2011: Year in Review

During 2011 my trusted HP laptop pooped out and in fear that I would lose all photo memories, I decided to create a photo album of our memorable adventures during this year.  In so doing, I've realized just how crazy this year has been.  Starting with a 2 month work trip to DC in January and February, this was the year of travel!

It was also the year of wine... We went to Napa with our friends Mike and Kathryn in April and up to Temecula about 20 times with friends from San Diego.

Then our great pack up and the Goodbye America tour.  We criss-crossed our way through state after state, taking ridiculous roadside pictures along the way and visiting friends and relatives.  I'm so glad that we got to see so many of our wonderful friends and family before we left on this crazy journey.  It's going to be a long time before we see everyone again and having those brief little visits was such a treat!

And before we knew it, we were shoving cats under the seats of a plane and bringing two months worth of clothes and cherished possessions with us to Italy!  Here the real traveling began.  As a girl whose dreamt of traveling around Europe, we've really hit the ground running.  From four trips to Rome to the three day Amalfi Xtravaganza with my wonderful friend, Kristine and then up to Le Cinque Terre, Pisa, and Venice, it's been such a wirlwind tour!  Beyond Italy's borders, we've been (sometimes together, other times on our own) to Berlin, Ireland, Paris and Isreal. 

Our 2012 trips hopefully will include:

1. Marrakech
2. Lisbon/Porto
3. Tuscany
4. Prague
5. Ireland (Cork and the South)
and hopefully many more!

To my wonderful hubby, Tom, I couldn't do this without you.  You are such a wonderful support network, balance to the crazy and partner in ridiculous.  Looking forward to a 2012 full of love, laughter and many more exciting memories!
