We splurged on a tour to Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath because we thought it would save us a lot of time and hassle in seeing these three places. Well…that wasn’t exactly the case. We had the meanest tour guide EVER and we were rushed through every single site. It started in Windsor. The tour had left…
Our day began at St Paul’s Cathedral. It’s such a beautiful building! But we had quite the adventure to get there. We took the train form Clapham Junction and then needed to transfer to the Underground at Victoria Station. Well–Victoria was too congested so they closed the gates and we were all trapped like cattle!…
Happy 38th birthday Rusty! He woke up in Rome, and went to sleep in London! After 48 whirlwind hours in Rome it was time to head to London. We flew out of Fuimicino airport. What a beautiful airport! And don’t the boys look like they could pose for an Android ad? We arrived in Gatwick…
Rusty here. Our apartment was right in the middle of the beginning of the more residential area of Rome. Just east of the Colosseum and a fair ways east of the old downtown area. Our apartment was far better than our Paris apartment, but it was quite strange. It was one corridor with a 90…
Monday morning we got up kind of early because we wanted to eat at Campo di’Fiori Market before we went over to Vatican City. Our third country of the trip 🙂 We took the bus, the very packed bus, which means we started our day on our feet – and would pretty much stay on…
We woke up at 6am in Paris to our phones buzzing telling us our 10am flight to Rome had been cancelled and we’d been rebooked to a 3pm flight. There was an air traffic controller strike somewhere else in France. Bummer. We had to check out at 11 so we decided to head to the…
Josh and Blake we both exhausted from their big days the day before. I figured they really wouldn’t care about the Louvre and so Rusty and I stayed back in the morning while Halle and everyone else went to the Louvre. And I’m so glad we stayed. The boys slept until 10:15!Halle and company quickly…
While everyone else was still waking up, Nat and I walked to a nearby boulangerie to get some croissants. We had also picked up some yogurt in glass containers and some strawberries. It made for the perfect breakfast. The night before we hit the grocery store and Rusty needed to run to the ATM. We…
Rusty got the flu about 10 days before we were leaving on our trip. And by the day before it had settled into pnumonia. It was sooo miserable for both of us. I had to get the entire house and all the children ready without his help. And he has never been so sick in…
When Kasey sent me a deal for $89 round trip tickets from Denver to SLC, I knew I couldn’t pass up the chance to come out for Kristin’s wedding. And I’m so glad I did. I had the absolutely best time. It filled my cup to the brim. First up was a bowling party the…
