Europe 2008

Lane and I went on a fabulous Mediterranean Cruise
in May of this year. We were lucky to go with my
parents and my Aunt & Uncle from Oregon. We were
part of an LDS tour group. We flew to Barcelona and
stayed one night there before boarding our ship. Our
ports-of-call included Cannes, Florence, and Rome.
We enjoyed every minute of Europe since neither of
us have ever been there. After we debarked the
ship, Lane and I took a night train up to Paris, France.
We spent 4 fun-filled days there. I took over 800 pictures
of our adventures in Europe. Lane thinks I might have
over done it, but I never know when we will go back. I
have posted my favorite memories of this wonderful vacation!

Barcelona, Spain. Our hotel is on the far right.

Christopher Columbus

I could never stay in a Hostel after seeing the movie!

Barcelona has amazing architecture.
This particular building is by
Antonio Gaudi.

Thanks Lane!

Our hotel bathroom had a bidet. Yes, I used it
and accidentally scalded my under-carriage!

We LOVE the mandatory
life boat drill!

On our way to Cannes, France

This book really came in handy when
we needed help communicating in France.

We were in Cannes one week before
the Cannes Film Festival.


Lane likes boats?

Our newest favorite thing to do:
