3.14
Pi day – for all those nerds out there is 3.14. I was just informed by my hot hubs that we were married on Pi day. Therefore we must have pie on every anniversary from here on out. This year we missed the memo. Instead, we seriously rocked out our anniversary weekend: snowmobiling, romantic dinner…

St. Regis, Deer Valley
Now, if you’re anything like me, you like, no love, to be pampered. And when I say pampered, I mean like princess style. You know, like a long hot bubble with a glass of wine. Oh wait, put that bubble bath in view of a fireplace, and tell me I have unlimited access to a…

Mekena Bay Wedding
Maui, Hawaii
Some brides plan and design and re-plan and make a million phone calls and then get everything planned again so that their day is the best wedding day of their dreams. And I bet each of them would tell you it’s totally worth it. However, this bride did things just a bit differently. She knows…

Destination: Italy
Cuisine
The old, intricate history of Rome, the quite romantic bridges of Venice, the stunning scenery of Cinque Terre, the colors and romance of Florence… they were all wonderful… but the real reason we actually chose to go to Italy: the food. That’s right, we chose our destination based on the cuisine. I love to travel, would go anywhere, but…

Destination: Italy
Florence
ntricate details outlined with colors and marks of age. This was the highlighting aspects that made our last stop in Italy fabulous. Florence was a working city, a Disneyland where people actually lived. It was so beautiful I don’t know that I can even explain it with words… so here are the pictures to tell…

Destination: Italy
Tuscany
After exploring Cinque Terre, we hopped back in our super sweet Panda, and drove down the coast line of western Italy. Seriously, if you’ve been to the California central coast – just imagine it on steroids. Like the water is actually blue, the cliffs are just as beautiful, and the houses are brightly colored. Oh, and there’s castles in…

Destination: Italy
Cinque Terre
Our next romantic destination was Cinque Terre. This unique national park holds five cities built on the cliffs of the Mediterranean Sea. They were built as farming towns, harvesting the sweet grapes of the ocean, and as a second industry they were (and still are!) excellent fishers. The mixture of sea village and vineyard is just…

Destination: Italy
Venice
The next stop was a city filled with romance, beauty, intricate details, delicate bridges and floating wonders: Venice, Italy. The hustle and bustle of Rome was left behind for a quite, laid back atmosphere where you could almost hear the Gondola drivers sing “bella note” To top of this wonderland of canals and architecture, was…

Destination: Italy
Rome
On our anniversary trip, our first stop in Italy was Rome. All I can say is, amazing. We went to the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Old Forum, all the fabulous iconic sites, but we discovered one of our favorite things was just walking around and seeing what we discovered. Because, literally, everywhere there was amazing spots like this…

Destination: France
Paris
After one year of pure marital bliss (ok, and some stress and a little adjusting) we wanted to celebrate with some serious quality time together. After a bit of deliberating, we settled on our travel destination: Italy!!! I love traveling, and G-man loves him some Italian food… so Italy was the perfect fit. And seriously,…
