Ok, I still haven’t finished the Europe posts, but I’m working on it. We had a big moment today…we picked our first zucchini! We don’t know if it was really time to pick them, but they were so big, we couldn’t help it. We’ve picked some lettuce a few times, but this just seemed like… Continue reading Zucchini!

¡Barca Barca Barca!
Regarding our accommodations, we are happy to say that Barcelona was the only place we paid to stay – 3 nights of the whole trip! I’ll tell a little more about where we stayed below. In Barcelona, we hit the major Gaudà sites, like Parc Guëll, Casa Milá, and La Sagrada FamÃlia. Gaudà had quite… Continue reading ¡Barca Barca Barca!
Oops!
It looks like I messed up the captions on the Madrid album on our site. They should show up now. Barcelona post is coming hopefully after lunch today…
Why do I have to have a title? This is about Madrid.
I should start by explaining Couchsurfing, as it comes up twice on our trip. Our friends Joshua and Tiffany introduced us to the concept, and now we’re semi-pro. Really. Anyway, couchsurfing is a hospitality network where you can ask to stay with people while you’re traveling, and people can ask to stay with you while… Continue reading Why do I have to have a title?

Back in the swing…
We’re back, and in some ways it feels like we never left. I guess that’s how things are when you face the daily monotony of office jobs (which we are thankful for of course). Anyway, we had a great time! Excluding my terrible trials with allergies, the trip went really well. We’re still going through… Continue reading Back in the swing…

Joel’s sister-in-law’s parents have lived in Paris for the last few years, and they think this is their last year. We had talked back and forth about trying to get over there before they left, but… Continue reading Traveling and Travel Crafting
Food and Traveling – our two favorites!
Things have been very crazy around our house lately. We are going on a big trip Saturday, so we’ve been trying to plan as much as we can. (more on that later) As if we had lots of extra time, we decided to make a real garden this year. We would love to increase the… Continue reading Food and Traveling – our two favorites!
Heavy
We went to see Sin Nombre last night. Due to content, this is not a movie we would generally go see, but we decided that we should since the subject matter is so pertinent to today’s world. The main character is a member of the La Mara gang in Mexico. Through a series of hard-to-watch… Continue reading Heavy
Deals, deals
I will admit: I am a couponer. I haven’t always been, but I’ve been using them for maybe the last year or so. I had a particular victory last night that I thought I should share. Publix has Kashi frozen entrees for 50% off, which is $1.75. I had 3 coupons for $2.00 off, so… Continue reading Deals, deals
Google Reader
Do you read a number of blogs? Do you have them in your favorites, or just go to them from history? Last year, Joel showed me this wonderful solution to blog reading: Google Reader. All you need is a google account (gmail or otherwise), and you are set. Google Reader allows you to paste the… Continue reading Google Reader
