Honeymoon Part 2

How amazing is this bridge...right smack in the middle of the city...I love it!! There is so much history in Europe and it always amazes me to be a part of it while I'm there...I think its absolutly breathtaking!!
This sign is right outside Kensington Palace

After London we hopped on a plane and headed to Germany...We explored Luneburg and Hamburg. We stayed with my old roommate from England and had a blast catching up with him and meeting his girlfriend and friends. Luneburg is an adorable city with cobble stone streets and the tours of the city are done with horse and buggy...we ate yummy food and enjoyed German beer.

Next stop Amsterdam....

Honeymoon Part 1

Our honeymoon was an amazing adventure!! We were able to spend a month in Europe. Dana knew how much I wanted to go back and he had never been so we set off two days after our wedding!! We began in Dublin Ireland and spent three days trying to adjust to the time change and relax after months of stressful wedding planning!! Lots of whiskey was consumed and Irish music was all around...I have a love for both of those things and so does the hubs so it worked out wonderful...we stayed in a B&B, which was heavenly considering the last time I was there I was in a hostel! Oh how I missed pubs!!
After Ireland we went to Scotland...we were both looking forward to this country alot...we stayed in a B&B in Edinburgh for a few days, that city is amazing! I love how you can be anywhere in the city and look up and see the castle that overlooks the city. The buildings are so old and were built with such beauty (Im a little bummed that they are putting a tram down the middle of the city, it's going to ruin the beauty, but oh well public transportation is the way to go in Europe, America needs to catch up)
Edinburgh Castle

Dinner in the castle that we stayed in!! The most amazing food ever!!


After Edinburgh, we traveled to a small town and stayed two nights in this castle....it was awesome!! The queen of Scots used to live here and we were told that it looks the same as it did when she lived there with the exceptions of bathrooms and electricity...we spent two quiet days here with a picnic in the country and horseback riding through the Scotish country side, absolutly perfect days...


Oh London, how I love you...the hubs didn't like London, not a fan of the million people, but this city holds a special part of me and I loved showing him around...it was my 5th time being in the city and each time I fall more in love with it, I would move there if he would let us, but that's never going to happen:)

Starting from the Beginning
















I've been wanting to start a blog since the birth of our baby, but haven't gotten around to it...so I'm finally beginning. I think it will be a fun way of remembering all the things our family does and for others to stay caught up on us...I'm starting with our wedding considering Avery was our honeymoon surprise, I figure the wedding is the beginning of our new life together. We were married on June 20, 2009 at Orfila Vineyards...the day was amazing and everything turned out perfectly!! Here are a few photos of our day!!!
