Favorite Time of The Year!

I feel like fall started a bit late here in the south but nonetheless it's finally here!

There is nothing like kickstarting fall with a little trip to a corn maze or pumpkin patch & the one we go to every year never fails.

The endless corn maze, hay ride & comfort food always are the best here. 

Now that fall is here I am starting to get excited for all the fun holidays, family gatherings, fall/winter decorating, & all the adventures!
& best of all is soon we will know the gender of our little blessing! It's amazing how life is, I really can't imagine life without my little one growing in me now. You know there was a time before I was pregnant & I would wonder from time to time how it would be when I was or how it would feel... & so far it's beyond anything I ever thought. I see our baby's heartbeat, our baby's little body & our baby's little face & the feeling that overcomes me is just so amazing & unexplainable! I felt an instant connection! I am so excited for the future & to finally hold this little one on my arms, but for now I am going to enjoy the most I can of my pregnancy. So sorry I got carried away lol, I just get so excited talking about our little one, but i'll save the rest for our gender revel post.

 All I can say is these coming months are going to be some of the best ones yet & some I will cherish forever!

God is so good!

Until our next adventure!

Europe 2016 | Paris

| Part 2 of Our Europe Trip |

Paris!
We got to Paris in the afternoon so we just had time to eat then get to bed early because the next morning we were off on a excursion to Versailles. It was about an hour ride, I think lol (i was asleep half the time). It was stunning & just so big. We would need more days to cover the whole thing.
The rest of time spent in Paris we visited of course the eiffel tower, the louvre, the cute town of Montmartre, went to many museums, had breakfast at Laduree, ate a lot of crepes lol, & wondered more streets then I can remember. It was a romantic city for sure but depending where you get your hotel you might be walking a lot like we did. But we didn't mind because the buildings are just so beautiful everywhere you turn. I did head to sleep early one day, I think it was 6pm & being pregnant had finally caught up lol. Other then that I think I did pretty well. Now the language was pretty tricky here, we knew the basics but sometimes on the outskirts of town we had to sign with our hands what we wanted lol. It wasn't to bad. Paris was beautiful but maybe one trip there was enough because we seen everything we wanted to see there. Unlike Barcelona we didn't get to explore the outskirts which I wish we had.
Here are some of our tips for Paris:
1. Try avoiding restaurants in the tourist area, they are crazy expensive.
2. Walking is the best transportation there. You find so many cute corners & shops by doing so.
3. Try speaking french first, the people there appreciate the attempt.
4. Some museums are free on certain days, research!

Europe 2016 | Barcelona

One of the most amazing experiences by far!

We started planning & booking this trip since January & we are so grateful to have the opportunity to do so. Ask me 4 or 5 years ago if I ever thought of visiting Europe & I would only say it would be a dream. It's still so crazy to think we were actually there. I am so thankful for my husband because without him I don't think I would have ever gone. Not only did he plan the flights, hotels & transports but he really pushed me out of my comfort zone to travel somewhere where we didn't know the language. He is amazing!

Now onto the trip!

We flew from New York to Paris & from Paris to Barcelona first. The flights didn't seem to bad since it was in our sleeping schedule. So we slept basically all of it. When we finally arrived we checked into our hotel & headed to a rooftop lounge to have a few tapas & just admire the amazing view of Barcelona! The rest of the two days there we visited Camp Nou, La Boqueria Mercat, the beach, Park Guell (which was another stunning view), ate an amazing Paella, & got lost in the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter. This was one place we will definitely visit again, I mean the food, people & views here were absolutely amazing. Barcelona treated us so well!

Tips that helped us:

1. Ride the metro, it's so simple & saves you a lot of walking!

2. Plan ahead on things you want to do so there is wasted time.

3. Don't be afraid to try new things, we went to a tapas bar with friends & they selected everything & it was all amazing!

4. Try to wake up early to get adjusted to the time zone. Helped us out a lot!

For sure we will be back to Barcelona & this time with our little one which my husband is ecstatic about because he want to take he or she to a game. Maybe a year or two after baby is born though. There are some islands near there that I would love to visit to. So excited to go back as a little family.
