I’m not sure if you all know, but my husband is also a photographer. There are so many reasons why I love shooting events with him, but one main one is how different his eye is from mine. Below are some shots he took of an old General Mortors truck in Key West. I love the grittiness of these images. It matches perfectly with the vintage feel of the car.

This past week my husband and I took a much needed vacation to the Florida Keys. We stayed with some friends in Marathon, but decided to drive down to Key West for the afternoon. There is a lot to see in Key West, like Hemingway’s home, Sloppy Joe’s Bar (where Hemingway use to frequent and helped name), but I think our favorite stop was Old Town Bakery. This old-world style bakery was several blocks off Duval street (the famous street that runs north and south through Key West from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean). This was our kind of shop. Not touristy, very quaint and had amazing sandwiches (and chocolate chip cookies!). Definitely worth checking out if you are ever in Key West.

For the past 34 years Capital Church in Vienna, VA celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ at the Lincoln Memorial (a sunrise service) with close to 6,000 other people. Such a quintessential DC way to celebrate Easter.
