Oh the places we have been ...

before we had ellie and cash we were lucky enough to get to go to some amazing places ...

the leaning tower of pisa .. in italy ... it is not as big as you think it would be .. you can so tell that we our tourists becasue we are wearing tennis shoes

that is monte carlo in the background .. we went to the casino and played a little roulette .. jeff had to buy a tie from the ships clothing store to be allowed in .. ties and jackets are required for men .. dresses for ladies .. they hold your passport when you go in and give it back to you when you leave .. the casino was beautiful .. the whole city of monte carlo is beautiful .. we saw were princess grace was buried .. lots of hills ..

got to love those fire drills on the boat .. we were on a cruise that left from barcelona, spain and was headed to rome, italy .. before we left the dock we had to practice these drills .. we look confused don't we .. like maybe we missed the part of the directions that went over what life boat we were supposed to ..

i love this pic of us .. we were going to a disco party here at the lake .. i put this pic in ellie's baby book .. she is going to think that we were crazy .. jeff still has this leisure suit .. !!

that is the golden gate bridge behind us .. jeff surprised me and took me to san francisco for our 13th anniversary .. we rented a tandem bike and rode across the bridge .. it was quite the adventure .. lets just say that we had a hard time pedaling together .. we did make it all the way across the bridge and back .. jeff did most of the pedaling though ..
if there is one thing that jeff loves to do .. it is go places .. all different kinds of places .. we have started a list of all the places that we have taken the kids .. cash has just a few places on his list .. ellie has been to some really fun places .. considering that she is only 7 .. i want to take her to paris in the worse way .. my friend kim goes in the fall for work .. i want to tag along with her one year with ellie .. ellie would love paris .. i just know it !!

Jenny, love the stories. If you are not using nature's seasoning you should be. Can't cook without it. Love the beauty items story. Have you heard of Premier. It is products from the Dead Sea. Sounds depressing but the stuff is fantastic. Just got a package in the mail today with big fat tubes of the best hand cream I have ever tried. Love the cooking stories. Wish more young women would cook. How long has it been since you had strawberry pie? Love the picture of Alison.
