Istanbul

To finish off our grand tour of the Mediterranean we headed to Instanbul, Turkey. We started by touring the giant underground aqueduct and water reservoir system that has to help up for centuries. It is still in use today and stores all the water for Istanbul. Next, we went to a few mosques most notably […]

Mikinos

With one more day in Greece, we headed to Mikinos which is an island in Greece that has the iconic blue and white buildings that you see on the internet. Surprisingly we found an Airbnb to stay in and it was right on the beach. There was one catch though, the beach, was a nude […]

Mountaintop Monasteries

After mount olympus, we headed to a small town that was pretty unassuming until you looked up. You could see giant buildings perched atop these vertical hills or mountains. The only way up was a steep hike around the side of the mountain. These giant buildings were actually ancient monasteries where monks lived. You already […]

Mount Olympus

I have been pretty obsessed with the Percy Jackson books lately which take place in a fictional Greek Mythological world. Of course, everyone knows that the entrance to Olympus where the gods sit is at mount Olympus. So I was beyond excited when I found out we were right next to mount Olympus and told […]

Rome

I have so many other pictures of Rome but what else would be the highlight besides the colosseum. We were able to walk around the outside and inside the wall and even in certain places in the middle of it. There was a special tour taking people below where the gladiators would wait before the […]

Vatican City

After Barcelona, we went to Vatican City. The artwork on the roof of the Vatican museum is amazing I can barely paint on a normal sheet of the canvas but Michelangelo painted upside down for years on end and still created a masterpiece.

Sagrada Familia

Barcelona is awesome! We got to see the Sagrada Familia which is a church that has been under construction since 1882. That means it’s been being build for over 100 years and it’s still not done. it already looks magnificent inside and out I cant wait to come back and see it when it is […]

Late Night Repairs

Just casually drilling holes through some walls in my house. We were having some internet problems so we had to change our ethernet cabling a little bit. We are using this power to ethernet converters now. Basically, you plug the module into the wall and then plug an ethernet cable into it and it sends […]

Baseball with the Nationals

Another baseball season finished. We got some pretty big trophies but were the only runner up because we lost the championship game. That still makes us second in the whole league which is still pretty good by my standards. Either way, I know I improved a lot this season so I can come back and […]

Trampoline Birthday

This was probably the most packed birthday I have ever had! First, we went to planet air and jumped around on some trampolines, played basketball, and did a ropes course. Then we went back to my house and had a party in the pool, and we finished the night off by camping in my backyard […]
