Friends, I am bursting with excitement--we're going to Europe in May!!! I mentioned this in
a passing gratitude the other day, but I wanted to fill you in on the whole, lovely story.
As you know, I turned the big 3-0 this year, and was
wracking my brains on
how to celebrate. Well, on the day of my birthday, I had to drive four and a half hours back from a conference (meh). Once I got home, however, I was ready to settle in for an evening of birthday bliss.
My mom had dropped off dinner and goodies...
...and Jake cleaned and heated up dinner while I sipped champagne (and frantically finished a last-minute project for work!)
...
let's go! (and of course, I said "yes")
We will be leaving in May, after my semester ends and Jake's thesis and the undergraduate class he's teaching wrap up. We're planning to visit Madrid, Granada, Tarifa, Tangier, Seville, Barcelona, Provence and--of course--Paris. I'm over the moon! Any suggestions for us??
