THE NEWLYWEDS GO TO EUROPE 2008!


HELLO EVERYONE!

WELCOME TO THIS "SPECIAL EDITION" OF OUR BLOG: THE NEWLYWEDS GO TO EUROPE 2008!


First, let me start by saying this. If you think I don’t know, I knowwwwww. I know our blog shines ever so brightly that big ol' you-cannot-miss-it-even-if-you-had-a-blindfold-on DORK light upon Yours Truly!! But now comes out the dorky “Martha Stewart” in me. TRAVEL TIP: Send yourself postcards from each vacation you go on– it’s a nice diary of your traveling experiences that await your return home in your mailbox. Great idea, isn’t it ☺

So this whole European Trip started out because our friends, Lindsay & Leon and Justin’s cousin, Kelly all invited us to visit with them in England when they were at our wedding in Vermont last year. WARNING TO ALL: if you invite justin and jen to visit with you just out of sheer politeness or simply as a way to spice up the current conversation with us, watch out, because the next thing you know you’re listening to your doorbell ring & watching this couple (us) park it right at your door step with two big fat smiles on their faces & two big fat pieces of luggage in their hands saying “We’rrrrrrrrre Heeeeeeeeere!!!!!!!!" Actually, I did really well, our luggage didn’t get over packed until the end of the trip - after the shopping I did throughout our travels. And actually, I did really well in that area too I think, didn’t go too crazy as I am known to do at times ☺ .

We were gone for three weeks and our feet sure covered ALOT of ground!! And be it WISHFUL THINKING that all of that walking we were doing on this vacaton (an average 4 miles a day) completely CANCELLED OUT that twice a day indulgence of Hazelnut Gelato I had in Italy over the 8 nights we were there – uh, NOT. But then again one can only hope, right ☺

WITH ALL OF THAT SAID – PLEASE ENJOY THE FOLLOWING BLOG POSTINGS & PHOTO GALLERY LINKS COVERING OUR TRIP TO EUROPE!

OMG I just spent over an hour reading and laughing, I don't even think I viewed to many of your pictures(another time)you do have a way with words and a great story teller. You should really think about writing a book, not just editing mine. I cant wait tell you next trip.
Love Ya Snookie
