Europe Baby!!!

So, get ready for a lot of pictures. We went to Europe in October and had an amazing time. Nothing beats no work for two weeks, being with Brandon all day and seeing some of the most beautiful places.

ISTANBUL, TURKEY:

This guy was trying his best to sell Brandon these necklaces. You can imagine how Brandon had him going. I felt bad for the guy.

These girls were adorable.

We did a lot of this..

So, I feel at times you can be so excited to see a new city or country and it just doesn't quite live up to its expectation. Not Turkey. Everything in Turkey is absolutely amazing. There is so much to see, so much detail and so much culture. I loved it.

ENGLAND:

Another thing that did not disappoint is seeing Wicked. We got great seats and I loved every minute of it. I still sing the songs every day.

We had the tiniest hotel room I have ever stayed in for one night in London. It was disgusting, small and soooo expensive.

We had such a good time with my brother and his family in Odiham. I miss these kids so much.

This store was AMAZING! It was filled with authentic, antique sewing machines. Brandon fell in love with the clothes. Someday maybe we can afford to buy something there.

Hampton Court

It was interesting to learn about King Henry VIII. He seems like quite the ladies man. Brandon and I just watched The Other Boleyn Girl, which is all about one of his wives. I totally recommend it.

Gracie Lou

Caroline's school

Stonehenge

King Arthur's round table (supposedly)

Windsor Palace

PARIS:

Love, love, love Paris. I could truly live here.

This was an amazing spice store. The building has never been renovated and it's been around for hundreds of years.

This was the best meal I have ever eaten. I find myself daydreaming about this food often.

We went on this amazing architecture tour with our guide Christina. We started at 10am, ended at 6pm and only sat down once.

Our favorite; Musee d' Orsay

To sum it up, Europe is a dream.
