[dropcap]T[/dropcap]here are time that you just need to force yourself to take a break. Where we literally and spontaneously ran away to Ripley’s Aquarium in TN for 2.5 hours of pure bliss. The Damron Darlings as mom likes to call us three girls had been working like a fiend. 11+ Hour days and one shift lasted 27 hours. Website making, video, PowerPoint, mail batching, and bridal shows are NOT for the faint of heart when you’re on the deadline.  On the exact same day, mom broke a lightbulb, sat on glass, my sister’s phone did not alert her of an important meeting but my desktop did (we’re share important calander meetings for both our businesses), Kate almost drunk a spider after he decided to drop from the ceiling, and our laptop died two days before our big show. All this and more happened that years down the road will someday make us laugh.

When I took time to breath (aka sleep) even for just four hours, it can totally change things. Ironically, I had to fight to make myself ran away,  there were things to do, but I knew I’d would be very refreshed. It’s important to spend time making intentional memories with each other. One of my favorite things to do is go to the aquarium, just for a little bit whenever I go, I enter into a state of bliss. I was so inspired that I wanted to show you some of my favorites photos that I photographed of the underwater world.
