Doggie Treats

This is my darling niece Chloe caught spoiling their family dog, Baily with some potato chips. Kudos to Dani Jo for being quick with the camera and capturing this priceless moment!

Bit by the Travel Bug

Chad and I use TripAdvisor to find great lodging at reasonable prices when we travel. This is how we found Maria and Guiseppe's charming B&B in Sorrento, Italy and the Villa Ilias with the most amazing views in Santorini. We love reading the recent traveler reviews and peeking at their posted pictures of their stay. When we return, we post our own reviews of the places where we stayed.

Well, I was very pleased to find that TripAdvisor just added this great new (and highly addictive) feature which is a map of the world that helps you track all of the places where you have been. I had fun filling it out and dreaming about where to go next!

Sigh, so much of the world to see, so little time!

Google Bike to Work Day!

Today was Bike to Work Day at Google, and we couldn't have asked for a better spring morning to ride! Aside from needing to take some Claritin, my 40 minute ride from home to the office along the lake front path was very enjoyable. When all of the riders arrived at the Google office we took this group photo. After seeing the photo I decided 2 things- 1) I love events like today which remind me of Google's great spirit of community and 2) I will never wear horizontal stripes with skinny jeans and flat shoes again.

I hope that this morning is the start of many more bike-to-work days for me over the summer.

Greece Greatest Hits

I hope that you enjoy this photo montage from our recent trip to Greece. This was my first time using iMovie to merge together my photos with music and text and transitions, and I am pretty excited about how the final cut turned out.

Shout Out to Yves Larock

...Above the Rainbow, So High!

This is a very fun song that Chad and I discovered in Mykonos, Greece. It is helping me get through the post-vacation blahs by playing it on repeat at work.

I will post more about our amazing trip to Greece, as well as a "greatest hits" photo album of the sights in a few days.
