We're Moving!

**For the next week I'll be blogging both here and on my new blog. I hope you'll follow me there!

After almost three years of talking about living someplace new, we've finally decided to move. We've spent the past few months trying to decide where our new home should be. We thought about Asheville, North Carolina, we looked at L.A., we even thought about Burlington, Vermont. But none of these places seemed to feel right for us. We finally came to a decision two weeks ago. (Nothing like last minute huh?)

Starting February 1st, Brett and I and all of our things will be driving across the country to our new home, San Francisco! I'm excited, I'm nervous, happy and the tiniest bit sad. But we're mostly excited to explore a whole new city and everything San Francisco and it's surroundings have to offer. 

I spent the past weekend packing up box after box and getting rid of so many things that I didn't even know we had. It's really hard getting rid of all the stuff that you've accumulated over the years but when you only have a little car and trailer to carry all your things in, it's pretty important to only take the things you love.

When we leave in two weeks, I hope to share photos and the progress of our travels across the country here on my blog. Hopefully the internet will allow for that... And as for saying goodbye to Brooklyn, ya, I'm not quite ready for that yet.

P.S. Speaking of getting rid of some of our things - I'll be selling my Gocco Printer on ebay this week in case anyone is interested. Feel free to email me at bowarrowdesigns@gmail.com for more details.

Burlington, VT

We had to make a slightly spontaneous and quick trip to Burlington, Vermont the past couple of days. The main street looked so cute as it was all decked out for the holidays. But now we're back in NYC and about to have a "NY Christmas" with my in-laws. I can't remember the last time I actually saw the Rockefeller tree. Should be fun!


Hope you all have a great weekend!  

The Stable

I want to go to there. My list of places to visit is growing and growing. Malaysia is now on the list.

Found here.

Honeymoon: Athens

After a quick plane right back to Athens, we headed for the Plaka one last time for some souvenirs. Since we were pretty wiped from all the traveling we'd been doing, we decided to just hangout at the hotel pool and watch the Acropolis from afar.

Honeymoon: Mykonos

Mykonos was our last island to visit. It's an island known for it's nightlife and beaches. Although we didn't stay up to witness it, we were told that everyone starts going out at 3am for the night and stay out to 8am. This baffles me. We loved the town of Mykonos with it's really cute shops and small tavernas. Everywhere you turned there was another cute alley to turn down.

Honeymoon: Santorini Part3

On our final day in Santorini we went on a sailing tour called Thalassa. With the tour, we were able to hike up the volcano, swim in some (not so hot) hot springs, eat some Greek mezze and learn a little bit of Greek dancing. It was the perfect way to end our stay in Santorini.

Honeymoon: Santorini Part 2

Watching the sunsets from our balcony was one of my favorite parts of the trip. This photo was actually taken on the day of my mom's birthday. I was sad that I couldn't celebrate with her. But Mom, you see that extra glass of wine? Yea, that one was for you!

Honeymoon: Santorini

Out of all the islands we visited, Santorini was my favorite. The views, the colors - they were just amazing. I would go back to Santorini in a heartbeat. The people were so nice and the food was so fresh. We ended up booking our hotel through Mr. and Mrs. Smith and it was the perfect place to stay. I highly recommend staying there if you are heading Santorini.

Honeymoon: Crete

Next up, Crete! After taking a quick flight from Athens, we picked up our little rental car and headed towards our hotel. We really had no idea what to expect when it came to any of the places we picked but when we arrived at the hotel and were greeted with glasses of champagne, we knew we picked the perfect spot.

Honeymoon: Athens

Ready to hear about our honeymoon? For the rest of the week I plan on sharing our photos from each of the places we visited. I hope you enjoy!

We left for our honeymoon the Monday after our wedding. By then we both felt completely exhausted and all we wanted to do was sleep. Luckily all our flights were on time and we were somehow upgraded to first class on both of our flights to Athens. The honeymoon was off to a great start.

Aria

Normally I would say that I'm not a cruise person but I have to say this little cruise is now at the top of my vacation list. Cruising around the Peruvian jungle and ending up in Machu Picchu sounds pretty alright to me.

CASA ZINC

After stumbling upon the first photo, I thought this amazing little space was someone's apartment. After a little bit of research, I found out that it's not an apartment but an amazing looking hotel in Uruguay called Casa Zinc . Doesn't it look kind of magical?

Honeymooning

For Valentine's Day, Brett and I decided that instead of buying gifts we should decide on what to do for our honeymoon and book our tickets. Seeing how it was unanimous vote we decided on Greece! So for the first two weeks as husband and wife we'll be galavanting around the islands. We're beyond excited, so excited that I put together a little roundup.

Don't you think this looks super cozy and the perfect place to be right now? I sure do. Kinda looks like another form of glamping right? 
It's like your own personal igloo. Sign me up! Found here.

Travel

My fiancé and I are hoping to travel a lot after we're married and before babies are in the picture. We've started a list of all the places we'd like to go and it's getting longer and longer. South Africa might be on top of the list but more and more I want to go Turkey. Here are some photos taken by Maria Kopytova. What's the number one place you're dreaming to go to? Found via Miss Moss
