How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

It’s Been A Year

in Travel on 05/23/12

I can’t believe it has been a year.  One year since I went on the vacation of a lifetime.  One year since I had the most romantic Birthday lunch any girl could ever ask for on the top of the Eiffel Tower.  Le Sigh.

ParisByNightP1000076

Yes, today I turn 41.  Gulp.  Instead of dwelling on that, I will remember all that was Paris.  

Walking hand in hand down century old streets until our feet hurt.

Hot chocolate for breakfast and gourmet dinners.

Laughing until our faces ached, talking until we found that quiet comfortable place, and then practicing our French as only two in love can. Re-discovering life as a couple. Being quiet, being inspired, being awed. It was falling in love all over again.

Paris was more then I could have ever dreamed of.

I’m so grateful for these memories so indulge me as I play my super sappy You Tube video one more time!

Happy Birthday to me! I can’t wait to see what this year holds. 

Mwah!

      I am pretty certain I left a message on your FB page…if not…HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you continue to celebrate.

      I love Paris (lived there for a whole year…many years ago).

      Oh Stephanie: I am so sorry I missed your birthday. Happy belated birthday. I feel like I have missed visiting your blog for awhile. Glad I popped by in time to still say happy birthday.

      Happy birthday! Next time you come back (when it’s not the super romantic week for two) we’ll meet up for un chocolat.

And then there’s @loviamykonos. 🤍

Looking for a hotel in Mykonos? This one has stunning views, the warmest staff, dreamy boutique-style surrounding and an unmatched location.

There were so many moments sitting on our terrace, looking out over the Aegean, we’d look at each other and say, “Can you believe we’re here! That this is real!” 💕
Lovia, you were pure magic. ✨
We left a little piece of our hearts there. 🇬🇷🤍

    Throw back and a little travel inspo….

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy. 
How did we manage to spend almost 2 weeks at this dreamy location without maxing out our credit card? @homeexchangecom 

I promise - once you try #HomeExchange you will never look at travel the same way again! Follow the link in my bio for all the deets. ❤️

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.

If you want to travel more often and live like a local, you need to check out @homeexchangecom.
