This spring, I was thrilled to travel to Phoenix, Arizona for a week in March. From relaxing at the picturesque Lake Pleasant to exploring the various bars in Old Town Scottsdale, Phoenix is a balance between city life and a desert retreat.

I spent a summer weekend in southern Texas at Sam Rayburn Reservoir, where my grandparents own a lake house. I’ve been coming to this place since I was very young, and I decided to document what could be one of my final weekends here with my family.
