Hi from Kentucky! What! I know. I feel like we've hardly been home this summer - it's crazy. (By the time school starts again, we'll have spent more than a month of the summer NOT at home. Haha. Bjorn and I are here at Fort Knox for some more of his army training. It's always nice when I get to come along. Of course, my days are a lot more low-key than his are, but I'm definitely going to be keeping myself busy! I'm writing this from the Starbucks at Fort Knox. If you follow me on … [Read more...]
London Recap: Buckingham Palace + Changing the Guard Ceremony
On our third day in London, we wanted to see the Changing the Guard Ceremony at Buckingham Palace!

London Recap: The British Museum

(It helps me keep track of the days as I remember the trip, too!) July 7th, our first full day in Europe, was our British Museum (and explore London monuments) day! This museum is so, so impressive! It is absolutely huge, and an architectural wonder in itself, with something like 90 rooms to go … [Read more...]
Our 2-Week Europe Itinerary
Happy Tuesday, friends! I am SO excited to finally begin sharing our Europe trip with you! Like I said in this post, we're back from our recent 2-week adventure in Europe. I went with my husband, a friend of ours from college, and my sister-in-law! Let me just start by saying this: one of my favorite things about travel (and other big events) is the actual planning! :) I spent much of June finalizing details for our 2 week trip. Much had to be finalized: passports, plane tickets, … [Read more...]
