Cute art and book stores are our favorite finds when traveling! We’re not big shoppers at all, but we love discovering local gems, like this lovely art store in Barcelona. I especially am an advocate of traveling light, so we usually don’t have much room in our luggages to buy anything, but there’s certainly no harm in looking! 😍
The summer growth spurt is real. Bridgette is now taller than my sister!! The Côte d’Azur was probably the most memorable part of our recent trip, partly because it was incredibly beautiful but mainly because our rental car broke down and we had to figure out how to deal with it in French. I didn’t thank my four years of French classes in high school; I thanked Google Translate instead. 😂
At what point in life do we lose our carefree spirit? Some say that with maturity and responsibilities in life, we are no longer allowed to live in a carefree way. I would argue those are not mutually exclusive though. Having a carefree spirit doesn’t mean we make reckless or irresponsible choices. It could simply mean we choose to live life in a lighthearted, grateful, and positive way. I hope that Alan and I can always encourage Bridgette not to lose her kindred, carefree spirit!
Time is a funny thing. After coming home from our trip, it feels like we were gone for a really long time, but it also feels like we never left at all. It feels weird to think that one week ago, Bridge was resting on these steps in Barcelona, so many miles away. It’s a reminder on how time slips away in such a way that we are not aware of, until we actually stop our daily rush to be mindful of how our time is being used.
4 weeks, 8 flights, 1 cruise, 4 countries and 9 destinations later, Bridge and I are finally HOME! It has been quite an adventure...probably our wildest one yet, which makes us SO grateful to be home safe and sound with minimal damage. 😂 Most of all, we are ecstatic to reunite with Alan as we have missed him sooooooo much during our travels. With just one night of rest, Bridge wasted no time in catching up with her besties right away. Thank you to our friend Lawrence for this family pic! 😍 #lovemylittlefamily
We may not have this view outside our own windows everyday, but we can still choose to wake up, look outside (or around) and be filled with gratitude with what are blessed with. It’s amazing how a simple shift of lens can impact our day. 🌸
