After a quick session tonight my belly tattoo is all done. Next up is my ribs, yay! My chest and arms were done by Dustin Golden of Deluxe Tattoo in Chicago, and my belly was done by Corey Taylor of Marlowe Ink in Fairfax, VA.

G-Eazy

Last night we had the awesome opportunity to see G-Eazy play at Jammin’ Java in Vienna, VA and because of our excellent vantage point I decided to drag my camera in from the car. I’ve gotta tell you, the low light capabilities of my 5d mark 3 over my 5d mark 2 are incredible. I shot the photo you see below with available light at 10,000 ISO, something that would have been impossible with previous models, so big ups to Canon for making those changes! If you like what you see, you can see the full set by clicking, HERE.

Check out this awesome photo of my grandparents sometime back in the mid 1940′s, before they were even married. I really hope this look comes back soon, what are your thoughts?

The title may be a bit deceiving, considering I am still on the same wheels I was on over the summer, but so be it! The other day while driving I decided to make a little detour to see my grandfather’s grave over at Quantico National Cemetery and along the way I found this little spot to take a quick photo of my car. Below the photo of my car you can see another photo that I took while I was at the cemetery. I miss you, Grandpa.

When it comes to taking your wardrobe to the next level, monogramming is a simple, and most importantly, cheap way to step your game. I think by this point if you are reading my blog you already know my love for all things J Crew, so when I received this excellent email regarding monogramming, I knew I had to share. Take a look at the image below and when you are ready to move from ashy to classy, just click HERE.

DC National Zoo

An unexpected day off and unseasonably warm weather in the district spawned a super fun trip to the DC National Zoo last week! So on Wednesday morning we grabbed some coffee and headed into the city and found the zoo to be almost completely empty! We wandered for over three hours, seeing all of the exhibits and taking tons of photos, which can all be seen, here. We even got a super rad behind the scenes look at the Bird House, where we met a baby flamingo named Watson! Do yourself a favor on the next warm day, check out the zoo hours HERE and head on down!

We have been meaning to go over to Willards BBQ in Chantilly, VA after reading about it over on this awesome blog, so last night was the perfect night to make our dreams come true! The food is incredible and the atmosphere is wonderful, what more could you ask for?! It only ended up being $23 for both of us to eat and have a delicious sweet tea each, so its not expensive either! Check out the couple of random photos I took and if you are in the area and dying for delicious BBQ, don’t hesitate to check them out!

There is nothing in the world like seeing your child’s face on Christmas morning. I call this photo, “Two Saws.”
