Hi B Side readers, this is the co-pilot and thus far silent partner of the Blog, Bri! Brandon has been keeping you up to date on all of our activities with his descriptive and witty posts, meanwhile by his side I have been helping select the photos and participating in all the activities! :)
After a couple great weeks of honeymooning/traveling we've seen a few different cities, each unique and amazing. Thankfully we've been able to document our journey and easily share with wifi access everywhere. Along the way I've also been taking pictures on my phone and sharing via instagram when I can. Brandon makes fun of me for taking so many pictures on my phone but they've captured some great parts of our trip.
Here are some snippets from our two stops in Thailand so far.
