Photos - April 10-16, 2012

 

Have you ever seen water this blue?!

 

Location:  Tossa de Mar in Spain.  And yes, the water is that blue.  No Photoshopping necessary!  A true European sea side beach town.  We had the most amazing lunch here - petite muscles, paella, flan.  Missing it as I write.

Boston in 26 Hours

We just returned from a "how fast can you visit a city" session in Boston.  Yes, 26 hours to tour the entire city.  We originally had another day squeezed in there, but two members of our team were sick.  I made them come anyways.  What I liked about Boston was the juxtaposition between old and new, traditional and modern.  We had glorious weather and everyone in Boston was camped out in the Commons.  Here are a few shots of our trip, plus my kids and I on Harvard's campus.  Nothing like a little early college touring.

Feeling Paris Today

Not sure why, but I'm feeling Paris today.  Perhaps it's the rain today.  It's drizzling, slightly moody, but the birds are still chirping away.  Looking forward to seeing Paris again, someday.

Byrd & Belle

 

My mom mentioned to me that she was looking for a computer case for her new mac.  While looking around, I stumbled upon these great felt cases by Byrd & Belle.  I love the clean modern aesthetic to these pieces and the fact that you can stash them within another bag. 

The Jane Hotel

 

I'm sure everyone in NYC has heard of The Jane Hotel, but somehow it has escaped me.  This hotel features:  standard cabins - sleeps one, bunk cabins - sleeps two bunk bed style, and the captains cabin - regular room.  I could see my kids loving the bunk cabin.  All the rooms are styled after old ship cabins.  Very cool indeed.

 

Dotty Love

I saw this photo of the airstream penthouses @ The Grand Daddy hotel in Cape Town and knew I had to post it for my daughter.  She is a polka dot lover to the extreme.
