Eastern Mediterranean Cruise: Embarkation From Venice

     I can't believe that after months of planning and looking forward to our family vacation, it's already come and gone! We had a blast on our 7 night cruise through the Mediterranean and I can't wait to share our experiences. I took tons of pictures, so I will do a post for each day like I do for all our vacation trips. 

     On our first day {6/21- Father's Day}, our friend dropped us off at the port in Venice at about 11am. Our check in time wasn't until 1, but we wanted to be there extra early since we had no idea where to go or what to expect. We dropped our luggage off first, and then went to check in. They gave us a priority boarding ticket since we had a small child with us {Thank you Connor!}. We showed our paperwork and passports, took our id pictures, and then went through security. We were done with everything and walking on the ship about 25 minutes after starting the check in process. It was fairly simple and we were so lucky to not have to wait in any long lines.

Our ship! Since we were so close to the ship, I couldn't get a picture of the entire boat.

Father's Day

Thank you for being a perfect father to our son, Aaron.

Happy Happy Father's Day to all you amazing dads out there, especially to my wonderful father, father-in-law, grandpas {my grandpa in Texas, my Welo in heaven, and Aaron's grandpa in Minnesota}, and of course my amazing husband! All of you are so special and I am so happy to have you all in mine and Connor's life. We love ya'll tremendously and hope you enjoy your special day. Many hugs and kisses are being sent your way! 

Cocktail Party {and Other Stuff}

      I have been MIA lately, but we have been busy. Aaron finally went back to work after recovering for a month after his surgery. It was so nice having him home with me all the time {he might say otherwise ;)}. The day after he went back to work, the brigade held a cocktail party/dinner out. It was so fun to get dressed out and have a nice evening out with my husband.

 My hot date!

One Year In Our House

    Thanks to the Timehop app that I have on my phone, I was notified that today marked 1 year of us living in our Italian house. I realized that I never shared pictures from the rest of our house, so today I am going to show current photos from of our house. It's so different living here, so I want to make sure I remember every bit of it!

Doggy Day At The River

     We had a fun day at the river yesterday with our friends and all of our pups. Some of the dogs liked the water more than others...

 All the dogs.
