... from heading off on our biggest married adventure yet! We're goin' to Europe baby! This has been a dream of mine FOREVER and I am so excited to go! I never did the studying abroad thing when I was in college (a big regret), but getting to experience this trip with my best friend is going to be amazing =) I know the hubs is excited, too, seeing as though his last trip to Europe (a backpacking extravaganza with some buddies) ended up with him in the hospital and a sudden ticket home. So, here's to no hospitals and lots of fun! We saved up for this trip, thanks to an awesome travel rewards card that we took advantage of and a handful of less shopping trips from yours truly (it wasn't easy), but now the trip is around the corner!
Here's the agenda:
1) The Netherlands. I am half Dutch and looking forward to seeing "the homeland" as my brother calls it. We're staying with some wonderful family friends who live near Rotterdam and have been so kind to let us stay in their home and even show us around =)
2) Paris. This was not on the original schedule, but I begged Eric to take me. It's supposed to be romantic, right? I am looking forward to picnicing in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.
3) Italy. This is our main attraction. Eric did not make it to this leg of his previous journey (because of said hospital visit) and I can't imagine a better place to enjoy art as I so do ... we'll be hopping around from Venice to Florence to The Cinque Terre and ending with Rome.
No Germany, Austria, Switzerland or Spain ... but you can't see it all in 3 weeks. That will be the next trip ...
So this week will be filled with cleaning, laundry, shopping, packing and dropping the babies off at my parent's house (my mom and dad will be blessed by the Lord indeed). My biggest fear? Trying to pack for 3 weeks in one small suitcase. This should be interesting ...
Cheers!
