Hello! I'm Annie and I run a little blog called Time Enough For Drums.  As I'm sure you've guessed by now, I'm guest posting for Veronika whilst she enjoys a much-deserved vacation in Hong Kong.  (Let me just take this moment to mention how jealous I am!)

Veronika asked us to bring you travel-type posts, so I was glad to have the opportunity to show off some of my hometown, Washington, DC.  To be fair, I grew up in Northern Virginia, but I was born in the city, Georgetown to be exact!  On this particular perfectly-springy day, my family and I headed into the city to spend time at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, a part of the Smithsonian.  Washington, DC is home to some fabulous art history, from the portrait gallery, to I.M. Pei's sculpture outside the East Gallery, to the incredible architecture all around you.  The Hirschhorn Sculpture Garden is no exception.  We had quite a fun time snapping photos in the sculpture garden, even taking advantage of some of the mirror-like qualities of some of the glass sculptures that appear like double exposures in these photos.  Oddly enough, my siblings are featured in these photos, and I rarely (if ever) show photos of them on my own blog!  I couldn't resist with these, though!  Be sure to stop by the Hirshhorn if ever you're in Washington.

Explore your surroundings

Hello dear, Tick Tock Vintage readers! Tieka here from Selective Potential! I was so excited when Veronika asked me to do a guest post with a travel theme. One of my favorite things to do is travel and go on adventures, especially in my own home state. My husband, Brett, and I started to take trips around our state when we were on a limited budget in college... and the tradition carries on today. Every month, we make sure to take a day or weekend trip somewhere in our home state of Michigan. When we started, we honestly had no idea the things we would find and all of the trips we could take. Now we've taken so many trips and still have so many places to go. It's one of my favorite things to blog about - our adventures. So I encourage you guys to get out, explore your surroundings and take advantage of your home state!

There's No Place Like Home


Hi Tick Tock Vintage Readers! I'm Morgan from Morgan and Lua. I was so excited when Veronika asked me to guest post because traveling is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I spent a lot of time studying and traveling abroad while I was in college and those are some of the most valuable experiences I have from my four years at school. I learned more about myself and the world in that short amount of time than I would have sitting in any kind of class. I love being able to meet new people and learn about the different places I'm visiting. I've been very lucky these past few months and to have been able to visit so many friends (old and new) across the country. I never would have guessed before visiting each of these places how much I ended up enjoying the cities I traveled to.

As much as I love to travel, there really is no place like home. I live and work in New York City with my dog Lua, but often escape the hectic city pace to spend weekends relaxing at the beach. Some of my favorite spots I've ever been to are places where I grew up. Quiet beaches, cliff trails, sunsets look outs, these are the places where I feel most myself. I love when people come to visit because I'm able to show them all the amazing places that are so near and dear to my heart. 

I'm very fortunate to have a place to escape to that doesn't require months of planning and a big budget. I can make the short road trip out there on weekends to clear my head and relax whenever I need to. 
Hope you all enjoyed taking a little peak at some of my favorite places!
Thanks Verokina for asking me to guest post and share some of the places I love so much! I hope you're having an amazing trip!! I can't wait to hear all about it.

Another Day to Dress Up

Hello lovely Tick Tock Vintage readers. This is Megan from Another Day to Dress Up. When Veronika asked me to guest blog I was thrilled - this is my first guest blogging experience! Then, when she told me that she me to post about a favorite vacation or a tour of my town, I was even more exited. After living in Orange County, CA for seven years, as of recently, I now hail in my hometown of Park City, Utah. Many of you have heard of Park City through its three top rated ski resorts, or as the home of the Sundance Film Festival, but I’m delighted today to show you the town through my eyes with a few of my favorite places to go and things to do. I hope you enjoy. And I'm going to apologize in advance for the picture overload- I just couldn't help myself!

Flat Rabbet Gallery


This is one of my absolute favorite shops on main street. It's crammed from floor to ceiling with beautiful vintage posters. Whether you are looking for a 1930's Vogue cover or an original Jules Cheret, you will find it here. But since I'm a girl on a budget, I love wandering around and picking through everything. The inspiration I find here is staggering!

 Park City Library/ Park City Movie Series

Origionally the Park City High School, this building was converted into the Library in 1993. Besides being an amazing example of late 1800's architecture ,The Park City Movie Series is hosted here on a weekly basis. The Movie Series focuses on independent films that would otherwise not be see in commercial theaters. And let me tell you, I have seen a bunch of amazing films through the series. Many being Sundance Film Fesival favorites that I was never able to get tickets to when they premiered!

 High West Distillary and Saloon

Not only is this the only distillary in Utah, they make damn good whiskey! Besides their award winning whiskey they also distill vodka and white whiskey AKA moonshine. High West is no doubt one of the best places in town to grab a drink, and to top it off the atmosphere is killer.

Kimball Art's Center

Known to many as the hub of the Sundance Film festival, the Kimball Art's center also hosts art classes and artist exhibits. Just last week there was an entire exhibit dedicated to shoes - I know you all would appreciate that. And the best part- the admission is always 100% free, you can't argue with that!

Old Town

Old town boasts main street as it's main destination, but if you take a minute to travel off of the beaten path you will see some amazing sights. I drive around old town on a weekly basis and admire the architecture. Many of the buildings in this district are considered historical and it's so amazing to see these 100+ year old buildings polished up and cherished. If only I could snatch up a rental property up here!
