Abandoned Turnpike











We took a trip to the abandoned turnpike at the beginning of the year.  It's a 13 mile stretch of closed down highway that has three abandoned tunnels.  We only went through the first tunnel because we got there late in the day and quickly lost sunlight.  The tunnel is about a mile long, and it is incredibly creepy being in the middle of it.  It's pitch black and you can barely see anything.  Walking through it with flashlights and viewing all of the graffiti on the walls - some of which is beyond creepy.  It was definetley an interesting experience.





The tunnel itself wasn't the greatest, but above the tunnels are old rooms filled with these huge turbines for ventilation.  It was incredible to see from the outside, I peeked through the window and was amazed.  We ended up finding a way in to the top and there were a couple different rooms, one that led to this huge room that is basically an attic the entire length of the turnpike.  It's pretty neat.











We got a little bit lost on the way to the tunnels and stumbled across this abandoned house.  It was absolutely huge, every door seemed to lead to multiple new rooms.  It was also in such beautiful condition for looking so run down on the outside.  Oddly enough, there was no bathroom or kitchen, it just seemed to be a ton of bedrooms.  Maggie & I ended up shooting a set for zivity at the house and it turned out absolutely gorgeous.

Snow days

Justin surprised us the other day by coming home a few hours early during the snow storm.   Ezra was the happiest.  He loves the snow so much.  Downside to city living is that we have no yard, but the plus side is we live super close to a park so it even out. 

Sunflower field

Sunday visits to sunflower fields have become an annual September tradition.  For fun, I made a comparison of last year vs this year.  And also, the picture from the first time Justin and I went to a sunflower field. (Fun fact: We had to leave because I was sick.  Turns out, that was the beginning of morning sickness.  So Ez was technically in that picture too)

Ezra's first beach trip

We took a day trip down to Delaware so Ezra could visit the beach for the first time.  I don't  think I've ever seen him so happy.
