October 2008
Sorry I'm behind in blogging, but we have been super busy! Derick's dad, Dale and his wife, Pam came to see us in October this year. We had a SUPER fun time showing them around the area where we live. We also went to Barcelona, Spain, Dublin,Ireland, and Rome, Italy. They were three amazing trips.
Barcelona was fun; we had a bit of trouble finding a hotel, but that was because we couldn't read a map for a little while. Haha... But we found one, and then found the shopping. The second day we were there Derick and I found the beach. YES, I was on a beach in October! And ~ it was like 70 degrees or so. I absolutely LOVED IT!
Ireland was my favorite because we rented a car and drove to the west coast. There, we stayed in a cute little town called Galway, and the shops and food was great. It was definitely cold! You can tell in our pictures the wind was blowing because my hair looks rediculous. haha...The second day in Ireland we drove to the cliffs. I will never forget what a remarkable sight it is! It was beautiful, we got there at dusk, just as the sun was setting.
Rome was also a very fun trip; however unless there were the sights to see there it wouldn't have been so fun. The city of Rome really looks like a big ghetto, but the colluseum perks it right up! The Colluseum was our favortie sight, but we saw all of them! We saw St. Peter's, where the pope lives in Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel, The Roman Forum, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier... So much stuff to see!
We had such a great trip with Dale and Pam, we are so grateful that they got to come over and share some fun experiences with us.
