tel aviv.

on sunday,

a group of ten of us spent the day in tel aviv!

as we arrived, we literally squealed at the sight of the mediterranean sea. 

it was a perfect day.

perfect weather. perfect people. perfect destination.

there's something about the sunshine on my face,

 the sand between my toes,

and the sweet smell of salt water

that makes me one ridiculously happy girl. 

we went to the old jaffa city,

made wishes from the wishing bridge

and saw the statue of faith.

then we ate our way through the carmel shuk.

donuts, juice, dried fruit, pita, chocolate, literally everything.

so delicious.

then we spent the night walking the boardwalk,

watching the most beautiful sunset of my life,

and meeting up with the ludlow family for dinner.

oh and we hit up mcdonalds for ice cream 

(and thank goodness-fountain dc.)

 highlights of the day:

playing in the ocean.

lunch on the beach.

whatevs, yolo. 

(you only live once)

engagement photos.

and too many european men with too little clothing.

i needed the sun for my sanity.
luckily now i have a little color,
and i'm no longer mistaken for a vampire.

tel aviv, see you next week.
