Tallin, Estonia

Our second to last stop on this amazing vacation was Tallinn, Estonia. Freed from the Soviets in 1991, Estonia is one of the 3 Baltic nations (who can name the other 2 for $500?). We spent most of the day walking around the “old town”, which dates back to the 13th century. It felt like you [...]

St. Petersburg – Day 2

On our second day in St. Petersburg, we visited two palaces. The first was Catherine Palace and the second was Peterhof   Catherine Palace is about an hour into the countryside and served as a “summer” residence. It was quite impressive! There is an Amber room in the palace that is literally made of amber. In WW2, [...]

St. Petersburg – Day 1

Today was our first day in St. Petersburg, Russia. We went to the Hermitage, which is a museum that houses 2.7 million works of art. There are several areas to tour in the museum…our guide told us if you spent 1 minute at each piece exhibited, it would take you 7 years to cover the [...]

Not as Important – Scrabble Update

Helsinki, Finland

In Helsinki we went on a tour of the city on these bikes called Jopo bikes. They are like old school bikes you used to ride with only one gear and brakes on the pedals. They were very easy to ride and the weather was perfect. We rode about 10 miles total and because Helsinki [...]

Copenhagen, Denmark

  (Nyhavn) So we spent the day in Copenhagen on Sunday. This picture was taken in an area called Nyhaven which is basically 2 pedestrian streets with a canal running in between. Lots of little restaurants and bars are here. Jeremy went into a little bakery and ordered a chocolate danish…, apparently they don’t call them that [...]

1st port – Oslo, Norway

We spent the day in Oslo today. (Jeremy sporting the viking cap) Kind of bummed at first because the excursion we were supposed to go on (bobsledding in Lillehammer) got cancelled due to lack of participation (apparently we were the only idiots that were gonna try THAT)! So, instead we explored the city on our own. We [...]

Let the eating begin!

It didn’t take us long to find our way to Nobu.  We ordered just about everything on the menu as our first round. Once we completed those 8 dishes we ordered a second round. (Wasabi salmon tartar – Amazing!) Between the 15 dishes we were pleasantly surprised with a bottle of wine from Lauren’s parents. What a [...]

“Good Day” to you Americans

(Look Kids! Big Ben, Parliament) Greetings from across the pond! We spent two days in London enjoying the fabulous weather. Apparently it was the hottest day of the year so far, which is great, unless you are from Miami! But it actually was kind of nice weather to see the sights in. . (400′ up on the [...]
