9-2013 Tuscany (Lucca and Massa), Italy

In September, my side of the family got together in Lucca. This was such a wonderful experience! Besides playing in the garden and laying out by the pool, my favorite part of this trip was the site seeing. Many of my relatives are from this region of Italy. My grandfather was born in Massa and many of my family members worked in the marble quarry. And, my great-grand-mother was born in Lucca. Such a fun family history trip!

Marble quarry, yummy food by papi Gigi!,and a beautiful coastline!

8-2013 Colmar, Riquewihr, and Switzerland

During the Matt's holiday break we decided to meet my sister in Colmar, France. This is such a beautiful part of France.

After this visit, we headed to Switzerland where we camped out in Kandersteg for a few days visiting this part of the country. Absolutely gorgeous! By far my favorite!

7-2013 Utah and California--Family Time!

Seneca and I were able to get in a quick trip to the states to visit family....a much needed visit! It had been almost two years since our last visit!

Family time with Matt's side. ( Matt's sister took more pics, but forgot to get them from her)

Seni's cousin, Zara's yoga birthday party! Such a fun idea!
