Babyshower in a Box

If you've followed along to my recent adventures to London and Paris, you may remember how the primary purpose of the visit was to see my friend Brynn & her husband as they are expecting their first baby in July.  Of course, throwing a baby-shower from a continent away is a bit tricky, so my… Continue reading Babyshower in a Box

I find that the more ridiculous the face you can make, the better the photo. Speaking of… Continue reading Of Royal Weddings And Phonebooths That Smell

Away to London!

When it rains it pours around here!  It seems now I am the one sick with pneumonia for memorial day weekend.  I put together a good number of posts early this week to get things rolling again, but things may get spotty again before we get to Paris.  Ugh.

Eurotrip 2013 Checklist
