Life is gritty, messy, chaotic and imperfect. I want to remember every moment of it!
We took Maximus to the beach for the first time while we were in Naples. We have been trying to get him into the pool at home for a year so we thought going to the beach would make him more interested in the water. He loved it. He was hesitant initially and did a high paw dance that looked […]
Kobe and I took Mo coffee at work and got an impromptu tour of the area he was training in. Kobe loved getting to see his dad in action. On the way back to the hotel we picked up donuts from Peace, Love and Lots of Donuts. The owner Isabelle was a delight to talk to, we spent 20 minutes […]
The kids opted to spend the hottest part of day at the Coastland Center Mall. Mo and I had lunch at a Mexican restaurant called K-Rico. The food was fresh, full […]
We stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriott because they are pet friendly. We spent most of our trip being lazy in the hotel. It was my favorite. Days of rest and togetherness, it’s all I needed.
My husband has a work trip in Naples this week. The kids and I decided to make a vaca out of it. This is only the second road trip Maximus […]
The Bellagio is an area that is very touristy and congested which made us appreciate the quiet spaces of our bed and breakfast. It was located in a secluded area of Lake Como with gorgeous views of the mountains around us. Mo and I had a blast exploring the open roads and hills around our B&B. Pauola, the sweet Colombian […]
From Milan we took a train, then a ferry across Lake Como. When I say take your breath away views, I am not exaggerating. There is nothing more beautiful then when mountains collide with the deepest of blue waters. The sunsets were surreal. We rode the ferry to where we were staying near the Bellagio. One sketchy moment was when […]
We were ENAMORED by Milan. The richness of the architecture and the beauty in every little detail from the simple designs of homes to intricacies of monuments. I loved that there was color everywhere. Blooming flowers overflowed off windowsills and whether I was looking at the floor, wall or ceilings there was touches of an artist hue in every […]
We finally made it to Milan following thirteen hours on planes, a train and a taxi. We initially landed in Zurich and explored for a few hours waiting on the train that would take us into Italy. Right away we ran into our first “we’re not in Kansas anymore” moment. Mo had to go to the bathroom. Once we found […]
