York City gave me an appreciation for Juneau.
