Let the Weekend Begin

Living away from your extended family is good and bad. First, the family drama is not at your door step. That also means grandma can't be your on call babysitter. We enjoy living far away, it makes going back a little more special.
Since Xavier was born it seems two weekends a month have been spent visiting family. This weekend we are heading north to see the Martinez/Luna family.

Family in Town

This weekend my grandparents came to town. We celebrated my grandfather's 87th birthday, took Xavier to a parade and spent lots of time sharing family memories.

Vacation Recap

It has been a few weeks now since we returned from our big trip, and people keep asking what was your favorite part. I have a hard time answering, the whole trip was fantastic. I don't know that I can say one part out shinned the rest. I will say my favorite museum was the Musee d' Orsey. The most memorable was walking the streets of Paris with my husband, and of course getting to catch up with friends in London.

I also learned a few things while traveling this time. You really only need to travel with two things a credit card and your iPhone.

A weekend in London

Three days is really not much time to pack in all the cites but these last three days have been a lot of fun. We seen some of the big landmarks, shopped with the locals, had a proper pub roast and most importantly we chilled with our friends. Now it is time to head home and get back to our daily routine.

Au Revoir Paris, London is Calling.

Wow, looking at a map of Paris I'm pretty sure we walked every arrondissement. We seen some interesting artwork, beautiful architecture and lovely gardens. Now it is time to pack our bags and catch our train.

Pastries by the Seine

After a morning of looking at art and architecture. Afternoon pastries sounded like the perfect treat.

Road trip

We just returned from a long weekend back in Idaho. It's nice to go back and enjoy the slow pace of the country. Xavier loved spending time with his grandparents and all their fun toys. The drive wasn't that bad until the last 100 miles when the traffic turned to a slow crawl.
