The final travel blog! And I’m writing it as I’m at the airport going to Switzerland… I passed AirFrance and man, was I tempted… So, I think I finished off when I had dropped J off at the hotel while he was deathly ill… I drove 20m and “tried” to find the street. I think […]

We took two “excursions” once we arrived in Sainte Maxime. We went to St. Tropez twice and then we went to Monaco after we dropped J off at the airport. I figured I would cover those both together since they were mini-trips… sort of! We arrived to Sainte Maxime on a Sunday. Monday I didn’t […]

If riding bikes next to the Seine was my favorite activity, getting lost in Provence was my favorite memory. We left Paris on the train which was a nice adventure. We had almost two hours at the train station and we sat around, figured out that bathrooms cost money, and browsed the shops. Sam and […]

It’s going on two months since we first left for Paris. I still think it’s worthwhile to capture the highlights as I look back at my photo memories. It’s funny saying goodbye already but I thoroughly covered arriving, our first day, and the most fun bike riding adventure ever, so I’m just going to cram […]

Ahh, Day 2… In my Arriving post, I did show how I ran the morning of Day 2… but I’m really counting the start of the day as all of us wandering off with Pascal! Unfortunately, I was doing… something. What was I doing? I was going to the store for medicine or bread or […]

It’s the hard times that make the good times so sweet. We wanted to ride bikes along the Seine and I had nixed a 3 hour tour that my Mom had found. It had seemed too long and I just wanted to rent bikes and wander around ourselves. It felt like a good idea at […]

It finally hit me that we were going to France when I saw the sign in the airport that said Paris. The weeks leading up to the trip were surreal. A lot was happening, people were sick, packing was commencing. The flight was long. “How was the flight?” I dunno, it was an international flight. […]

I hate it when you realize you should have done something and there is technically a fix for it and it won’t be that hard but it SEEMS really hard. And you just keep thinking of ways to not do the hard difficult thing. You make excuses and reasons for why it may be a […]

Whew! The last full day was a Friday and we had a walking tour to see the Changing of the Guard. We jumped on the Underground to meet the group at Piccadilly Circus and took a few pictures at the fountain. Can I say I’m an awesome photographer? Look at that! Beautiful photo, fountain behind […]

Thursday was our day to visit Windsor which was a 4-5 hour experience so we didn’t plan much else. When I was researching, I thought it would be fun to go to Little Venice and explore the canals, have breakfast, and rent bikes and ride around. We made plans to meet at 8:45am and at […]

Continued from Day 1. I ended up making it to the Tower of London after not setting an alarm in the morning and therefore waking up terribly late. I forced them to go on without me but Dad grabbed a coffee at “Paul’s” which made him super happy and allowed me to catch up 20m […]

While London is a trip in itself, it was really the 3rd leg of a longer travel adventure. I started off in Fort Lauderdale at a work event, which was successful. Then, had a beautiful 48 hours with my Besties in Miami (which needs a recap itself!) and then got on a plane at 9PM […]

I’ve been listening to Taylor Swift since… so long ago. I’m assuming I started listening around her Fearless Era, where Griffin would have been under one year old and Love Story was very popular on the radio. I know I was hooked. I loved that song (still do!). I vividly remember watching the White Horse […]

This summer was a bit of a haze. The kids were quite busy. Griffin was gone almost three weeks – one week at Boy Scout summer camp in Oregon and then backpacking for two weeks at Philmont. While he was gone, Sam and I kept busy with sleepovers at JJ’s, movies, and hikes. I had […]

After being on the ship for a day, we felt we would want to get out and walk around when we hit Ketchikan, Alaska. So we booked a tour with Wild Wolf Tours which ended up being fantastic. It took me a few minutes to realize we would NOT SEE WOLVES. Seriously. It was named […]
