Where HAVE we been? Italy? Ireland? Nope. Southern France? Close, but more like Southern Ohio. LOL. Every year we take a trip to unwind, refill, recharge, rethink, replan… re-EVERYTHING! Em packed her duffle bag, Jen her obnoxiously large and heavy, in case of an emergency SUITCASE with five extra coats…just in case. Planned departure time, 7:30am. Actual departure, 1:00pm. You catch our drift? So anyway, once we actually got on the road, it was destination unknown and Project 517. What is Project 517? We aren’t exactly sure but we had to come up with a name for reference purposes.
Project 517 highlights (in no particular order):
While shopping was supposed to be strictly JEM related, stumbled upon Old Navy’s clearance of all clearance events, ADDITIONAL 50% off (Jackpot!)
Driving through various treacherous snow storms
Kickin it at all the finest hotels and Hiltons. Not really. Red Roofing it!!!!!
JEM photoshoot of none other than ourselves (sample below)
Panera, Panera, oh yeah and Panera with serious deep JEM planning over 5 cups of coffee and snapping pictures for distraction (samples below)
Finding, rummaging and STUFFING the jeep with all our new JEM “treasures” that we can’t wait to use soon
For a full run-down of all the stories we aren’t able to mention on the blog feel free to ask personally. 🙂 Sometimes the best way for us to get inspiration is to pack up and head out for a few days. It’s amazing what happens when we are on the road and we throw out ideas back and forth. We wanted to share just a glimpse of where we have been.

Aviators. A GPS? Whah?

We said it first, we’re dorks. It’s true. Continue on…

Doing a little work, emphasis on a little.

Did we seriously eat all those donuts? Ahhhhmmmm.

We often joked if someone were to break into our car and steal all of our “treasures” what the perpetrator would say. Honestly, we still laugh over this. I mean, come on, various broken and rusty, crates, cribs, baskets, scales and other notorious JEM props…

PHOTOSHOOT!
