Never dull moment

Hey, it's not expensive if you don't go lower than 70 areas of Manhattan. If you're not from the New York area this doesn't concern you. But the good folk's that make new laws/rules passed a congestion bill. This bill now charges people who are driving a vehicle in Manhattan an additional fee somewhere between nine dollars and upwards.

I don't care, because you can always take the train.

This blog post isn't about that.

Magnolia Bakery is my favorite place for some banana pudding. It is not every day I get to indulge in a sweet treat.

My wife and I figured we would pick a few before attending a lunch date we reserved at eleven

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side at the time. But it wasn't the worst, as it snowed and the wind blew. We took a stroll as if it were a sunny day with no regrets of snow hitting our faces. It being a gloomy day our mood was laid back. We walked and reminisced about our past visit to Manhattan also known as the “ The City “

We wore matching shoes. A Christmas gift for both of us =)

Memories of Italy: A Dreamy Escape

While I lay in bed, I dream of my last month's vacation in Italy. I can still hear the ocean, and smell the coffee brewing.*

Italy has a way of staying with you long after you leave. It’s in the sound of waves gently lapping against the shore, the aroma of espresso wafting through the air, and the vivid snapshots that linger in your mind.

When it came time to fly back home, I felt sad. I felt like we should just stay here forever.*

Every corner of Italy felt like a new discovery—from the cobbled streets to the lively piazzas, every moment was filled with something to savor. Even with my two small children, the trip was somehow relaxing. Sure, there were the usual chaotic moments that come with traveling with kids, but there was also this sense of calm that enveloped me. Ththethe beauty of Italy worked its magic, and I found peace.

It took me some weeks to look over the photos, and I still haven’t edited them all.*

Every time I go through them, I’m taken back to those carefree days. I can see my kids laughing, the sun setting over the horizon, and the way the light hit the buildings in a way that only Italy can make magical.

*I haven’t posted or uploaded anything in two weeks, and I feel like it’s time.*

So, here I am, ready to share some of my favorite moments from the trip. Sometimes, life gets in the way, but these memories—well, they’re worth slowing down for.

EXPLORING DISTANCE

As the countdown hits, here are a few snapshots from along the way. I didn’t journal much, either with my camera or pen to paper, but I still managed to capture a few memorable moments.
