Charlotte Jane Memorial Cemetery in Coconut Grove, Miami

 Back in December 2020 my parents and I visited the historic Charlotte Jane Memorial Cemetery in Coconut Grove in between our tours of tropical gardens in the area. This cemetery is rumored to be part of the inspiration for Michael Jackson's Thriller music video. I saw this graveyard from the road and immediately was intrigued. I have loved roaming graves for years, but I've never been to a cemetery as thrilling as this! Back in 2016 I visited Nola on a solo trip and explored many historic cemeteries alone. I love reading what the epitaphs say.. I love seeing how old the dates are. 

I don't think my parents totally understand my obsession but they humored me and joined me on the little tour. Thanks for humoring my love of morbid things, Mom & Dad! <3

thanks for taking a look. Do you enjoy visiting cemeteries? What's your favorite part?

love, polly

Outfit: Florida Keys Christmas

Traveling to the Florida Keys is a tradition in my family as you might have noticed... and after the year 2020 presented I decided to take my ticket and just go for it. I spent Thanksgiving alone while everyone else seemed to gather with their families. I did my best to always wear my mask and stay away from other people. It was so incredibly nice to be in the sun and swim in a heated pool. Seeing the palm trees and iguanas roaming around is also always a favorite part for me. I am really thankful I was able to spend the holiday with my parents seeing beautiful nature and we were able to eat our meals outside while distancing ourselves.

Happy New Year!

love, polly

Miami + Key Largo Travels

For Christmas 2019 I flew to Miami to spend the week with my family at my grandmother's little house on the ocean in Key Largo. I have been coming here since I was a young girl, so it kind of feels like a second home. It's so nice to wake up and look out at the ocean. I am so thankful. If you're around the Miami area, I highly recommend visiting Vizcaya Gardens, where many of these photos were taken! 

love, polly
