WHERE TO TRAVEL?

The Husband and I love to travel and are lucky enough to have been to a lot of fun places.

Above is the view from our hotel in Barbados. It’s pretty but this was our least favorite vacation. I had always wanted to go to Barbados but to make a long story short we didn’t have much fun.

This sometimes happens to us. We go somewhere expecting to love it and then hate it or we aren’t thrilled to go somewhere and then fall in love with it.

This also happened to us with Croatia oh and I am not naked in this picture I am just wearing a strapless swimsuit. Anyway, we went to Croatia on a cruise and were the least excited for this port. In the end we ended up loving it and our day there was the highlight of our trip.

I want to start planning a vacation for our family. What are some of the places that you have surprisingly loved?

RAWTHER FANCY ELOISE TEA AT THE PLAZA

Now it’s time for the grand finale. The actual Rawther Fancy Eloise Tea at the Plaza. Everything was perfect for kids and very fancy. They had these cute miniature tables set up in the tea room!The room had these adorable plates on display but they were smart and served everything on plastic ware because we know the kids would have broken these fab plates and cups!Princess A refused to sit still in the tiny chairs so they got her a high chair. Of course, she messed up the nice place setting with her feet.When they started to serve the food Princess A got very excited! To drink we had the option of water, pink lemonade, or tea. Princess A and I had pink lemonade.Here’s Princess A giving the stink eye because she wants her treats NOW!Seriously! Why is this taking so long!

It actually didn’t take that long Princess A just has no patience. The pink lemonade came in these cute plastic cups that we got to take home!The food came on a glam three-tiered dish. Princess A refused to smile for the picture because she wanted her cupcake NOW!She ate the fruit so fast I couldn’t get a good picture!Cookie, it has been nice knowing you but I will have to eat you now.Princess A enjoyed her cookie but then she was ready for MORE!She enjoyed the rainbow cake.But the miniature cannoli was her favorite.Yum Yum!She had the pink cupcake last. The cupcake was my favorite.After she had devoured everything Princess A was pretty messy. Luckily, they had wipes to clean the kids off with!Next it was story time. They read an Eloise book of course. Princess A didn’t pay much attention to the story because she was too busy cruising on the round pink couches. I loved the story though.

At the end all the kids got gift bags with an etiquette book, gift card, pencil, pad of paper, and some other goodies. I will take pictures of that soon!

The tea costs $50 a person and was well worth it considering everything we got out of it. They also have etiquette classes and other events at the Eloise store. I will have to wait 4 years though because you have to be 5 to take the manners class which is totally understandable. Princess A would probably make the manners teacher want to pull her hair out because she would just be running and babbling all over the place.

For more info on the tea, the Eloise store, or other Eloise events please click HERE. If you are a fan of Eloise or have a little girl I highly suggest the Eloise Tea!

I have been waiting to post about these in hopes that Princess A’s feet would fit into them. They still don’t but I think that’s a good thing because they should fit her in time for next Fall and Winter!SuperGlamFan Anne-Kathrin bought these glam sneakers for Princess A. She is from Germany and also sent us some pictures of her beautiful hometown. Thank you so much Ann-Kathrin and I can’t wait for Princess A to fit into them so I can post pictures!!!!

HONEYMOON IN VENICE

I can’t believe The Husband and I have almost been married for 3 years!!!!!! One of our stops on our honeymoon was Venice. It was very romantic. We mostly just walked around the city but we also had some amazing ice cream and took a gondola ride! My favorite part though was when we were walking back to our cruise ship we walked by a wedding. We cheered for the bride and groom. It was so fun to see an Italian wedding! When we got back to the ship we had an elephant towel waiting for us on our bed. I Love towel animals!!!!!!!!!

She actually prefers it over beef, turkey, and chicken. If she could speak she would upon receiving this said, “Mom, I want to go to Alabama and get some shrimp!”

LEANING TOWER OF PISA’S STYLE

I loved seeing the leaning tower of Pisa. I think it is cooler because it is leaning…. all the other towers out there are straight. So if you are insecure because you look a bit different than everyone else or you dress uniquely remember the Leaning Tower of Pisa wouldn’t be THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA unless it was leaning… without it’s special style it would just be a tower in Pisa.

So follow the tower’s example and just be you!

FLORENCE THROUGH THE EYES OF THE HUSBAND

When we go on vacations The Husband Aaron takes tons of pictures… especially of me. He really photographs me better than anyone else because he usually doesn’t tell me he is taking a picture. Enjoy our pictures from our trip to Florence!
