Sometimes you’ll spot a cute cartoon image where you might expect a real-life photo. That’s because either (a) I haven’t had the chance to experience the magic in person yet, or (b) I was too caught up in the moment to snap a pic! Either way, the pixie-dusted illustrations are here to help tell the story until I can capture the real deal. Thanks for exploring with me!
