Our little secret garden in Florence, Italy

 

OH MY GOSH. I AM OBSESSED WITH OUR FLORENCE AIRBNB. Can you blame me after these pics??

When I was searching Airbnb while planning our trip, I came across this one and FELL IN LOVE. It was $75 a night, walking distance of everything, the perfect size and super light and airy. Its also a whole apartment to yourself (kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom). But the best part, it has a completely private backyard garden!!! Its a little slice of heaven in the big city!!!! I only wish we had stayed longer.

My favorite day in Florence was when we shopped at the market and bought homemade raviolis, bread, and fresh veggies. Then we travelled back to our dreamy flat and made dinner, ate in the garden and finished the night off with a sunset hike up above the city. A perfect day!

Also, I hope you enjoy this picture of my husband and Isaac being ridiculous and making fun of our friend pics.

Stadium of Fire with Tim McGraw

I have been wanting to see Tim McGraw in concert for years! My family went through a spirt where were pretty obsessed with him for a year when I was in high school. 

It was so much fun to see Tim and the stadium of fire fireworks with my whole fam and grandparents!

Our trip was dominated by food. Lets be honest my mantra was gelato: all day everyday. 

Everything was just too good, and it was hard to try everything that we wanted to. 

We tried lots of different cuisines in london, and cooked two nights at our flat. 

In germany we got the strongest taste of authentic meals due to staying with a family living there. We ate delicious homemade german food every night, and ate lots of Kebab at lunch. 

Florence and Chinque terre were overflowing with Pasta, Pizza and gelato.  The only thing I got sick of was italian food (I know, you feel so bad for me). After a full week of just pizza and pasta though, I was so ready for the cuisine of spain. And it did not disappoint! My chicken Pealla was delightful. Everything we tried in Spain was mouthwatering! 

I can't wait to recreate these dishes at home. It won't be the same, but I'm sure it will still be  delicious!
