Kinderdijk


 
 
 
Kinderdijk is gorgeous. There are 19 windmills and almost all
of them are still lived in and being used. It's definitely windy there..
obviously why they built windmills there. It is a definite stop when
you are in Amsterdam.

London. kate stuff










 
 

 
 
 



We spent some time retracing the steps of the beloved princess kate. How could you not want to do such a thing, kate is great.
Buckingham palace was the first stop to see the changing of the guard, I just like the idea of going where kate has been.
Westminster Abbey, where the royal wedding took place, an important stop for any lovers of the royal wedding. It's cool.

London. house of parliament.


 
 
 
 
I think the House of Parliament is my favorite building in London.
I don't know why either.
The oldest part of this building was built in the 1000's.
It's beautiful at night, but it's a must see in day light to appreciate its architecture.

Madrid: Mercado de San Miguel


Day 2 started out with a trusty metro ride to the Mercado de San Miguel. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. In fact I wanted to eat everything that was there and almost did.


Fresh Fruit. Can we talk about the Strawberries, Raspberries, and the oh so young Asparagus. To. Die. For.


Jamon. Thinly sliced cured pig, often put on a baguette. I know it sounds crazy but I loved it.





In my hand I hold only the the tastiest yogurt I've ever had. Mango topping with a Blackberries at the bottom it was delicious. Also my dad is hold a bowl of Paella, anyone else had? It's crazy good and I was left with a craving for it.


Most people would look at he Hamburger and say you are an idiot for getting a hamburger in Span, but to them I say shame on you. That hamburger was the best darn hamburger I've ever had in my life so tender it basically melted in my mouth. Father is hold the cured pig I was talking about, like I said SOO much better than I had expected.

Mercado de San Miguel, awesome place to grab quality food, huge variety and it's all so good. Definitely a place to stop by in Spain. Not to mention the glass building was quite nice to look at.

atlanta


Hotlanta was really good to us two weeks ago. Every morning after breakfast we sat ourselves down on the balcony and soaked up 80 degree weather. amazingness.



J.Biebslanta also supplied me with my hot BF when I suddenly ran into him at the mall, he shouldn't have surprised me like that. but I didn't stop him from taking a pic with me.



Shoptlanta provided some nautical shoes for spring and summer. To look cute you gotta dress cute, to dress cute you gotta shop cute. In addition to the shoes I got a striped shirt continue the nautical esque theme as well as some camel colored capris.



Bluelanta accompanied every one of our nights spent in Atlanta. The pumpkin pecan was perfect to top off everyday we had spent shopping.



Chiclanta, because we eat closer to where it's from, founded, and started. This families motto is always eat mor chikin. Chic-fil-A, do I dare admit was our dinner for 2 out of the five days we spent in Atlanta. If you are judging us right now it is most definitely because you are jealous.

Atlanta was fun and awesome. Loved going and can't wait to go back real soon.

Travel Plans....


I'm going to Madrid Spain. Words can't describe how excited I am. I've dreamed of going here ever since I was a little girl playing soccer, mesmerized by the Real Madrid soccer team. And now I can't believe I am actually going, in fact it doesn't seem real yet. Also me and mother may have spent a few hours at Barnes and noble last nigh reading up on Madrid, Rick Steve's travel book on Spain was quite helpful I highly recommend it.

Also in my travel plans


Atlanta, Georgia.
We are making a quick stop here before we head to Madrid and I'm quite excited for a few things. Those being the shopping, Blue Bell ice cream, and the ever so delicious Chic-Fil-A. On that note just so you are all aware, you haven't lived until you've had blue bell ice cream and also our family has a sick obsession with Chic-Fil-A.
