Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM

Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Monogram...

There are a few things I wanted to buy before moving back to the USA, and this Louis Vuitton bag is one of them. I had told my husband Zak that I wanted to get something from Louis Vuitton before we go back home, and I had mentioned this bag. So on Halloween this year (which is Zak's Birthday) my husband came home with a surprise for me. I was so shocked and happy and thought it was so sweet that he thought about doing this on his own birthday. He said he had been saving up for it and could do it so he wanted to get it for me. I thought I would put up some pictures and do a type of UnBoxing for you.

Even the Box is beautiful

Ludwigsburg Christmas Market

Zak & I were feeling like we needed a good date night, and wanted to get in the Christmas spirit. He was finally back home after being away for 7 weeks so we were due a night on the town. We ventured out to Ludwigsburg, which is a city in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. They have a christmas market there that we just had to see. 

BEAUTIFUL

Love seeing our last name everywhere in Germany :)

So many cute decorations everywhere

Festive Gluhwein.. Couldn't pass up this cup

It wouldn't be a Christmas Market without Santa :)

We really had a great time seeing all the beautiful sites & shopping around at all the wonderful little shops. If your in the area I wouldn't pass up this Market, and make sure to come when its dark so you can see all the great christmas lights. After the market we found a great Italian Restaurant and Zak had a Parma Calzone & I had Spaghetti Carbonara. It was all great and a decent price, so If I can find a receipt I will add the name later.  We also went to the Esslingen Christmas Market when Zak was back for a couple days during Thanksgiving, So that will be my next post.

Frühlingsfest

GREAT to see the Koch name representing ;)

Another first for me happened this last weekend. We went to Frühlingsfest (Spring Fest) in Stuttgart. I had no Idea what to expect. I thought it would mainly be beer tents and food, but I was mistaken. I have never been to anything quite like it. Men, Women and Kids all dressed up in there Lederhosen or Dirndls. It is the first time I was able to see everyone dressed like that. I loved it. Of course some are able to pull the outfits off better then others, but anyone who dares dress in them gets an A+ in my book. I was not ready to stroll around in a Dirndl, so I wore jeans & a t-shirt. Maybe the last year I am here. Many people don't dress up, but MANY do. This festival in Bad Canstatt, Germany is the largest spring festival in Europe. I feel very lucky to live only a few miles away from it.   It is unbelievable what they are able to set up in a couple of weeks time. Here are some of the rides & places to eat.

Rollenblitz Kasse

Some of these rides go in a full circle around. WOW they looked like fun :)

Looked like a haunted house 

Zak is Dying to get on the swings ;)

LOVED the Decorations of this ride / house

LOVE!

Awesome Ferris Wheel and Treats

Anyone want some yummy corn?

Wild Mouse

If the Video works, sorry about the camera. It was  not taking very good film :) This was just outside one of the rides. 

Moving onto the places Zak was excited about seeing ;) The Beer Tents. 

This one was neat with the mug in the top right corner.

Just walking in the tent you could feel the excitement, and feel the HEAT.

The fun inside the tents :)

Hofbräu Festbier

We are going to try to find some tickets and go once more during the night time and enjoy the lights and festival fun when its not as hot out. You don't need tickets during the day time so don't sweat it if you want to go during the day. It was Free to get in. You would just pay for the rides or food you wanted to try. Thanks for reading, and make sure to come to this if you visit Germany in April/May. 

Whats your favorite food or ride at carnivals?  OH next post will be about Giveaway I am doing next week. So stay tuned and follow me on all my sites to keep updated. 

MUCH LOVE,

San Marino

Well guys its time to talk about the rest of my trip to Parma, Italy & our quick trip to the small European Country of San Marino.        

        (If you want to see day 1 & part of day 2 on our adventures in Parma, then click here:  Parma Day 1 & 2 ..)

After the awesome day of touring beautiful Parma we took off to meet Craig at his work, and get a tour  of his plant, and how jobs work in Italy. It is called Terex Port Solutions. Check out there webpage because you wouldn't believe what they put together there.    It is located in Lentigione, Italy.  

   We left, went for a ride to see some amazing homes. I love love Italian style homes, especially ones that look like you are in Tuscany. We then took a walk down by a river because Zak wanted to check out the local fishing habits :)  It was beautiful, and I can only imagine how pretty it would be in summertime. I hope to go back for a walk there in the summer. 

After we got back to the Hotel we met up with Craig and one of his co-workers and went to find a place to eat. Fun fact about Parma is that most restaurants don't even open until 7:30 PM or so. We went to a restaurant called "Trattoria Corrieri", and I will never forget it, because the food I had was so amazing, and the best I have eaten since moving to Europe.  We had fried pocket bread & you put meat and cheese into the center of it. Not just any cheese either, no it was chunks of authentic 'Parma' cheese.   I can't even explain to you the rest of my meal. It was a type of cream filled noodle in a broth soup. Zak had some pasta that looked like green beans, but it was delicious. I also don't drink often, but I had a red wine that was so amazing. I normally go for whites, or sweet wine but the red complemented our meal. I really recommend trying this place out if you are ever in the area.

So we went back to our hotels happy and ready to rest for our trip to San Marino the next morning. So if you know me, then you realize I got up a little grumpy because I love to sleep in. We went down for breakfast and I tried my first cappuccino ever. With a lot of sugar added it was good;) We were ready now for our trip. It was only a couple hour drive there and I loved to see the beautiful homes along the way. It is just so extraordinary being able to see places which you never dreamed you'd see.  Once in town it was a bendy journey to the top, but something we wouldn't change. They have a tram ride before you start to go up, but we decide to drive & go for a hike to the castles instead. There are 3 castles at the top that we went to and they were awesome. The views however is what takes the cake. 

Beautiful View

Believe these were the names of the different castles ! ( I hope)

Stunning little Church inside the Castle walls. 

These drawing were said to be left by prisoners that stayed there.

This is just breath taking

San Marino was such a lovely little town. We ate lunch in there shopping district, then headed home. Zak & I went home with some goodies, and great memories & I can't wait to go back to Italy again in April. See you soon

Much Love,

Brianna :)
