The Maras Salt Mines near Cusco was one of my favorite places to visit because it was so unique!!! There is a natural salty spring that runs nearby and the local community channels the water into thousands of these shallow salt pans!

Hearst Castle

August 9, 2015by The Crandalls Leave a comment

It was so amazing walking through these intricately designed rooms and learning a little bit about the history. Although our tour was only 45 minutes, I felt like we hardly touched the surface! I would gladly go back and pay for the other tours!

Sharing the prompts for this final challenge just in case you didn’t screenshot from my stories ❤️❤️
Moving out West has truly been bittersweet for us! Especially since spring is in full swing out in VA/DC/MD which is my favorite season (after fall)
Did you know the Washington Monument is three different colors because the society that started building it in 1848 went bankrupt 6 years later and the monument sat unfinished for 20 years until 1876 when congress decided to fund the completion. The original rock quarry they used was gone so they tried another one- didn’t like it- and finally settled on a more similar color from a quarry near Baltimore.
I found my dad and Addie outside here often- painting and sketching. I love the bond that they have and the love they both share for art. Both of my parents are creative and talented in the arts and I’ll be forever grateful for their encouragement in pursuing music in high school and photography as an adult ❤️
You guys, NPS announced that they’ll be restricting access to the tidal basin for a second year 😭😭😭. I was going to try and make it out there because the cherry blossoms/springtime and fall are what I lived for out East! But- with the Covid restrictions I guess I’ll just have wait until next year (thanks Covid bleh)
Prompt 16: out my window 😍 we had the absolute best view at our Airbnb- when I say it was therapeutic being there- that view was a huge part of that!! Watching the waves every day was so relaxing! My parents bought a kite from this cute kite shop in Newport and Addie was obsessed!! This was a 30 foot dragon kite and it was so cool to watch fly with that huge tail!!
