Italy

Norway was amazing, but we were still very excited to get in a plane and head to Italy.

We didn't really know what to expect but we were excited to exprience Italy. It was very warm and the gelato and italian lemon ice tasted amazing on those hot afternoons. The pasta was really wonderful at times and really not so wonderful other times. The history that has been preserved in this country is absolutely breathtaking and I felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to experience it. Milan, Italy

Venice, Italy

This is a picture of us in the front of our hotel right on the canal..it was pretty neat!

Ahh...Venice was so beautiful and it was exactly how you would picture it to be. It was awesome.

And then there is Rome, our favorite city in Italy!
Each time you walked up to another beautiful historical monument an indescribable feeling kind of washes over you.

Here is a picture of Britt and I in front of the Trevi Fountain.

Italy was wonderful and the vacation was a blast. However, I did miss my husband so I was very glad to come home!!

Europe!!

The first two weeks in August my sister, mother, and I went to Norway and Italy! It was an amazing trip and these are some photos from the trip!

This was one of the beautiful landscapes that we were able to see in Norway.

We also were able to see the very unique Sculpture Park in Oslo, Norway.

We also got to see one of the most famous fjords in Norway.

Probably the coolest thing that we were able to see in Norway was the land where my great grandfather grew up on as well as the farm that he took our name from. The Torud Farm...

It has been a while

I don't know if I should really have a blog, since I am not really very good at keeping it updated but I am going to really work on it. For some reason it is hard for me to figure out how to work this whole blogger program so if anyone has some good tips please let me know. My next goal will be to change my template and to put pictures up in my blog. Wish me luck..
