Europe Trip…

Hey guys! So it has been a crazy past few months around here! I hope that you are all doing great and getting ready for this Holiday Season!! I am super excited to share a few pictures from our trip to Italy and Germany! My brother lives in Germany and we were able to visit and spend some time with him and his lovely girlfriend for a few days and we had a great time!

First stop on the trip was Venice and it was absolutely stunning! I still can not believe that we were actually able to visit this beautiful city! It has always been a dream to visit Italy and it definitely did not disappoint!

I am so glad that we were able to spend time with our family and get to explore such a beautiful city! My brother and his girlfriend planned the entire trip and it was amazing from the hotel to the food!

After Venice we took a flight back to Germany and got to visit with more family and explore other parts of Germany that we hadn’t gotten to last time! We got to check out Nuremberg and check out the beautiful castle and get some shopping in! SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES I can’t wait to go through the rest of my pictures and share some of the amazing scenery and food that we got to experience!

Travel OOTD’s…

So we just got back from our 9 day adventure to Germany and I wanted to round up a few of my favorite travel outfits before I get into the best of the sights we saw!

When I packed for this trip (check it out here) I tried to have versatile pieces that would easily mix and match and adapt to the different climate. I think I packed just enough and really loved the items I brought because they looked somewhat put together but were very functional and comfortable at the same time!

The Best travel shirt ever!

Items Worn and Obsessed with!

Castle Hill…

For the rest of the trip we hung out around our hotel and just relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery that Vermont had to offer! We stayed at the Castle Hill Resort and it had the most beautiful gardens and pool area that you could just stroll through or hangout and relax. How adorable is this little bench tucked away under a huge plant!
The town itself was very small and not too much to do, but we happened to stumble upon a really beautiful golf course where we ate lunch at both days. I would highly recommend this restaurant everything we ate was delicious, and we got to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the view!
Now if only we knew how to golf it would have been perfection 😉

Hiking Around…

When we planned this trip we literally had no idea what was around the area or any other places to go besides the hotel that we were staying in. The hotel looked really beautiful and they said that there were tons of things to do in the town so we figured why not just go with the flow!

When we made it to the town in Vermont we were staying in we were shocked at how there was literally nothing really around and how small the town was! At first I thought well this should be an interesting couple of days, but we found a touristy map and just drove around and stumbled upon some really beautiful hidden gems. The very first place we landed on was Buttermilk Falls at Okemo Mountain, the town itself is mainly known for Okemo Mountain and is a ski town and I am sure it gets pretty crowded in the winter months. There really weren’t too many people so it was really nice and relaxing which was exactly what we were looking for! Okemo Falls was hidden off a side road and had some really beautiful falls and huge rocks. We got some really great pictures and hung out for a little before we were able to check into the hotel.

The next day we really wanted to hike and then just relax for the rest of the afternoon so we did some googling and found Camp Plymouth State Park. We drove over in the morning and were all set to hike the 6 mile round trip to the peak, but turns out we were not prepared at all for hiking directly up the river the entire time! The river was really beautiful and full of people literally digging for gold haha but we ended up going about 4 miles and then kayaked around the lake for a little.
It was nice to not really have a set plan and just go with the flow and explore the beautiful scenery of Vermont.

Peachy Keene…

Next up on our trip was to stop and see my sister Cait who is currently living in New Hampshire and working on her Masters. We have been really wanting to get up and see her apartment and where she lives so we were really excited to see the town and take her out to dinner and see what New Hampshire is all about!

We walked around the town which was much larger and so much busier than I ever imagined it to be and checked out some of the local spots!

She took us to her fave Mexican restaurant and of course stopped and picked up some truffles for a yummy treat after dinner.

After dinner we got to see her new apartment which is super cute (pictured above) I just loved how she was right in the middle of the town and her building has a lot of character and architectural details that you just don’t find in new construction! I am obsessed with all the ivy growing up the buildings I think that it looks so awesome!

The next morning we ate at a local diner that had the best food and the most adorable outdoor seating area with a beautiful little garden, and it’s literally steps away from her apartment.

So excited that we got to visit and hopefully we will get to come up during the winter and explore some more!!

Welcome to Vermont…

I am so excited to finally get to post some pictures from our trip to Vermont!! originally we were supposed to take our trip to Costa Rica to celebrate our 5 year anniversary, but we have to postpone it to fit Eric’s leave. We are so excited and are counting down the days until we can go! Still wanting to have a few days to hang out just the two of us we decided to take a last-minute trip to Vermont. Why Vermont you may ask, well we found a place that looked really pretty on Groupon lol and it happened to be about an hour away from where my sister Caitlin lives in New Hampshire. We were really excited to get to visit her and check out her new apartment and explore Vermont all in 4 days!
My mom told us that we had to stop at the Vermont Welcome Center and I am so happy we did! It was the most beautiful welcome center I have ever been to! They had beautiful gardens and really pretty areas to walk around stretch your legs and check out some exhibits that show what the state is well-known for.
Next stop on the tour was the Vermont Country Store one of the coolest little stores I have ever been in! They literally had everything from homemade fudge to vintage cleaning products and the best cheese I have tasted in a while! We just randomly stumbled upon this little gem and I highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area. It’s a great place to stop and walk around, grab a coffee, and do a little shopping. They also have a whole outdoor area set up with games and tables to let your kiddos get some exercise after a long drive!

The next little town we stopped in was Bellows Falls, we saw a huge sign for it and decided to take a detour and check out the falls… Well we didn’t find any falls but we did get some cool pictures of the little town walked around for a bit. Day one was really great even though we had an 8 hour drive!! Our first real stop was to check out Cait’s new place and spend the night with her in Keene, New Hampshire more on that tomorrow!
