| Beating first day jetlag with a ferris wheel ride! |
In early July, I was blessed with the visit from a dear from from the States, Suzanne. She and I got to know each other in a small group just after I graduated from college, and we have stayed in touch ever since! She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and we always make it a point to see each other when we are back in Chicago. But this time around, we got to spend a whole week together! And because Suz left her kids and hubby at home (who we missed, of course), we got lots of uninterrupted time and that was a treat. It was so special for me to show her our life here and our beautiful city, as well as to go on some special adventures just the two of us. We spent the day in Budapest, a city I'd been wanting to visit for years, and it was fun to explore it together. We ate lots of delicious food, played tourist in Vienna and hung out with my kids, of course, too. Here are some photos from our time together!
