06/08/17 Whirlwind of a day, started off with cupcakes and coffee (yes I know, I did not stutter. CUPCAKES) before catching a tour bus. The goal of today? Cram everything we haven’t seen yet into one day, ready, set, go! The first stop was Montserrat, … Continue reading Selfie-Mania & Architecture

Feeling Gothic

June 7, 2017June 7, 2017 · 1 Comment ·

I have to admit the weather was not what I was thinking. I thought since we were on the med it would be wicked hot like Paris 90F, not the case at all, it’s been 68F. My predictions have been totally off, I am officially … Continue reading Feeling Gothic

Beach day!!! Jumped out of bed today and for once it was me rushing Jeff and not the other way around. Dragged him down to breakfast in his swim suit, drank an entire pitcher of coffee and off we went. We walked by the Arch … Continue reading Speedos and Pina-coladas

Yes today is my birthday, the 5th, not the 6th as some of my family seem to think (yes I am calling you out). I woke up to a continental breakfast that blew my mind (yes the included version) there were fresh pressed juices, coffee, … Continue reading Happy birthday to me!

Trains and whimsy

June 5, 2017June 5, 2017 · 1 Comment ·

Half of our day was spent on a train. That in and of itself is stressful, add to that fact that the Spanish train lines and the French train lines are a different width and you have the recipe for a full blown Sarah meltdown. … Continue reading Trains and whimsy

Pirates in Bordeaux

06/03/17 We are on the train to Barcelona so I thought I would recount yesterday for you guys. It was a pretty rainy, soggy morning. Jeff was bummed but I am just telling myself that France is sad to see us leave. We tried to … Continue reading Pirates in Bordeaux

06/02/17 Bye Chateau Carbonneau! Bye countryside! Bye S60! We said goodbye to our new friends and started the trek back from wine country.

June 3, 2017June 3, 2017 · 1 Comment ·

06/01/17 In a shocking turn-of-events Jeff did not plan something starting at 8:00 AM (although he desperately wanted to)- We woke up and leisurely had breakfast with David and Alex (a lovely German couple staying at Chateau Carbonneau). He was scheming, no way he lets … Continue reading Location, location, location…medieval

Au revoir Paris

June 1, 2017June 4, 2017 · 2 Comments ·

05/29/17 So Jeff and I just left Paris. I swear Jeff almost cried. Yes that is how much Jeff loves Paris, as much as the Broncos but maybe slightly less than King Soopers( yeah it worries me too). We have already started scheming for our … Continue reading Au revoir Paris

Wandering and Wine Tours

May 25, 2017June 4, 2017 · 3 Comments ·

05/25/17 Today we learned that wine has “legs”. You ever watch people who know about wine swirl the wine around in their glasses? It looks like a secret practice to those of us on the outside but actually serves two purposes. The first of which … Continue reading Wandering and Wine Tours
