Italy Part Six
Friday, September 23. Once again we enjoyed our slow pace in the morning, reading our Bibles together, drinking our coffee and eating our cereal for breakfast. The airb&b did not have any bowls, though, so we had to get creative. But it worked! Since this was our last day in Italy and we had the…

Italy Part Five
Thursday, September 22 – We decided to skip breakfast this morning. We’ve grown tired of croissants. So I just had a granola bar and some coffee and we set out for a little more site seeing before we needed to get ready for the wedding. There was an old castle type overlook not far from…

Italy Part Four
Wednesday, September 21 – Our airb&b in Verona had a coffee maker in it. (Happy Dance) We could get up and drink our coffee at our own pace, read our Bibles together and take our time leaving for breakfast. Ahhhh…much better. There was something so satisfying about brewing my own cup of coffee. We still…

Italy Part Three
Tuesday, September 20. After another breakfast of croissants and coffee, we headed to our first destination of the day. The Bell Tower. We took an elevator to the top of this very tall building. Galileo was on the top of this tower and showed the Doge his telescope. That’s actually really cool to think about.…

Italy Part Two
Monday, September 19 We had our first “Italian breakfast”. This was much different than we expected. Coffee shops there do not have places to sit. It’s normal to just go in, order your croissant, your “shot” of coffee, eat it standing up at the counter, then pay and head out. It was good though. This…

Disney Part 2 – Hollywood Studios/Galaxies Edge
Tuesday, January 12 – Hollywood Studios Galaxy’s Edge was the main reason we went to this park. Being Star Wars fans, the kids really wanted to do the lightsaber experience and the droid building experience. I must say, I was really impressed. The detail that Disney went into to make this section of the park…

For our Anniversary, Trevor and I took the day of August 19th and went to Indianapolis. Just the two of us. We toured the State Museum…. went on a paddle boat ride…. got dressed up and enjoyed a nice dinner (which I forgot to take a picture of) and just spending time together. It wasn’t…
