Reuniting with High School
We took a couple trips to Washington this summer. The first trip was for my *gulp* 10-year high school reunion. I always knew that I wanted go to my reunion but I decided to do some informal research to see what other people’s experiences where at their reunions. The resounding and slightly shocking answer from [...]
Catching our breath
It’s been some time since we’ve updated our blog and I apologize for that. This year, especially the past two months, have been extremely busy. I’m just now catching my breath. Nate and I have been up to a lot this year and I have so many ideas and stories to write about. I also [...]
Ringing in 2009
Whew! The holidays are now over and I have recovered from our travels up north to see friends and family. We had a wonderful time catching up with everyone and I cherished every minute spent with my nephew and nieces. I caught a nasty little cold but I’m finally all better and ready to face [...]
Last day in London
May 25, 2008 – Sunday: London
We accidentally slept in until 1:30! I guess we are both still recovering from jet lag. We didn’t have much planned for the day so it’s not that big of a deal but it’s our last day in London and I still wanted to squeeze in as much as possible. [...]
A Palace, a Tower and a glass of wine
May 24, 2008 – Saturday : London
Today was much more laid back compared to yesterday. We slept in a little, had some breakfast at our hotel and then walked to Buckingham Palace. The changing of the guard happened at 11:20 and even though we got there at 11:00 it was already crazy. There were people [...]

London is amazing! After we landed at Heathrow Airport at about 3:00pm local time, we got our packs from baggage, went through customs and headed to our hotel. We bought a 7-day subway card and followed the signs for Victoria Station. Our hotel, Elizabeth House, in in Westminster [...]
Back to the beginning
I’ve been flipping through the journal that I kept while we were in Europe and I thought that maybe I should post some of the entries here. I know we didn’t do as many posts as we had intended but I still have a desire for you to hear about our adventures. It [...]
Lessons Learned in France : Priceless
I have been dreading writing this post. I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to say for the past 8 days and I’m still no closer to knowing how to put my thoughts into words. So I’m just going to come out and say it: Nate and I have decided to move [...]
Travel Photos, Finally
Finally. We’ve had enough time to do a few updates and, as you can tell, we’re finally getting a few things updated on the site. First thing: the photos. It’s about time.
Also, I (Nate) finally got off my butt and fixed the map on the right too. Fixing that not [...]
The Fine Cuisine of Aurignac
Although Nate and I are trying to save money we decided to splurge a little last week and go out for a relaxing dinner. We went to a local pub and took a seat. They didn’t have a very large menu but they did have about 7 items on a Plat de Jour [...]
