Allison and Ryan are one of the most adventurous, spontaneous couples I know, always jetting off to far-flung corners of the earth on a whim or hiking and biking the roughest trails in Hawaii where they currently live.

Molly and her sweet little boy Cohen joined me at Bob Jones Nature Center on a beautiful late summer evening.
