For those of you who follow me on Instagram (@kmiabellavita), you’ve been catching glimpses of my amazing, almost month-long trip throughout Italy.  Now that I’ve got my bags unpacked, and my photos uploaded, I am so excited to share all of my fun with you guys! – After a long, but enjoyable flight (thank you […]

On our last holiday in Italy, the Mr. and I traveled down to Sicily to visit family and explore the island.  Sicily itself is amazing, I could go on and on for days about how much I love Sicily and that I think that you should all visit, but I will try to keep my […]

When the Mr. and I first started planning our trip to Sicily, we went in with the feeling that we really wanted to live it up.  On paper, Sicily seemed so much further and more difficult to get to than Italy itself, so the trip felt like a “once in lifetime” experience for us. Well, […]

As I looked through the rest of my photos from our Philadelphia trip last week, I noticed a theme, food…really good food.  Philadelphia has an amazing food scene (no offense San Diego), and we definitely joined in on it while in town. lunch at Parc, one of our favorite Rittenhouse Square restaurants the view from […]

Last week the Mr. and I enjoyed a great getaway to Philadelphia – lots of great food, friends and family, and lots and lots of hot Summer weather.  We loved every minute of it!  Here are a few of our highlights: fresh fruit from a local farmers market beautiful hydrangea at Rittenhouse Square a hot […]

…of the shadow of Monuments?  Yes, Monument Valley, the final stop on our whirlwind Utah Mighty Five trip!  The cool thing about Monument Valley is that it is literally a valley of monumental rock formations, so you get to drive through it, and see it from many different distances and perspectives. on our way into […]

After thoroughly getting our arch on, we made an early start over to Canyonlands National Park to try and catch the sunrise at Mesa Arch.  The drive was a little longer than we had planned for, but we were able to show up just in time to catch the last bits of the rising sun. […]

While in Moab, we were so excited to give our legs a little break from all of the hiking and try an adventure of a different kind.  Moab Cowboy Country Offroad Adventures invited us to join in on one of their off-road tours on one of their custom built UTV’s, and we were thrilled.  On […]

The next stop on our big Utah trip was Arches National Park, and the Mr. was particularly excited for this.  Which I really had no clue about until we entered the park and he announced that he really loves arches and has been looking forward to this part of the trip.  Go figure.  Or as […]
