I’m home and ready to start booking!

We are back!! And to say thank you for all those waiting patiently for my return, and all the new friends who’ve found me during my absence, I thought I’d share a little of our journeys. 🙂 Here are some of my favorite images (although far from perfect!) from the summer abroad. This first one is probably my new absolute most favorite place on earth. The Cinque Terre in Italy. I could have stayed there and never come back!

Next up is Giverny, which is a small city in the country outside of Paris. Giverny is the home of Monet and his famous gardens. This was my youngest drawing her version of Monet’s lily ponds. I loved how the art just poured out of them while we were there! Incredible culture and lifestyle, such rich history, views that you just can’t get enough of and the most embracing people you’ll ever find.

This is the amazing Mont Blanc found in the Alps. The Alps is probably a close second for me as one of those must see things in life. Its awe inspiring, and someplace that’s hard to appreciate without ever having been there in person. And being from the South, my kids were more than happy to see all the snow!

Here is a panoramic of Nice, France. The pebble beaches were awesome, but honestly I craved the Florida sand! We did spend a good week in this area though, along with Monaco.

Fifth is a darling city right before you hit the Alps. I can’t remember the name of it right now, but we will be staying there again if we ever make it back. Incredible views, incredible people, and incredible history! The ruins here were outstanding, and with the Alps as a backdrop, you just can’t pass it up!

So here are those pebble beaches in Nice. They are beautiful, but not ultra comfortable to walk on. Everyone was just laying on towels, which you do get used to, but everyone was also walking around with shoes still on. Shoes are a must! This was about the only time I ever saw any of them with their shoes off during beach time!

I don’t even remember where this is from exactly, but it was in Italy. Italy is amazing. It’s a place we would move if we could. And if they get their financials back together. 😉

So there you have a quick journey from some of our fun the last few months. I swear I had some of Rome to show too, but I guess I will save that for another time! I’m currently booking for this fall, so jump in now if you want before it all fills up. If you’ve ever had pictures taken (or I mean, come on, even just tried to go shopping!) everything gets crazy busy crazy fast! And for those who’s pictures I’ve already shot since being back… they will be up over the next couple of days, so keep on the look-out!
