The European Project

I've been DYING to share our European honeymoon with you but just haven't had the time to sort through the (literally) thousands of pictures. Even though I still haven't gotten to that item on my to-do list, I can't wait anymore! They're just too fun to look at (for me, anyway). So I decided to post them in pieces, here and there. That'll take the IBPFUS* off of me and provide a lot more pictures and stories for all of you. Win-win, right?

And what better place to start than my European project? Since you've seen it as our blog header for a month already, I thought it would be nice to share its roots. I planned this as a unique keepsake from our honeymoon that could be displayed in our home; the idea was to take a picture in each country we visited that could represent a letter from our last name. Some letters were easy to plan in advance (like the "A") but the rest were a work in progress throughout the trip, which made it even more fun!

The picture origins:

D -- Munich, Germany -- From an inscription in the Rathaus (city hall). Especially appropriate since Germany is really called Deutschland in, well, German.

A -- Paris, France -- The Eiffel Tower. Although, I'd be a bit worried if you didn't know that already.

V -- Venice, Italy -- The bow of the gondola that we rode under the Rialto Bridge and through Venice.

I -- Bern, Switzerland -- The striking steeple of the Bern Switzerland Temple, which was beautiful.

S -- Vienna, Austria -- Part of a decorative entryway near our apartment in downtown Vienna.

And now, the Europe posts can begin! (Next week, that is.) Finally!


*IBPFUS: Imaginary Blogging Pressure From Unidentified Source. I'm sure you've all experienced it at one point or another. Could also be coming from a cute sister or three :-)
