Previews

Okay, let's just be honest. I have hardly even had a chance to look through all the pictures from our trip.  We've been pretty much going non-stop since we've been back so even having a chance to download the cards was a victory for me! I quickly pulled out a few photos off the card from the point and shoot camera that we took with us so I thought I'd at least share these! :)

Enjoy the little preview...you know there's a lot more where these came from! 

These first two Aric was takin a break and taking in the beauty of 

Château de Chenonceau.  We were here eating lunch with the wedding after visiting a winery just before.  We got to walk through all the rooms of the chateau and all over the beautiful grounds.  It was definitely the kind of place you would imagine in a fairytale or children's story book.  Pretty incredible!

And...Here we are at the wedding!!! I'm sure I'll regret that we didn't take more pictures - but sometimes it seems like just such a hassel! Aric was the best groomsman...he worked so hard to make sure the groom had everything he needed.  He's always so selfless and giving in that way.  But I was so glad to get to enjoy the reception with him!  It was another fairytale kind of day.

There's the whole reception!! And we got to stay 3 nights in that chateau! Can you believe that?!

AAAHHH... Paris.  The most romantic city in the world! ;)

This time I was determined to have our photo taken in front of the eiffel tower no matter what.  So thankfully we had someone snap a few here one night as we were walking around the city. Love it.

GUYS! I got drawn by this incredible artist in Montmarte! Aric & I both just loved the way he sketched in a not so literal way and as difficult as it was to sit in that chair and stare at the same spot on the ground for about an hour straight - I think it was totally worth it! ;)

Leaving Montemarte with my drawing!

Montemarte is officially one of my new favorite spots in Paris! Just magical!

Our next stop was Lake Lucerne, Switzerland.  I've never seen water so pretty or greens so green.  We were only here 1 short day so as soon as we arrived after checking into our hotel we hopped onto a boat tour of the lake... It was the perfect way to see the lake and surrounding mountains...

Unfortunately the next day (when we were planning to take a tram up to the top of the mountain to see the view of the lake from there) it was super foggy and drizzly so we ended up just walking around the old town square for the day...

Oh, you know...just walking through Venice after catching the sunrise...

Although you can't tell...that's Florence behind us. We got there just in time to watch the sunset here with a view of the entire city and then walked through the streets, had dinner, gelato and visited a museum that was open late...

I guess I stopped pulling photos there... We still have some from our first stop in Spain, Rome, the Amalfi Coast, and Greece!  But this is a start at least! :)
