We visited the Fragonard Perfume Factory in Èze, France. Get a little peek at the tour!
Moving and Taking Down Mini Pictures
Today is another archive post – I found this video on my hard drive and I wanted to share it. This was the end of summer 2017. This is the reality of moving! Stuff everywhere and our cute decorations are coming off the wall. Chris came up with this idea in Toronto years ago when…
Nice, France
We are loving Nice, France! I love the shopping and the Promenade du Paillon is such an amazing park! There are tons of kids and dogs running around. We also walked down to the Promenade des Anglais along the Mediterranean. My favorite store in France? Picard! I will do an entire post on Picard soon….
Toilet-Papered on Halloween!
Remember yesterday I said we got stuck without candy on Halloween? Well our cute little trick-or-treater playfully toilet-papered our doorstep! I thought it was so cute and funny!
Holidays in Europe
One thing we weren’t prepared for in Europe was holidays. Holidays where everything is closed. Today is Halloween. In Georgetown, we were prepared with LOTS of candy. But here in Europe we didn’t think Halloween was really celebrated like it is in the US. Last year, we were in Austria. I remember walking along Mariahilfer…
Walking Around Montrose Park in Washington, DC
Montrose Park is our favorite park in Washington, DC. We can easily walk to it from our house in Georgetown. James loves playing fetch in the big field and we love walking down to Rock Creek.
The Mean Muzzle.
I am cleaning out my hard drive and finding old videos that I never edited or posted here on YouTube. One is this video of the first muzzle we tried with James. We knew we would need a muzzle for James when we moved to Europe. Some countries require it on public transportation (Austria and…

The Royal Wedding 2018 – Eugenie and Jack
I love royal weddings! When I woke up this morning, the first thing I did was pull up the royal wedding before I even got out of bed! This photo of Eugenie and Jack is by far my favourite one from the whole day: I was really excited to see Eugenie’s wedding dress. So many people…
Train Ride with an Oceanfront View
We took the train from La Spezia, Italy to Villefranche-sur-Mer, France and it was the most beautiful oceanfront train ride! James was nice and comfortable at our feet. It is so nice being able to travel around Europe by train with a large dog! James is one lucky Poodle! We had this whole train car…
Walking Around Porto Venere, Italy
Porto Venere, Italy is a beautiful town near Cinque Terre. The narrow pedestrian streets remind me a lot of Venice except there are a lot more stairs!
Porto Venere, Italy
We knew we wanted to visit Portofino, Italy, and when I was looking at the map I saw Porto Venere. I thought at first that Porto Venere was Portofino (sometimes the Italian name is different from the English name) and then I realized it was a different port town near Cinque Terre. I am glad…
Walking and Dancing around Portofino, Italy
We love walking all of the little paths around Portofino. We even found our castle – Castello Brown!
Portofino, Italy
We were really excited to see THE Portofino, Italy – not the copy in Orlando, Florida. Portofino is a really small port town and there are tons of walking paths all around that lead to beautiful houses and amazing views. We really loved SO many details that Universal’s Portofino hotel copied so well from the…
James is ready for bed.
In the US, James has his own bed on the floor next to our bed. But while we are traveling in Europe, we can’t exactly tote around a big dog bed! Instead, we have a blanket we bring and we put that on top of the foot of the bed and James gets to sleep…
Il Talismano in La Spezia
I love window shopping in Europe. One night while walking around La Spezia, I spotted this jewelry store. I fell in love with so many of these rings!
Marina Walk in La Spezia, Italy
The marina is just a few minutes from our Airbnb in La Spezia, Italy. We love walking over the pedestrian bridge, looking at the water and checking out all of the boats.
Walking Around the Castello di San Giorgio in La Spezia
Today we were walking around the area behind our Airbnb and we found the Castello Di San Giorgio. We are really enjoying La Spezia – it is one of our favorite Italian cities!
La Spezia, Italy
We are really enjoying La Spezia, Italy! We knew it was a port town, but we didn’t realize it was a cruise ship port town! We are already talking about taking a cruise in this area in the future. Our apartment is right in the heart of town where most of the streets are pedestrian-only….
