Seafood Boil Night

 

I have watched way too many Seafood Boil videos on Tiktok 

that I really wanted it for a while.

Living here in Germany made it seem possible.

Then we found this lady on facebook that makes it. 

We kind of intimidated to make it ourselves for the first time.

So we decided to try hers first!

I'm so glad we did 

We did a pickup and it was smooth!

Of course I ordered extra sauce 

Also a Taro Boba.

She also sells Boba drinks!

We made a few Appetizers to add to our meal.

Because, I'm that extra.

It was so good!

So worth it and the sauce was phenomenal!

Not crazy about the crab but everything else was so good!

It was such a good dinner.

Definitely not going to be the first and last!

We ordered here 

TEA-NA

Go ahead and order!

I highly recommend!!

LandShark Bar & Grill Lake of the Ozarks

 

Our stay in Margaritaville Lake of the Ozarks Resort was

definitely amazing. 

( Margaritaville )

So many restaurant to choose from, 

We picked Landshark Bar and Grill.

I picked it probably because of their Outdoor tables.

It reminds me so much of Italy on Summer days.

There was definitely a wait.

But it was worth it.

Once we were seated we got what we wanted right away.

Some Frozen Virgin Daquiri to start the Dinner.

We had Nachos for Appetizer.

Look at this deliciousness.

I picked Fish and Chips.

It was really good.

I do wish they have more seafood on their menu though.

It was still good.

After that we went for a walk back to the room.

To enjoy the view one last time. 

The perfect night.

Venezia, Italia 2018

Another beautiful day in Italia. 

It's starting to feel hot, Summer is almost here!

I don't know if I'm ready with this humidity but I love longer daylight. 

Loving this top that I got from Terannova.

It's starting to become my new favorite store!

Did you guys remember our first ever trip in Europe?

It was Venice!! 

( Venice 2016 )

Couple of weekends ago, we decided to go back.

It's weird, but Venice is still hubby's favorite city.

I don't know why?! 

I like Venice. But, so far...

I can say our Paris trip and Rome is few of my favorites.

I can't pick one! Come on! haha

Going to Venice is definitely the easiest.

1 hour train.

We didn't even need to drive to the Train station.

We are close to the train station!

Ahh... Venice, always busy.

But the view is always nice.

My favorite part of Venice.

Maybe next time we'll ride on one of those.

Okay, one of the main reason why we went back to Venice is because....

My sweet hubby got me my first Louis Vuitton!

It was definitely fun!

After an hour got to pick what I really want!

We've been planning on doing this for a while and I'm glad the "day" finally 

happened.

After that it's time to relax!

Hubby wanted to sit down somewhere for lunch and drinks..

..And you know, people watch. haha!

We picked this one by the Rialto Bridge.

Not a good spot.

The price was ridiculous.

It wasn't even worth it.

We had a drink, Pizza and left.

We keep walking to find the nice spot.

We found it!

The food was good.

I wanted to have some Seafood and Spritz.

This one is by the Train station and it has the best location with no

ridiculous menu prices.

One of the thing I hated about Venice or any tourist spot is their prices.

I get it, but.. I wish they make their food worth it!

This one, was good!

We will definitely come back to this restaurant.

What a relaxing day with my loves.

Advance Anniversary present from my love.

I absolutely love it!!!!

Mother's day weekend 2018

It definitely feels so good to finally catch up on my blog.

Life has been so busy that sitting down and not worrying about

the next thing I'm going to do is hard to come by.

We've been here in Italy for 1 year and 6 months.

We may have been visiting other countries, But I have never 

left Europe.

Still missing Philippines and my other home U.S.

But, I'm loving every minute we have here in Italy.

Anyways, Like last year's mother's day. 

( Mother's day 2017)

This year's Mother's day was relaxing too.

My boys spoiled me.

Flowers from the hubby.

He knows what will make me smile.

My little boy that's in Kindergarten made me this cute card.

Best handmade card I've ever received.

For Saturday, Little man had a baseball game.

Later that day we went to dinner.

Feels like every year I just crave for sushi. haha!

One things for sure, I didn't want to cook. :)

All of the delicious food!

I'm glad this sushi restaurant is literally just by our house. 

Present from my love.

Next day, Sunday. Which is the Mother's day.

We grilled.

We have been grilling every weekend!

I'm so glad the weather has been better.

Raining a lot but, I'm just glad we get to enjoy being outside compare to winter time.

Surf and turf!

It was such a nice weekend with my loves. 

Always grateful.
