Rome part 1

So about 2 months ago we ventured to Europe and it was beyond amazing! I finally have gathered all the photos from everyone that went and have sorted through to find my top 20 pictures (HARDEST JOB EVER!) I'll be showing you guys some of my favorite places that we visited split between two posts. I hope you enjoy!


Here we have the Colosseum! It was the most amazing experience being able to wander in this beauty and learn all about it's impressive history. We never knew about the shops & markets or the farms and housing that used to be established here. I know it's a bit cliche but it's definitely a must see.


A view from inside the Colosseum- simply majestic!


I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the Spanish Steps. Everyone was laid back and just hanging around without anywhere to go. However it was a little bit more crowded than the last time I visited here. 


Here's a photo from the Piazza at the Spanish Steps. Loved all the architectural beauty this shot had to offer.


After visiting the steps, we headed up the hill towards Villa Borghese gardens. The view was absolutely breathtaking. (you can see St. Peter's Basilica in the distance) We had such a nice time at this park and it was honestly the best weather the whole trip. 


We sat and enjoyed a few prosecco's at a little cafe in the park and Apollo got to ride on a carousel. All in all it was a lovely day.


Naturally everyone must see the Trevi Fountain! No words can describe the feeling that overcomes one upon setting your eyes on this beauty. 


It's even more amazing at night.


This was a fun Piazza over by our Airbnb and had such a chill nightlife. We returned here one night for some low key drinks before venturing out to some great bars.



That's all for now! Check back in a few days for part deux & recommendations for off the beaten path places to visit. Thanks for stopping by.

Bruges








Our recent trip to Bruges was perfect in every way. I've been to Bruges before and I keep falling in love with every new trip I make. It is such a quaint and relatively quiet town with lots of local and chain stores, and tons of great restaurants and chocolate shops . My favorite aspect to Bruges is that houses seamlessly blend into one another all while having different facades. Every time you turn a corner you're crossing another bridge over the cutest water canal you've ever seen. I love life in Brussels but I love how life slows down in Bruges! It is a definite place to visit while traveling through Europe.

Thanks for stopping by!
