A trip down memory lane.....

Since we're in the traveling season...I thought I would do a super duper long post about previous vacations.  We have a few weeks before we take our big summer trip....so this will calm my anticipation as the date gets closer.  My sweet new bloggy friend, Newlyweds Next Door, gave me the idea to post our honeymoon pictures.  Check her out.....I loved looking at her vaca picts.  I was reading her blog a few days ago and looking at her European trip pictures....got all emotional and had to get out our memory book and flip through it with The Mr. 
Warning: This post will be long and picture heavy....but I don't think there will be any kitty pictures. teehee!!!

Honeymoon June 2010:
We traveled to Spain, Italy, and France.  The trip was 2 weeks long and we traveled by land for the first 7 days and then we spent the next 7 days making stops while on a cruise ship.  We did a guided tour ...and we are so thankful we chose that...we met new friends that we will have for life and we saw so many historical places that I never would have known to go see if I were planning the trip.  (Plus, you make friends and that means you get picture taking buddies!!!!)
Spain:
Madrid-

We were told to watch out for the gypsies at this park...seriously....   they told us they were beautiful women that would pick-pocket your husband.   Geez!!!!

Touring this castle was one of my favorites!!! 

The Prado Museum was awesome.  Historic pieces in every room.

Walking around the city like little lovebirds.

We never missed a meal...or dessert!!!!

Toledo:

We spent the day in Toledo.  We felt like time stopped when we were here.  No computers.....   just an old old city with beautiful cathedrals.

Our group.   We loved traveling with these people!!!

Barcelona:

The dancing fountain.  You've seen the replica of this in Las Vegas.  

I thought it would be the perfect time to surprise my new Mr.with his wedding gift. 

Just the face I wanted to see!  He was so surprised!!

I'm pretty dorky...I have the inside engraved with our "saying".

We spent our last night in Spain eating dinner on the fisherman's pier with our new trip family!!!

Italy:

Capri

Imagining what a real battle was like in there!!!!

He ate this for lunch every.single.day.  

My favorite place...The Vatican.

France:

Farmers Market

Can water really be that blue??!?!

The Mr. loooved looking at the yachts.

Catching some Mediterranean rays before we set sail.

Headed home...   

Okay....I thought I would make this one post all about vacations...but that was obviously a little long!  I think the honeymoon pictures are enough!!!!! (I have about 300 more pictures that haven't been posted....can we say overboard!!!)   I loved going through these pictures and writing little notes under them.  We are so thankful we started our marriage with such a wonderful adventure.  Thanks for letting me dump all these memories in one spot!!!
