We spent a little time away from our bus resto this weekend in the name of Go Slo. Most times we use the excuse get outside and take brand pictures as a mini family road trip {because why not}. Most times these days begin with something scrumptious in the breakfast food department. This weekend could definitely be described as most times.
My daily driver is a tan '68 VW Bug, who I have aptly named Peanut. I didn't think I was a bug kind of girl {I really want a VW Thing at some juncture of my life. Think Drew Berrymore in 50 First Dates}. But despite that, I love her...as do the two little blondies in my life. We all piled in Peanut, pancakes on the brain, and set off to our fav out-of-the-way greasy spoon.
The best part of this little adventure? Besides pancakes, finding horses to pet and VW drives, of course — the fact that we were ridiculously outside in February...in Wyoming. It was one of those weekends that teases you of Spring and tickles your brain with a warmpth that seems so far away. The sun was glorious, although the ever-present winter wind was still whispering in our ears {and blowing constantly through my increasingly horrible hair style}. Didn't matter. Sun and fresh air mattered.
A close second best of a day like this? Outtakes! Usually of me, since I'm the gal who likes to make crazy camera faces. A consequence of the fact that sincere smiling Bria always looks too....something? Absolutely. I do get captured like this more than one should. But hey, quirks, right?
At the end of the day {realistically and figuratively} I love that our little shop continually reminds us - and gives us reason - to slow the hell down, get outside and enjoy the stuff we love. In this case it was long drives under a crystal blue sky, watching my kids run amuck amongst the long winter grasses and {my long-time love} of indulging my inner shutterbug. This mom heart melted just a bit more when Sadie was over-the-moon excited about picking up my camera and exploring through the lens.
