Let’s start from the very beginning…

This picture is so old. This was taken on our honeymoon in St. Maarten in 2002. Damn. We were so cute and so young. And tan. I remember sitting at this restaurant on the French side of the island and enjoying a 2 pound lobster. It was delicious!!! St. Maarten is such a quaint, tiny island that is divided into two sides: the Dutch side and the French side. The island itself is only 37 square miles – and so much fun to explore!
The travel bug struck Tim and I WAY before our honeymoon. We found ourselves on an awesome trip through Europe just months after meeting. We traveled well together… which is a LOT to say for a new, young couple! On that trip, we went to France, Italy, Hungary, Austria and Germany. It was such a crazy trip… but we made ourselves laugh through all of the uncomfortable situations. And so it began. The life of being wanderers.
And we added 2 kids and a cat. What could go wrong?
