Throughout our pregnancy people would ask us if we had names picked out and we would always say. . .”We have a couple for each” The truth is the names we liked prior to pregnancy, we no longer liked. We felt a lot of pressure around choosing a name that the little baby would have […]
I think my Water Just Broke!

On Monday April 8th, we went to one of our weekly check-ins with Dr. Tripp. It was an unusual Monday only in the sense that Jared and Tina went to work together. It was one of the “transition” days for Jared. For those of you who aren’t teacher’s all this means is he went to […]
Our Life in Weeks
Posted by on April 10, 2013 Leave a Comment
So after the plus sign was confirmed by Dr. Tripp . . .Everything in our life became weeks. Tina was very lucky to have a great pregnancy. No morning sickness, no weird cravings, unless you consider beer, but if you know Tina that is not all too weird. Other than a couple flare ups of […]
Holy Shit . . .I’m Pregnant!

Tina’s Reaction to the Little + Sign: My “womeness” has always been irregular if you know what I mean, so the fact that “it” didn’t come while we were in Europe didn’t phase me at all. I didn’t really think much about it at the time and simply enjoyed every moment of our trip together. […]
Roaming around Rome

On our way out we learned that the part of the subway was closed. We didn’t plan on getting to far away so we didn’t really pay much noticed to it. Tina found a little pizzeria in her guidebook that was near the hotel. It has been opened since 1904 and was down a side […]
To the Train!

Gaitano picked us up to take us to the train station in Naples to head to Roam. The train station is just like an airport except it’s not air-conditioned; it was also Sunday so not many of the shops were open. The tobacco stand was and we were both in need of a little caffeine […]
Captain Mario

We can not really call the boat ride back to Sorrento a “mini-cruise” it didn’t take long for us to realize that our “cruise ship” was turned into a water taxi for anyone who wanted to by a ticket and get back to Sorrento. Luckily we got on board, but we did not get our […]
Mini-Cruise Along the Coast
Posted by on August 11, 2012 Leave a Comment
We wanted to explore the Amalfi Coast line and decided to again take Gaitano’s recommendation of getting there by boat. He said the bus drivers are crazy and after our experience in Capri we knew he had to be right. We were told that the ticket booth opened at 9:00 and the cruise started at […]
When the Moon Hits the Sky Like a Big Pizza Pie. . .That’s A’ Moure

We have had some many wonderful meals in Sorrento that we were quite excited (and sad at the same time) for dinner. The front desk suggested two places, one with an outside terrace and so-so food and one that was inside, had live music and exceptional food. We went for the music and the food […]
Thank-You Gaitano

When we first got to Capri we asked Gaitano some of his favorite restaurants. Tina told him we like authentic regional food and to eat where the locals eat. There were several tables of locals (we think, as they were kiss a kiss a with the guitar player) and a line. According to Tina’s Law […]
