Our Own Story This Summer


IMG_3375


For the last two weeks we have been adventuring around Italy on a big
family trip with Chris' parents and sister.

Yesterday we did one of those crazy up-for-24-hours+ flight series home to Oregon (Milan/London/Chicago/Portland). We are all exhausted and filled with tons of memories.


I'll post more once we have a chance to get settled back here at home.

    Would love to travel Italy in a cute summer dress. That alone merits a scrapbook page!

    This month will mark the two-year anniversary of our trip to Italy. In addition to my husband and teen daughters, we traveled with my parents and brother. It was definitely the trip of a lifetime ~ so many wonderful memories of Rome, Venice, Florence, Capri and of course, gelato! Looking forward to hearing about your trip.

    Molto bene! I also knew you had to be somewhere on vacation with your lovely family! Now, we await YOUR choice of how you are going to scrap those memories. The guest posts have given me tons of ideas, and not just for vacation/travel albums.
    We know you will be into words and photos; just exactly how you do your story will be what we want to see.
    Welcome home!

    I cannot wait to hear all about your adventures. Italy is one of my favorite countries...we have spent several months in Italy and have found beauty around every corner, not to mention gelato :-)
    So glad that you are home.

    Wow...they still have that little ride in the back. I have been there 2006. Italy is so beautiful. Everyone should go there at least once. A trip of a lifetime! Hope you had some time to go to some museums!
    I used Lisa Bearnson KOTM to document mine. If you are interested:

    This trip was not in the summer, so I didn't sent it in to you.
