We’re going to Europe!

I’ve not been throughout the pond since I studied at Cambridge for a summer season in school. And Thomas has by no means been to Europe! My dad and mom took us to London and Paris once I was in highschool after which I traveled across the UK in the summertime of 2004, however we simply haven’t had the time or childcare to make an extended journey occur…..till now. The boys begged to go to Grammy and Pea’s for 2 weeks subsequent summer season. My dad and mom generously agreed on a ten day go to subsequent June, so I requested if it will be okay if we left the nation. They mentioned sure!

My sister is a seasoned journey advisor, and belief me once I inform you we spent WEEKS constantly discussing the place we must always go and what we must always do! We’re specializing in the Mediterranean as a result of we love heat climate and water, and we debated doing per week in a single location or break up between two or happening a cruise that had extra selection. Since journey days take up a whole lot of time and power, we determined a cruise would permit us to see extra with out the trouble of packing and unpacking. We’re excited concerning the smaller-ship / higher-end cruise line that Laura really useful: Explora.

We’re taking a seven day cruise that leaves from Rome and ends in Barcelona. Alongside the way in which we cease in Naples, Sicily, Tunisia, Sardinia, and Mallorca. We’re simply wrapping up reserving accommodations for our Rome and Barcelona nights.

(Be taught extra about how we accumulate and spend bank card factors to journey right here and my favourite playing cards right here (these are affiliate hyperlinks)) I can’t wait!

This Weekend

We’re celebrating this weekend with a dressing up get together, and I’m going as a Scorpio aka Scorpion! You’ll be able to see the equipment I purchased in my Amazon Halloween store.

I don’t actually “consider” in zodiac indicators, however I’ll say that all the pieces I’ve ever examine Scorpios is true to me, so maybe I’ve fulfilled the prophecy! I ponder if Birch will even have an analogous persona when he’s older. I do know that we share the identical love languages (phrases and contact).

Birch turns six on the twenty ninth (yay for one more 6!) and he’s all about his birthday this 12 months. He’s been planning his get together for months! I can’t wait to offer him his items, together with a distant managed spider. He does share a love for Halloween <3
