Bon voyage! Sunday morning we took a ferry across the Vierwaldstättersee (we’d like to think Derek Shepherd would approve). It offered spectacular views of mountains and lakeside villas, some of which could be considered castles. Luckily, no one got seasick, although Georgia was on the verge. For our day’s excursion to Mount Pilatus, we took…
Swiss Wonderland: Day 5 & 6

For dinner, we whipped out some looks inspired by the colors of the red flower boxes all over ‘Matt (we’re on a…

I’ve never owned a jumpsuit before, so this was new territory for me. Luckily, it’s a go-with-anything color and classic silhouette. Perfect for shopping downtown or grilling hot dogs on…
