Italia!

All of our schedules (Brent's, Josh's, mom's and mine) finally worked for us to go to Italia together! We got to go for two weeks and had a blast! Pictures are pretty sparce (and grainy), but we are just glad to have some after all of our camera troubles!

We began in Milano. This is the Galleria.

This is the church that has Da Vinci's fresco, The Last Supper. Wow! One day we went to Lago di Como from Milano. It was GORGEOUS! Brent and I will definitely be back!
We stopped in Bellagio for lunch, gelato, and some shopping! It was such a cute little town.
We also stopped in Varenna. We weren't there long, basically just long enough for the boys to get more gelato!


From Milano, we went to Venezia.
After Venezia, we went to Firenze, Roma, and Napoli. We went to the town I lived in, Castiglion Fiorentino, and to Fiesole (both outside of Firenze). While in Roma, we went to Pompeii. From Napoli, we went to Positano and Capri. It was a very busy trip, but I was so happy to be back in my home away from home...with my favorite people!
For those interested, there are more pictures posted on my facebook.

Lake Caddo

Brent and I went on another road trip with Josh. He had to work in Shreveport. So we went there with him and then went to Lake Caddo on the way back to Dallas. Lake Caddo was AWESOME...a great place for taking pictures! I can't believe I had never been there before! If any of you ever decide to go, we can refer you to a great guide for a boat tour!

Thanks, Josh, for letting us keep you company!

Galveston & Houston


Brent and I went on a road trip with Josh the day we got out of school. We stopped in Huntsville for lunch at an old timey cafe. Then we went down to Galveston and hung out on the beach for a little bit before going back up to Houston to stay. We had a wonderful dinner at Smith and Wollensky. On Friday we went to the Houston Fine Arts Museum where we met my college roommate, Jenn, to see the Pompeii exhibit (preview for July). We had a blast! Ahhh, SUMMER!
