some places we've visited so far

  • bergen and oslo, norway
    Think Colorado. Flooded. Oslo is a refreshing little city and the fjords offered beautiful views in all directions. Not love, love. But definitely like, like. See my blog entry.
  • prague, czech republic
    Yes, it has beautiful architecture. But no soul. Skip it and go to Budapest instead.
  • berlin, germany
    We only spent a night here, but I could tell immediately that this was a city I could live in. Hope we can get back there sometime soon. Loved the new architecture, friendly people and the gigantic, wooded park.
  • tavira, portugal
    A great place to relax, see endless fields of daisies, drink sangria and be surrounded by the smell of orange blossoms. See my blog entry.
  • amsterdam and delft
    Amsterdam was one of our favorite European cities and Delft is a little gem you wish you could fit in your pocket and take home. Loved the individual style and easy-going nature of the people. See my blog entry.
  • budapest
    Hurry, it's already been discovered. Wonderful cheap food and an outdoorsy mentality. See my blog entry.
  • dalarna, sweden
    Reminds us of home. Really relaxing and laid back. See my blog entry.
  • hong kong and tai pei
    Super friendly people and so romantic. See my blog entry.
  • nice
    Loved Villefranche and the whole area east of Nice. See my blog entry.
  • barcelona
    Loved the tapas and eating paella on the beach. See my blog entry.

no place like home

Ahhh... I forgot how nice it is to enjoy a bagel breakfast sandwich from Einstein's while sitting out on the patio. Almost everyone who walked by had something sweet to say to Sophie. We always forget how friendly everyone is here in the States. It's wonderful.

We arrived in Colorado on Father's Day, and our friends Cory and Vicky knew just how to help Lewis celebrate. We devoured some awesome food from our favorite Indian joint and laughed harder than we have in at least a year. 

We have not heard Sophie cry in weeks. She's smiling and laughing most of the time, and seems to love the adventure.

Sweden feels very far away right now.

Your daughter is a cutie too! Take care!
