Can't Get You Out of My Head.

One of my favorite things we did on vacation was visit Little Italy for dinner while we were in New York City.

Dinner was delicious! (BTW, I took over 700 photos while on vacation and this is one of only three pictures of the entire family.)

After dinner, I used the Yelp! app on my handy-dandy iPhone and found the best rated Italian bakery in the whole of New York City. Lucky for us, it was only one block away!

I *cannot* stop thinking about this bakery. I am SO glad that I live no where near this place.

The reviews on Yelp! did not do the Ferrara Bakery justice.  All the treats were little pieces of heaven in a box. If you're in New York City, I highly recommend it.  I also hear they ship....

Name That Tune.

Last week I was on a flight from Orlando to New York City. Almost immediately after being seated, I heard a familiar sound. Or rather, a few familiar sounds. I recognized that the family seated next to me was speaking Danish.

I never formally learned Danish. I never really learned to speak it, but I can read simple "supermarket" Danish and can recognize a few spoken words. It was so lovely to sit there for four + hours and hear the language. I guess it can best be described as recognizing the tune of the song being sung, without actually understanding all the lyrics.

It brought back so many lovely memories. As I sat there listening to them speak, it was like listening to the soundtrack of a 2 year movie of my life. The memories of our lives there flipped through my mind like a picture book. 

It makes me wonder what memories I'll reflect on when we move on from this California chapter of our lives.

Home, Sweet Home.

Fortunately, our pilot delivered us home safe and sound. We're back on the ground, digging out of dirty laundry and getting back into the swing of things.

Hope you're enjoying your summer!
