The Jefferson Hotel Richmond {A Photo Tour}
For my birthday this year, my wonderful husband surprised me with a night out! We went to dinner and a play in Richmond, and he got us a room at a fancy schmancy hotel, The Jefferson.

This hotel … Continue reading The Jefferson Hotel Richmond {A Photo Tour}

Call Me The Wonderer
For as long as I can remember, I have always wondered things. When I was a little girl, I wondered if other people thought and saw the world as I did.

If they … Continue reading Call Me The Wonderer
