Friday Favorites

April 1, 2011 by Kristy 19 Comments

Hooray for a rest day!  And hooray for another one tomorrow.  I’m going to an easy yoga class at lunchtime (the mm hmm lady – she’s growing on me).  We are headed to DC tomorrow and staying until Monday…with Mr. Hawk in tow.  We found a pet-friendly hotel.  Hawk is very excited. Race day weather still looks awesome.  I can’t wait!

It’s your favorite day of the week…time for Friday Favorites…the travel edition!

Matt and I caught the travel bug during our honeymoon.  We went on a Mediterranean cruise and saw a bunch of cities in Europe.  We didn’t care much for the cruise itself, but we loved getting a little sample of Europe and now we have a list of places we would love to go back to.  The following year, we went to Australia.  It was unbelievable.  We spent time in Sydney, Port Douglas (Great Barrier Reef area), and Melbourne.  Next up…

IRELAND!

For real!  Matt and I just booked our flights this week!  We always wanted to go there and found amazingly cheap flights too good to pass up.  So we’ll be Ireland-bound in May 🙂

If you’ve been to Ireland, please let me know your “must sees”.  I would love to hear your suggestions!

I included pictures of our favorite places in Europe and Australia.  It was hard to narrow it down since we pretty much enjoyed everything.

EUROPE

Before boarding the cruise ship, we stayed overnight in Barcelona. Our hotel was right on the beach.
Drinks in the El Born district - Barcelona. Notice Matt's drink compared to mine 🙂
Amalfi Coast of Italy - absolutely breathtaking!
Santorini, Greece. I could go on and on about this place...

Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik - spot the orange yoga mat? Heaven!

AUSTRALIA

Sydney - when I first saw the Opera House, I was speechless.
