Roaming gnome

In true roaming gnome fashion, I have made even more travel plans. Next month I will head out to Palm Springs with my best friend Emily and her family for almost a week. It is going to be awesome. We will be staying in this great house in the hills. Its going to be great not to have to bundle up before going outside, although I will admit the weather in Seattle hasn't been that bad lately, but still...the sun is always a great thing to look forward to. I will make sure I take plenty of sunscreen since I don't tan per say, more of a burn when I'm in the direct sunlight.
Say goodbye to winter Mr. Gnome and get ready to travel!

Italy - here we come!

This weekend we booked our 3 week vacation to Italy. I don't think it has really sunk in yet. I'm so freakin' excited I can't even believe it. We will be leaving 7/27 and coming home 8/15.
Here is the tour we are doing for the first half of the trip.



We will be finishing up the rest of the trip in Prisciotta, Italy. My Mother in law, Lettie, grew up there and has family there so it is going to be such an awesome experience to see her hometown. Can't wait!
