It has been a really long time since I’ve “blogged”, things have been really really busy for us! I was thinking about it the other day, and I think we’ve only been home 3 or 4 days in the month of November! Crazy!!! It all started with a trip to Pittsburgh on Halloween to visit Erik’s parents. We had a great time while we were there! We spent Halloween eating homemade doughnuts and giving out treats to the neighbors, then later that weekend, we went to a dinosaur exhibit at the carnagie museum and went to the national aviary. I loved seeing all the birds at the avairy, although it is a bit hazerdous…Erik got pooped on twice
I have several cute pictures from our trip that I will post soon!
Shortly after we returned from Pittsburgh we decided to embark on a last minute trip to Switzerland to visit Erik’s brother. Lucky for us, he has a lot of frequent flier miles that we were able to use to buy our plane tickets! Of course, we couldn’t leave Rhys at home, so we had to get him a last minute passport…this meant a trip to Chicago to the passport office! So, off on another adventure we went! We had a lot of fun in Chicago as well, Erik has two friends from high school who live there, so it was great to visit with them while we enjoyed the sights in the windy city!
So, to make the rest of a long story short, we just returned from 8 days in Switzerland on Sunday. It was a wonderful trip and we were able to see a lot of the country while we were there. We spent most of our time in Zurich, and a few days in Lausanne as well. Switzerland is an amazingly beautiful place with an equally amazing culture. While we were there Rhys got to see his first snowfall and meet his first Swedish babe (she was literally a Swedish babe)
Here are some pictures from our trip to Switzerland! And as soon as I get my other pics downloaded I will post some from Halloween and Pittsburgh!
Looks like a great trip! I love Switzerland! It is one of the places in Europe I wish I could have spent more time exploring! You have had quite the adventures this year!! Miss ya!
Just so you know, I left that last comment! I have no idea why my name came up like that!
Your trip looks amazing! I love Switzerland! It is the one place I wish I had spent more time exploring! You have had quite the adventures this year with new baby and traveling to Europe!!
Miss ya! (I sent this twice, hopefully it will post this time!)
