While we’ve been to Prague, we’d never really felt like we’d been to Eastern Europe. Our time in Hungary was an eye-opening learning experience. We’re thankful for the chance to have seen it with our own eyes and experience the culture firsthand.

Although we’ve only been away a few short months, we feel like we’ve both left pieces of our hearts behind. No matter how far we go or how long we stay away, somehow we know one day we’ll be back. Barcelona is most definitely a home away from home.

During our last few months, we had the joy of welcoming many wonderful visitors, passing beautiful sun soaked days in some of our favorite places and generally living life to the fullest.

To make the timing even more perfect, Ross’s parents were going to be in town during Sevilla’s Feria de Abril. So, we all booked tickets and headed south!

We want to send a great big thank you to our dear friends Rich and Karen who graciously opened their home to us and helped us have such a fantastic visit. We’re so glad to have been able to spend such a wonderful weekend with you!

We also want to thank Chuck and Marilyn for joining us as well as sharing some of their photos for this post!

The scenery is incredible, and although we have many photos of it, they don’t even begin to do it justice. We had a fabulous time exploring the town, taking in the sites and spending time with our friends.

After a couple of stop overs (to pick up Rocky) we were all together again – this time in Barcelona! Our first couple of months here have been really wonderful. We’re definitely looking forward to the rest of our time and lots more fun, friends and adventures!

We were able to see many of those who are most important to us and spend some great time simply enjoying each others’ company. We want to send a big thank you to all of those who made it such a fantastic trip – it was so good to see you all!

After a whirlwind summer we were ready to set our things down for a bit so we decided to head back to someplace more familiar – Berlin. Since we posted most of Berlin’s famous landmarks and sites on our first stay here, the collection below is much more specific to our neighborhood and favorite spots.

We spent the whole weekend on a Beatles mission and are pretty happy about everything we discovered.

The title of this post is a reference to an incredible Beatles’ song as well as a great movie we encourage everyone to watch.

While the photos we’ve assembled here do their best to capture all that is Paris, they hardly do it justice. In addition to the amazing sites, we met some incredible friends and had a visit from the one and only Katie Renne! It was an incredible summer, Paris, je t’aime!

This time, we headed north to Amsterdam. Amazingly, we went from Paris, through Belgium and into Holland on a single tank of gas! Now that’s what I like to call accessibility. We had a wonderful time in Amsterdam visiting with old friends and sharing some of our favorite spots.
