A Trip Down Memory Lane (AKA The Stairs!)




David and I will be married seven years this April, and since the beginning of our journey, we have matted and framed pictures of us as a couple on vacation. We usually go skiing every March, and take a week long, motorcycle road trip every summer. We have gone as far as Las Vegas, Galcier National Park, Canada, British Columbia, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, and Sturgis. The mats are white and the frames are black; I chose this color scheme to make sure the color photos really pop. I then record where we were, and the month and year. Is there a photo for every single plae we have vacationed? No! We choose only one or two photos a year that we agree are our favorite. We decided to hang our photos going down our stairs as an alternative to art or more traditional family photos. The pictures tell a story, and I find myself stopping mid-way down to admire or recall a wonderful vacation memory spent with my husband.

  1. That's a really neat idea! Our house does not have any hallways - so we don't have a good place to do something like that - but it looks really neat along your staircase.

  3. Good memories being together. After you & David start your family you won't always be able to go like this on your outtings but you will always have the memories & some people don't get to see half of what you & David have seen. Its great to have a chance to travel before you have a family, it will be alot harder to go when you have little ones. Enjoy the road & all that the USA/world has to see.....
