In the Sin City

An unplanned visit to Las Vegas was a refresher. It so happened that my husband and I were out for a casual evening walk when I expressed that we should travel somewhere before moving to D.C. since for the next month (after moving) we would be completely occupied with home decoration and set-up etc. Considering our love for 'travel', we thought of utilizing the weekend and voila..!

He liked the idea and we decided to hit the road the very next morning. That's it. The next morning we were on the road before we knew.. Whoever said unplanned traveling is fun was very RIGHT!

And boy we had fun... Though I fell ill (kind-a feverish) for a day, but who cares about that.. I remember only the fun part!

Tomorrow morning we are flying to D.C. Our car and our stuff has already been shipped. If I say 'I am excited about the move' would be an understatement. Let's see what future holds in for us..

Dreaming in Color

My New Year is going just as I planned it - which is packing..!! So this is the big change happening in my life (which I told you about before) – We are moving to Washington D.C. in a few days! Yes, we are.. and I am excited as hell!

So the year of 2014 is bringing us a lot of new-ness in our lives – new city, new people, new home, new life! I can’t thank you all enough for all the support you have given me so far..

I look forward to a lot more blog posts in the coming year, and living in D.C. and taking a generous feel of the east coast and woah.. I have a long list.. I am too excited for my own self!

May your new year be as adventurous and happy than ever.. May all you get you wish for..

Ending the year with a few pictures clicked while enjoying the Arizona sun.. See you all in 2014!

P.S. All, meet my lovely sister-in-law who is enjoying packing with us right now, just as much I am ;)

Those who say traveling keeps them alive, may not be entirely wrong. Since yours truly is also a traveling freak and loves to travel whenever there is a chance! Sitting at home on weekends is just not my thing. I feel like I am wasting time by lounging on that useless couch or sleeping till late!
I would not mind getting up daily and going out visiting a new place, a new city, a new world every day! But that would be possible only in a fairy-tale life.. In real life, we have to work, we have to earn, we have to sleep, eat and perform so many other mundane duties on a daily basis! But that’s just life!

I am sure each one of us dream of doing something they love, something they are quite passionate about – and it can be anything! But how often are we able to do it? Or shall I say how often do we make a serious effort to suffice our desires or hobbies? And trust me, if you are waiting for the right time, or the right day to start – it ain't gonna happen! Since there is nothing like the right time! NOW – is the right time.. Do it NOW.

So get up and do something.. Something which makes you happy! No matter what it is.. Take one step towards it and the rest will follow..
By now, you would have got the idea that ‘Travel’ is my passion – and I don’t like to wait for the perfect time or day..

So last weekend, I was feeling a little low and husband knew only travel could lift up my mood. So we, along with our friends drove to Prescott – a beautiful small town in Arizona. We spent the day eating, walking and sight-seeing.. and the evening flew by this beautiful lake (they call it - Watson Lake). The temperature was quite Fall-like, the day was nothing less than perfect! Enjoy the pictures..

P.S. Strangers kept complimenting me for my Sweatshirt! No wonder I love it too! It's so warm and cozy..
P.P.S. Did you notice my hair is long enough now.. I can now make a tiny-weeny pony too! LOL..

Postcards from Canada II

Read Part I here | < Disclaimer: Picture Heavy Post >

This weekend was quite relaxing. Since I finally un-packed all my stuff (on that note, I hate unpacking) and spent some quality time with my darling husband.
I still remember how happy he was to see me at the airport! He was holding a beautiful bouquet of red roses, and had this big grin on his face. His eyes were shining with happiness. Loved it all!
Sometimes I think what did I do to get so lucky..! Well, that question will always remain unanswered.

Anyhow, you may enjoy looking at few more pictures I clicked during my stay in Canada.
While I was there, I explored this farmer's market while city surfing and it was indeed a photographer's paradise.
Oh, and the coffee you see here is a 'Salted Caramel Mocha' - my (super) favorite!
P.S. Excuse my hair in the last pic.. Umm... Let's just say I was not enjoying a very good hair day!
I already miss Canada! I loved Canada :)
