New England Road Trip: Days 1-2 Driving from Oklahoma to Maine & Road Trip Tips | OK, MO, IL, IN, OH, PA, NY, MA, NH, & ME

I wanted to go on a road trip down the coast of New England for a while. God put it on my heart to go during 2018 so that's what I did. Typically when I go on vacation, I either travel with a friend or family member or I'm going to a destination where a friend or family member lives. However, most of my friends either a. couldn't take off work for two weeks, b. have small children, c. just bought a house, or d. moved away from the area I wanted to visit (priorities people...just kidding!). But I didn't let that deter me. So this trip became my first solo vacation. 

New England Road Trip: Solo Vacation Tips & Itinerary

While it would have been fun, and at times less stressful, to have someone to travel with, I wanted to go on this trip no matter what and I am so glad that I did! I would absolutely go on another solo trip!! I could do the things I wanted, when I wanted, at the pace I wanted, how I wanted, and change my mind if I wanted. It was great :)

Kimbell Art Musem (Balenciaga and Goya) & Velvet Taco | Fort Worth, TX

Over the Christmas break I visited the "Balenciaga in Black" exhibition at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. The exhibition was amazing!!! Because 95% of the pieces were completely black (there were a few that had small pops of color) everything looked timeless and classy. The majority of the pieces were on loan from the Balenciaga Archives in Paris.
