September 2024

Monday, September 30, 2024

September came and went and when looking through my pictures, I realized I didn't take very many at all - whoops!

Settembre e' passato velocemente e quando stavo guardando le mie foto, mi sono accorta che non ne ho fatte molte. 

It's birthday month for both me and Andy! My parents came down after my birthday and we went shopping - it was the best!

E' il mese dei compleanni per sia me che Andy! I miei genitori sono venuti giu' dopo il mio compleanno e siamo andati a fare shopping - era perfetto!


My dad obviously had a ton of fun 😆

For Andy's birthday, we went to Fort Oak in Mission Hills. It was so tasty and we love trying new places.
Per il compleanno di Andy, siamo andati a Fort Oak. Era un posto che era su la nostra lista per un po' di tempo ed era molto buono.


It was Fall Break and I went up to Vancouver, Washington to visit Cady for a few days. It was beautiful weather and we had a great time catching up and just hanging out. 
Io ero in vacanza e sono andata a trovare la mia amica Cady a Vancouver, Washington per un paio di giorni. C'era un tempo perfetto e ci siamo divertite a fare tante chiacchiere. 
 

July 2024 - Prague

Friday, July 5, 2024

After Vienna, we jumped on the train and headed to Prague. We stayed at the Dancing House Hotel and had one of the suites. It was cool, but weird to have so many people taking pictures of your hotel. 

Dopo Vienna, siamo andati a Praga. Siamo stati in un albergo che e' famoso per come' fatto. Era strano essendo in un posto dove tutti vengono per fare le foto. 


Prague's weather, albeit cloudy, was a welcome reprieve from the heat we had experienced in Venice and Vienna. We spent our days wandering around with no real agenda. It was lovely. We did make it up to the castle and toured that one morning. 
Il tempo a Praga era molto piu' fresco che non Vienna o Venezia. Abbiamo passato le giornate camminando ovunque. Una mattina, siamo andati al castello. 


We also went to the Petrin Observation tower which had beautiful 360 degree views of the city. Later that afternoon, we did a Beer Spa. It was such a fun and unique experience and I truly do recommend it if you are in Prague!
Siamo anche andati a la Petrin Observation tower che aveva una vista di tutta la citta'. Nel pomeriggio, siamo andati a la Beer Spa. Era un'esperienza unica e siamo stati molto contenti di esserci andati. 


June 2024 - Parma

Wednesday, June 26, 2024

The end of the school year was a blur. I made the decision to go to a new school for next year to seek out a new position as a Special Education teacher. I'll be working with students who have academic challenges on specific goals. While working, I'll be taking classes to get my special education credential. This meant that the end of the school year, I was packing up my old classroom and space and had to move it to a new school. Before I knew it, it was time to begin my European summer vacation! 

L'ultime settimana di scuola erano pesanti. Ho cambiato scuola e lavoro. Sono sempre ne lo stesso ditretto, pero' in una scuola diversa. Adesso lavorero' con bambini che hanno bisogno di piu' aiuto. Nel frattempo, prendo un'altra licenza per insegnare bambini con special needs. Allora a la fine de la scuola, ho impacchettato tutto e spostato tutto ne la scuola nuova. E poi, era tempo per partire per le mie vacanze Europea! 


First stop was Parma for a week before Andy arrived. I spent time with the family eating amazing pizza and gelato and going to the pool.

Prima tappa era Parma per una settimana prima che arrivasse Andy. Ho passato tempo con la familia mangiando pizza e gelato e andando in piscina. 


When Andy arrived, we went to tour a Lambrusco vineyard that has SUCH delicious wines! We also headed to Monterosso, but it was pouring rain, so we didn't manage to stay very long. 
Quando e' arrivato Andy, siamo andati a vistare Rinaldini, che e' una cantina dove fanno Lambrusco. Siamo anche andati a Monterosso, pero' diluviava, allora non ci siamo fermati tanto.

November 2023 - Thanksgiving

Sunday, November 26, 2023

 For Thanksgiving, we flew to South Carolina to spend Thanksgiving with Andy's mom. The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a great time!

Per Thanksgiving, siamo andati a South Carolina per passare Thanksgiving con la mamma di Andy. Il tempo era perfetto e ci siamo divertiti molto!


We started with a little golf to wake ourselves up after taking a red-eye flight across country.

Abbiamo cominciato con un po' di golf per svegliarci perche' abbiamo viaggiato tutta notte.

Thanksgiving 2021

Sunday, November 28, 2021

How appropriate that my 500th (!!) post is about Thanksgiving! Andy and I spent Thanksgiving in South Carolina with Andy's mom. It was the perfect change of scenery and very cold! 

Questo e' il mio post numero 500! Per Thanksgiving, io e Andy siamo andati a South Carolina per passarlo con la mamma di Andy. Era proprio quello che ci serviva, anche se c'era molto freddo!


We arrived late at night, but decided that was perfect because the next morning we woke up to their beautiful view. We then walked around their neighborhood and did the 12 Bridges Walk. 
Siamo arrivati di notte ed era perfetto perche' quando ci siamo svegliati abbiamo visto tutte le foglie che stavano cambiando colori. Abbiamo fatto una passeggiata vicino a casa loro. 



Pictures with all the waterfalls!



Sunset

The next day we went to Jones Gap State Park and did the Rainbow Falls Trail. It was stunning. The colors were so pretty (even if we were on the tail end of things) and the waterfall at the end made it worth it. 
Il giorno dopo, siamo andati a fare una camminata a Rainbow Falls Trail. I colori erano troppo belli e la cascata a la fine era meritevole. 









Rainbow!




For Thanksgiving, we had dinner at the Club that his parents belong to and walked around the golf course after.
Per Thanksgiving, abbiamo mangiato al Club che c'e' vicino a casa dei genitori di Andy e poi abbiamo fatto due passi sul campo di golf. 


On our last day, we did a boat tour of Lake Jocassee. It was quite chilly, but with blankets and gloves, we stayed warm! There were some gorgeous waterfalls all around the lake. 
L'ultimo giorno, abbiamo fatto un giro in barca di Lake Jocassee. C'era molto freddo, pero' con le coperte e guanti, siamo stati caldi. C'erano molte cascate tutte attorno.













That evening, we headed to downtown Greenville to see the town. It was darling! 
Quella sera, siamo andati in centro a Greenville per vedere la citta' piu' vicina. Era molto carina.
