Being a full time student and a full time small business owner doesn’t warrant much down time. If I were being honest, 2015 was the last time I can remember taking a break! I’m a firm believer that there are different seasons of life meant to be dedicated to certain things. I couldn’t be more thankful for this busy, hard, challenging, and rewarding season that I am in now.

However — this trip was special to me for a few reasons. I not only loved seeing the beautiful countryside, but I loved getting the chance to take an actual vacation! (Okay….I did answer a few emails while I was gone. What can I say…I LOVE my job)!

We flew into London and spend our first few days there. Then we headed to Oxford University and stayed there for a week! We spent a day in Cambridge and then spent our last week in Edinburgh and St. Andrews, Scotland!
