Our Own Story This Summer
Tags: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.

So much fun! We loved Venice :) - hope you ventured there too. If you're not able to find any gelato nearby, pop up to Corvallis - there's a great one downtown! Welcome home!

I just got back from there on Monday. Looks like we both were in Firenze! What a great city. Loved the market and Boboli Gardens. But the flight back to the states is NO FUN! Rest up. Can't wait to hear more about your trip

BEAUTIFUL family photo! You look so trim and happy! Looking forward to seeing how you tell this story.
Along the lines of your summer series, I've really enjoyed Paperclippings' posts on scrapbooking a vacation (they can be so overwhelming). If you haven't seen that series, it's at:

I could tell just from the first photo that you were in Europe! After living in Germany for the past 2 years and traveling a bit I have learned that Europe has a distinct feel too it. I am glad you were able to slip away for a bit and spend time with your family.
