So....we went to Europe....3 months ago

The first week of September Bryan and I had the opportunity to go to Europe for 10 days. We spent the majority of the time in northern Italy visiting Cinque Terre, Milan, Lake Como, Bellagio, and Stresa. We flew in and out of Zurich Switzerland, so we had the opportunity to drive through the Swiss Alps on our way to Italy and our way back. It was by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We also went to Bregenz, Austria and Freidrichshafen, Germany where Bryan had to work for a few days at a huge bike trade show called Eurobike. While in Austria we got to stay in an old castle (paid for by his work!). The whole trip was amazing and I didn't want to forget to properly document it! I could give you all of the details of the trip, but that would most likely be incredibly boring...so here are some pictures!

A little bit of bragging.....

Isn't my husband pretty cool? I think so. He definitely has some awesome bike skills!

5 Years Today

I can't believe it is 5 years already...I guess time flies when you're having fun! 

Lauren's Birthday

For Lauren's 21st birthday on Friday Lauren, Kari and I drove to San Clemente and met Todd and Jeanette for dinner. It was quite an eventful night just finding a restaurant, I will spare you the details. We had a great time together! 

SD County Fair

On Thursday night Bryan, Kari and I went to the SD County Fair. This was Kari's first time ever going to a fair so we had to show her a good time! We ate some really disgusting fried food (fried Kool-Aid and fried Oreos) which only Bryan enjoyed, we watched the hynotist show, walked around to all the different booths full of junk that people are selling, and watched a little bit of the free Elliot Yamin concert. It was a fun time! But, the most exciting part of the whole night was playing the fair games. We don't usually play the games because they are a rediculous waste of money, but all of the games were a dollar each. We went to a booth that had bottles lined up on shelves and for a dollar you could throw two baseballs to try to break the bottles. Bryan threw both balls and broke two bottles and they gave him one more ball and he broke another bottle and won a giant bulldog stuffed animal. Just what we needed! I have no idea what we are going to do with a giant stuffed animal, but it was pretty exciting! Our tickets allow for unlimited entry into the fair, so I am sure we will be back. Next time maybe Lauren can come with us since she had the flu when we went.

Fun at CVS

Bryan and I went to CVS with Russ and Marie on Friday night and Bryan found a electric weelchair just sitting in the corner of the store. Of course he couldn't resist riding it around the store. He insisted that I take pictures and a video of him. I am pretty sure we would have been kicked out of the store if they would have seen how he was riding that thing. He took one corner so hard he tipped over. I think he wishes he was 75.

Carribean Vacation 2011

A few weeks ago Bryan and I went on a cruise in the Western Carribean with our friends Brian and Heidi. We had four stops on the cruise: The Grand Caymans, Roatan Honduras, Cozumel Mexico, and the Princess Keys in the Bahamas. We had SO MUCH FUN. Here are a few pictures!

P.S. You will have to turn your head for some of these because I can't for the life of me get my pictures to rotate!
