N Y C

Oh how I love America! My last stop on this incredible journey is the Big Apple! There was a lot to adjust to just being back in the states, the moment I could take my phone off airplane mode, knowing EVERYTHING would be in English, the food, and soon my FAMILY!

First stop, Grand Central Station :)

Spotted, Lilly Van Buren at Grand Central Station :) I am a big Gossip Girl fan, that was probably one of the coolest parts of NYC is staying in the Upper East Side in Manhattan!

Time Square! Which is a street in cause anyone (like myself) thought it was an actual square...

 Central Park was AMAZING! The pictures are bad, there is no easy way to capture this beauty!

Boat races like from Stewart Little :)

The Met Steps! Our flat was about a block away!

 FIVE floors of beautiful expensive BLISS :)

Empire State Building

 We got our palms read :) Waiting eating an apple...

Going from Canal street to China Town and into Little Italy was SO SO cool! All of a sudden it feels like your in a different place! Canal street was very fun, I found a whole new side of me there haha!

I LOVE traveling. I LOVE my family more.

Like every city we has a little list of everything we needed to see, in Barcelona the first thing was the BEACH! ☀️ 

How was the rest of Barcelona you ask? I don't know, we didn't really make it past the beach ;) I'm sure the  whole city is beautiful though! Haha no just kidding we were able to see some sights the second day however our beach day got a little out of hand, the beach got the best of us...

See this apple, this is what my face...really my whole body looks like! One of the people selling stuff on the beach even started to laugh and said we looked like apples, the nice red ones at the very top of the tree!

So out sight seeing day involved large hats, sun glasses, long sleeves, aloe vera, and constant spraying of this magic stuff the pharmacist lady gave us (after a long disapproving concerned look)! 

There really were some cool things to see, but in order to go in and experience all these beautiful things you had to pay...lots! It makes me sad that it's that way, I don't think that's what the artists and architects  from way back would want it. I think they made them for everyone to enjoy, not to make a prophet...but it's okay :) it's still cool from the outside!

It also helped that we had a super nice flat to stay at, which was a five minute walk to the beach!

Overall I LOVED BARCELONA ❤️ even though Em and I now look really scary with our purple faces, pink bodies, and swollen eyes haha :) I'm sure it will turn into a tan in no time ;) 

We had a very long day of flights today, 4 hours this morning to get to Copenhagen with a 4 hour lay over,  8 hours to get to New York, and an 8 hour wait at the airport before we can go to the place we are staying at! It's all worth it to be back in The States once again, I've missed you America ❤️ 3 more days until I'm home! It's crazy how fast time has gone! See you soon Utah!

Our first stop in Italy was Milan, it's a fairly small city and not a lot of tourist things to do but it was one of my favorite places!! The people, the fashion, anything goes, there is no right or wrong way to be, you just come as you are! We also had the PLEASURE to stay with some of the coolest guys I've ever met! They showed us around the city and made sure we had a great time, it was a trip full of laughs and fun! 

And of corse you can't got to Italy with out seeing the beautiful ancient city of Rome! It was breath taking!! It's all so old, there are SO many stories and things that took place thousands of years ago! The culture was just so rich, as was the gelato :) It is unbelievable that I have gotten the chance so young to see and experience all of these things, I'm SO blessed! 

The Pantheon: 

 Spanish Steps:

 The Colosseum :) This was the first thing we saw in Rome and my absolute favorite! It was breathtaking!! 

We made A LOT of wishes! The Trevi Fountain: 

We were in Rome during Mother's Day, so I naturally I called my beautiful mom!! I am so glad she's mine, she is the strongest person I know, the most loving and selfless, she is the person I look up to the most and I love her with all my heart!! I love you mom ️ I can't wait to give you a great big hug that is long over due! I have the best family in the world, I defiantly wouldn't be who I am or where I am now without them!

Time of board my 5th plane in 2 weeks, we are pretty pro at airports by now! After this, only 2 flights until Utah! 

️️ Off to the BEACH in BARCELONA ️️
