Our summer holiday

Our little summer escape took us to Sicily. Beach, sun and blue blue skies ... and of course some wonderful food.

We spend a few days at a beautiful hotel in Palermo and then headed to Cefalú for a week where Sebastian met a beautiful Sicilian - Gloria - and proceeded to have his first summer fling :)

Chuck and I got so tanned, (hey we did use 50+ protection!) we are having trouble remembering how pale we were before the trip.

Our highlights:

1. If you get a chance stay at the Villa Igiea in Palermo, you'll be treated like a king
2. Italians love children so you'll never feel bad about taking your small child to a restaurant
3. Try a new flavour of gelato every day and don't be scared of the brioche gelato!
4. Meet the locals and do as they do, like coming back to the beach at 5pm and stay until past 7pm  ...

And if you need any details about our trip just email us, I will be happy to give you all our tips.

A birthday plan

Lately I have been working on Sebastian's third birthday ... THIRD!? I am shocked ...
We have a little theme going on: animals from the jungle, and Sebastian seems quite excited about the whole thing. He keeps saying: "my birthday con mis amigos" a sweet mélange of English & Spanish as usual :)

We are expecting a lot of people at the party and we hope they all enjoy the day with us. In the meantime, I am off to collect ideas and recipes from friends to make sure there is entertainment for the soul and the stomach.

À bientôt!
