2016 Summer Road Trip: Part 4

Summer Road Trip: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Our next stop was the beautiful town of Santa Fe in New Mexico.

We enjoyed walking the streets and checking out all the cute shops and galleries.
Who knew there could be so many galleries in one place?

Santa Fe was also the only place I managed to get a good cup of tea the entire trip,
and thus I'll probably remember it as my favorite place.
It can be rough traveling in America if you love tea!

Out of Santa Fe it was more or less a straight shot down the highway to Tennessee,
with fun Route 66 stops along the way to keep us entertained.

▼ It was my first time to Texas and we enjoyed the stop at Cadillac Ranch,
graffiti is always great for some good photos!

▼ We also enjoyed eating a large steak in Texas, although not 72 oz :)

▼ Our final stop before Tennessee was in Hot Springs, Arkansas, which we added to the list for its national park status. As a national park it's an unusual one, being in the center of town instead of the middle of nowhere, but we had a good time admiring the old historic bathhouses, and even visiting one for it's hot spring pools.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
