{trip to Vo} 4 Feb 2011

Headed out this morning wine shopping with a friend......we went to Villa Sceriman in Vo, Italy. It was a gorgeous day--sunny & mild--Kieran didn't have school, so she came with us. She had fun playing with my friend's son.

This picture was taken from the parking lot, in the summer, they have tables outside under the vines, where you can sit, enjoy some wine & meat, cheese & bread. I'm thinking we MUST head out there this summer :D



Kieran & I in front of the villa.






I took this picture on our drive home...............



My purchases. I bought 2 bottles of each and a bottle of balsamic vinegar..........YUM!!!



Enjoy :)
Ciao!

{Innsbruck, Austria} 15-17 Jan 2011

Over the 3 day weekend, the kids and I drove up to meet Mark in Innsbruck. He's up in Stuttgart with work for an indefinite amount of time--so we met 1/2 way. We really had a great time seeing the sights of Innsbruck & had beautiful weather.

This is the hotel where we stayed.

Sat. afternoon we took the bus into downtown Innsbruck and walked around the New Town.








We made a visit to The Ferdinandeum Museum.


This was a few pieces of a very "freaky" art display.
