rain on me!

I was freaking out last night as I watched the Beach Volleyball finals! Don't you just love the Olympics! China was super fun to watch as well. They are talented and definitely put up a challenge for USA. I love the intensity the May and Walsh bring to the game. It was so exciting to watch. I was also amazed that they make it look easy to play in pouring rain!

Paris is Lovely! What more can I say? We saw so much! I loved Versailles. I had never been there before and thought it was so cool. I textiles in Versailles alone were amazing. I could have spent hours in the gardens. They were gorgeous. I also loved the boat ride on the river Seine. It is a pretty touristy thing to do but I loved it. It was a lovely night and the sun was setting which made for some beautiful pictures.

   I went to Italy! We went to Milan, Assisi, Florence, Rome, Pisa, Lake Como, Ravenna, and Venice. I really love italy. I about died went we went to Lake Como. It was so dang gorgeous! Ravenna had mosaics that about brought tears to my eyes. I really could go on and on about each place I visited but I will spare you. I'll let the pictures do the telling.

We spent the first 3 days of our Europe trip in London. I've been to London before but this time it felt so different. Maybe because it was Summer and it was sunny instead of rainy. I love London. Some of my highlights were the Tower of London, the London Eye, and the Roman Baths.

Next we went to Paris. More on that later.

I'm baaaack

Oh how I have missed blogging! I am happy to be back.

I got home from Europe on Wed. I had such a great time and I am excited to show you my pictures.

My family is all in Utah this week and it makes me so happy! We have spent a lot of time at the pool and watching the Olympics...oh and eating!

I am loooving the Olympics. Yesterday I watched lots of Beach Volleyball and saw Michael Phelps win Gold in the IM. Amazing!
