FIRENZE

2009-12-06T16:39:00.000-08:00

Florence and it's many beautiful sights...

With Trace's iPhone as our guide we took day trips into Florence and surrounding cities we were able to see so many beautiful places icluding one of my favorites, the Boboli gardens.

Ah Firenze, ti voglio bene. Although I have been there before, there's noting like this city! On my last visit I stayed in a hostel...this time, however, we were in a villa in the Tuscan hills- need I say more.

A day trip stop in the small town of Luca on our way to Florence... a must see!

Quaint and charming at every turn

Ahh, I wish I could go back to...

Between the towns of the Cinqueterra the lovers walk where lovers leave their names and locks... the views wer amazing and Trace and I left our mark.

Next Stop

Our next stop was Cinqueterra...it lived up to all my expectations!!!! Breathtaking at every turn

Hands down the best place we ate on the trip was a little restaraunt called la Pirata- to die for!

Here's a start

I'm a terrible blogger. That said, I've decided to make a change and really try to figure this thing out. Here's a start looking way back to September and our trip to Europe.

So this was our first stop- we flew into Nice and drove to our hotel in Cap d'Ail just on the border of Monaco. We drove into Monaco several times and ran into Naomi Cambell on one of our shopping trips... they closed the store for her, strangely we didn't get the same treatment. Even though Monaco was amazing, our little town gave it a run for its money- great little pizzaria, the beaches were amazing (and topless of course), and the scenery to die for!!!

FLORENCE 2009

A couple of this years treasure hunt, the and a meltdown from Chazzy. Always my favorite time of year!!

New Obsession

2009-08-05T20:18:00.000-07:00

So I discovered a new website that has become my new obsession, Garance Dore, and it is AMAZING. Its a French womans equivalent to the Sartorialist...I think I should be able to be a French woman in some future life, right?

Summertime ... and the livin is easy

2009-08-04T16:31:00.000-07:00

Here's a couple from our travels to Utah...Trace's stepsister Liz got married- can you tell those two little boys are trouble!!!

More shtuff...

2009-05-30T22:31:00.000-07:00

I need a step by step guide of how to do things with this blogger stuff...I'm sure it's all very simple, I'm just not smart or patient enough to figure it out. At least I can put up a couple pics!

This was where Nick works in Portland called Ping- it's kind of like Asian street vendor tapas-like food...sooo good. They served things like quail egg wrapped in bacon with some spicy sauce on it- I know, sounds crazy but YUM YUM!!!

Here's a few from our whirlwind roadtrip to Utah. Trace and I had been wanting to get out there for a long time but could never get it together with work and everything so we broke down and drove at the last minute. It was great to see friends and family. And I got to meet this little man for the first time- Joshua Lewis...aka the fattest baby EVER!! He's such a ham!

Then of course there's these lovely ladies...Leenie was married in Cali (I'm very sad I forgot my camera for that, but she was beautiful and everything was wonderful) AND Karyn just had her little man on 5.28.09 Julian Bruno Blosil!

A Bit of Ketchup

2009-05-30T22:08:00.000-07:00

So I guess I've been busy for the past couple of months...not really, but that's a good excuse for not posting. Here's a few from our holiday weekend in Portland with Trace's friend Nick and some of the Chazz man at the pool... he's a Merrell for sure- he loved the water and is going to be such a fish! More to come!

Sisters, Sisters

Girls weekend was so much fun... why can't we do that every weekend? I'm so glad to have such wonderful women in my family- I love you girls(the boys aren't bad either).

Continued Catch-up

2009-01-30T20:25:00.000-08:00

A couple from Thanksgiving-better late than never!!(No idea what Dad is doing but you gotta love him!) And could Chazzy be any cuter?!

Out on the Lake

2009-01-05T17:07:00.000-08:00

We love taking little adventure days-this one was out on Lake Washington, canooing underneath the freeway and the 520 bridge.

2009-01-04T19:42:00.001-08:00

I've been meaning to set up a blog for a while now, but I'm not really sure if I've got anything to post... but here we go. I'm pretty sure Karen will be the only person viewing this blog, but now at least you'll be well informed!!! Happy blogging!
