1st Anniversary Weekend

For our 1st Anniversary weekend, Jason and I went to Vienna. Jason had never been and we decided that it was a great place to go that isn't too far from home. He took Friday off so we spent Friday walking around the city.

On Saturday, we went to the Vienna Zoo and Schonbrunn gardens. Jason and I always love to go to different zoos. The Vienna Zoo was interesting because it is the oldest zoo in the world. They obvously have made renovations but it was just fun to read about the history of it and to see all the animals. Right outside of the zoo is Schonbrunn Palace which is just gorgeous. Don't believe me? Google it. That's my answer to everything. ;)

On Sunday, we decided to leave Vienna after breakfast and on our way home we stopped at Mondsee, which is a gorgeous lake area outside of Salzburg. We rented a little electric boat and putzed around the lake. Jack wasn't too happy about this and was glad to get back onto solid ground. We had lunch at a nice cafe on the water and then walked around the city. The church in Mondee is the church that is in The Sound of Music, so we of course stopped to see that as well. Then, we ended our afternoon with gelato (well I did anyway, Jason couldn't eat it because of his milk allergy). It was such a picture perfect day.

Monday was our actual anniversary and Jason had to work. When he got off work, we walked to dinner at a lovely restaurant in Salzburg called the Blaue Gans (Blue Goose). It was so nice. And the walk home was just gorgeous! I love that in Europe you walk everywhere and the scenery is amazing. So romantic!!

The weekend was picture perfect and we had a lovely Anniversary. Thank you everyone for all of the well wishes. We couldn't be happier!! One year down, the rest of our lives to go. xx

1st Anniversary

Happy 1st Anniversary to my love, Jason!!

I can not believe it has already been one year of wedded bliss!! As I look back as to what this year has brought us, I am so thankful to have spent every special moment with you. I am so grateful that I have such a loving, caring, supporting, and goofy husband. You have kept me on my toes and what a great adventure it has been! I am looking forward to many more adventures with you over the next 50+ years. I love you with my whole heart!! XOXO

Here is a clip of OUR WEDDING VIDEO :)

Asian Vacation 2012 pt.2

While we were in Thailand, we also spent a couple days scuba diving, as you may have read here. It was such a blast! When we weren't sailing or diving, we spent time at our pool over looking the beach. Just gorgeous!!

In the early evenings, Jason wanted to take pictures. He always takes such amazing sunset pictures. One such evening, we were out for a walk, walking towards Big Buddha, and Jason came across a lovely pier. I decided to sit on a swing and read while Jason was taking pictures. After about 45 minutes, I heard Jason call for me and said that he needed my help, which I thought was odd. As he approached he told me not to freak out but that he had stepped on a broken bottle and glass was in his foot. When I looked down, his whole foot was gushing blood and he was leaving a trail of blood behind him. I immediately took his tripod and camera and helped him get off the rocks onto more stable ground. I then walked ahead to try to find some bottled water to clean out the wound. It was a very deep cut. Had we been in the US, he probably would have gotten stitches. We decided to head back to the hotel to clean him up and to use their first aid kit. It's always an adventure with Jason!!

Another evening, we went back to Fisherman's Village for dinner and to take pictures. This was such a great evening because the weather was perfect and it was a very relaxing night. Jason got some great pictures. So lucky to have such a talented photographer as my husband!!

We took a taxi over to Chaweng to experience the restaurants and nightlife on two different evenings. The first night we were in Chaweng, we stumbled upon The Red Snapper which had live music and dancing. Jason even volunteered me to go on stage to play the tamborine with the band (I was so embarrassed!). We danced to Spanish music and had such a great time. After the band left and the restaurant died down, we decided to head over to the Green Mango to check it out. It is a club and was full of college students and young kids (man I'm getting old!!) so we decided to leave after one drink. Then, we went on a little adventure to find the Ice Bar since it was so hot that night. We figured it would be a great way to cool off-- and that it was!! It was such a fun evening with my husband. I love that we are goofy and have a lot of fun together!!



After we 5 days in Thailand, we went to Singapore so Jason could finish up some work. We had a great time in Singapore too. It was my first trip back since we lived there so it was nice to catch up with some friends.

Our trip was nothing short of amazing and I can't wait to go back. Asia holds a piece of my heart! :)
