Misc. travels…

We have had lots of great trips over the last few months - Maine (twice), South Carolina (twice), Canada, Boston, and Washington DC. It has been so much fun visiting with family and friends, sightseeing, and exploring! Here is another photo dump of our adventures...

Ok - this is just a random picture from Maine, but I couldn't resist posting (this was a little guy getting "tub time" at one of the shops we went to :-))

After a few years of not being able to go to Canada (because of Covid), it was so nice to explore my parents...

Just a random cute picture of my dog :-)

and another one of her in the snow...

Beautiful Maine!

The fire is so nice!

We spent Christmas with the whole family (including Bailey, Logan, and Max) in Hilton Head - such a gift!

We walked a big chunk of the Freedom Trail in Boston

Mia in Florida

Mia at the Cheers Bar in Boston

Painting with Bailey, Logan, and Mia! Do you have a favorite? Ha ha! ;-)

And the lighthouse on Campobello Island in Canada 

The Bay of Fundy has one of the largest tidal changes in the World! These rocks get covered up when the tide changes.

A reminder of how much we will miss the pizza in Italy!

So wonderful to all be back together (if even for a short time!!)

 

College tours

It is so crazy to me that our youngest is looking at Universities! We had a great time visiting schools with one of her very best friends. Who knows what the future holds, but it is really fun (and to be real, also a little stressful) to think about!

 

It’s been a minute..

 Wow - it has been such a long time since I last posted! Here is a quick photo dump from my phone. The biggest news that we have is that we moved to Germany! (Yes - it has been a bit crazy, but all is good). We are excited for our new home, but will really miss Italy. Here are some random pics of our last days in Italy...

The Chocolate Festival in Vicenza

Beautiful Vicenza - this was our amazing daily view

Kiwi at the Christmas Market (She looks thrilled - ha ha!)

Delicious Hot Chocolate or "Cioccolata Calda" as they say in Italy

We will sooo miss the Cappuccino (for like a 1.50 euro, I might add!!)

Our Christmas tree..

And the Brioche will be so greatly missed as well!

Beautiful Vicenza with the Dolomites in the background

A cool antique market we went to (it is supposed to be the biggest in Italy!)

A Christmas Market in Verona (not quite to the standard of Germany, but not too bad :-))
