Love making memories with my B!

Buon Giorno!

Buon giorno! 

Bryan and I are going to Rome! We are excited to explore Italy, eat pasta and gellato and say "When in Rome" any time we want to splurge! Since B and I have never been to Rome..we made it our next European destination get-away! (last time we went to Paris) We have been taking notes of all the sights to see and things to do there! 

After 3 days, we will say ciao to Rome and Bonjour to Switzerland where we are staying for the rest of our European trip for some quality family time with my Daddy, my big sister Pam & her husband Kevin!

My dad, who is now a member of the Swiss hiking club, always plans these amazing excursions for the family! (side note: Pam and I are trying to get him to start blogging about his Swiss hiking experiences. Stay tuned for that! If not a blog, maybe a book!) Take a look at some of the pics from our 2010 Switzerland hiking trip! 

That's us!

My dad loves to take us on hiking trips when we are all together in Switzerland. That way we not only see the Swiss mountains, but really experience the beauty of Switzerland. We've skied in the Swiss Alps (well, we tried to get Reese to ski but she was NOT going to have it! I think it was the ski boots!) We've walked on glaciers, hiked through beautiful pastures and mountains, and even had a snack break right next to the Matterhorn. (below!)

located on the Pennine Alps on the border
between Switzerland and Italy 

Only 3 more days until Bryan and I leave Los Angeles & arrive in Europe! I'm getting SO excited I've already started packing! I can't wait to tell you about our next adventure with  photos to come! Long story short, I am so blessed with an amazing family to make memories with!  

Au revoir! A la prochaine! (Good bye! Until next time!) 

Home Sweet Suisse Home

 I adore my family. I love spending time with them, no matter the location, when we are all together in the same place, I cherish every moment! This past week I flew from LA to NYC to meet up with my family (who flew in from Texas) and then we flew 8 more hours en route to Geneva,  Switzerland!

I adore all things Suisse now that I have gotten a chance to go three times now! It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! I hope you enjoy the photos from our family trip last week! We had a blast skiing/hiking in the Suisse mountains, shopping in Geneva, Montreaux & other charming areas, riding the trains, attempting to speak french, dining, etc! Here are few of the memories made last week! 

Celebrating One Year

Bryan and I celebrated our one year anniversary this past week with lots of activities! First we went out to celebrate on our actual anniversary day (2/13) to Boa Steakhouse in West Hollywood for a romantic dinner! Then we decided to continue to celebrate our one year by taking a trip to Northern California to hang out in San Fran, Napa and Sonoma. B is so romantic...we were strolling around San Fran and we went to the exact spot where he proposed to me almost 2 years ago! Then he pulled out a tiffany's box and said, "Happy Anniversary!" After spending time in San Fran we drove to Napa and stopped at Domaine Carneros Winery for some wine tasting! Then we headed to the Sonoma coast for a night at The Bodega Bay Resort. It was truly a relaxing weekend celebrating our amazing first year of marriage together!

Laguna Beach

Last weekend Bryan and I left the hustle and bustle of LA for a weekend road trip to Laguna Beach! (It's about an hour or so from Hollywood) We stayed at a charming hotel right on the beach where we could sit out on the balcony and enjoy the ocean, go for long walks on the beach and of course watch the sunset together. We had a lovely time!
