*Day 3 and Day 4*

*Day 3*
      After a full night's sleep, we woke up and walked the streets of Barcelona to find a pastry shop for breakfast. We found this place, and it was so delicious -- cinnamon swirl pastry and chocolate croissant, both with cafe con leche. We then decided to find a taxi and get to the cruise ship! Once on the cruise ship, we explored and enjoyed relaxing until we left the port. Dinner on the ship was at 7 every night; the first night being a casual night. After dinner, Alyssa and I wanted to try the cruise ship's drink of the day! It looked pretty, but tasted gross! Whew, what a day! Next stop: Cannes, France.

*Day 4*
      We arrived in Cannes, France. We were tendered there, so we had to take a ferry to the city. This was the only stop we didn't have anything planned. We explored the city on our own. We found were the Cannes Film Festival was and enjoyed the shopping in the area. After returning to the cruise ship, we had to get ready for formal night at dinner. After dinner, we had to hit up the slot machines, but unfortunately didn't have much luck! Maybe next time! Next stop: Florence/Pisa, Italy.

Day 1 & Day 2

*Day 1*
      We spent day 1 of our trip traveling. We left from the Columbia airport and flew into the Philadelphia airport. We met up with Ryan's family there and enjoyed philly cheesesteaks while we were waiting for our flight to Barcelona. We left Philadelphia at 6:30pm (12:30am Barcelona time) and arrived in Barcelona at 8am.

*Day 2*
      After a very tiring trip of traveling, we were told to stay awake as long as we could so we would be on Barcelona's time. We stayed at a nice bed and breakfast our first night. We tried to make use of the day by walking around the town. I walked into the expensive stores just to see how much people paid for luxury, and I'm glad they pay that much for stuff. I would never spend that kind of money on a cute shirt (especially when I can find something similar at an outlet store for a much cheaper price). We enjoyed our first gelato in Barcelona as well. We were tired at 4pm so we took a little nap and then woke up to eat dinner at a pizzeria and have a drink at an Irish pub (the closest bar to the bed and breakfast). We went to bed super early that night to we would be well rested before the cruise :)

Mr. and Mrs. Chris Perry

We had the opportunity to attend the wedding of our high school friends Chris Perry and Amanda Kelly. We were so happy to be able to share their special day with them! It was also great to catch up with friends we hadn't seen in a while. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Chris Perry!

GrAdUaTiOn!

So, after 2 years and 4 months of hard work, I have finally graduated physical therapy school! It has been a rough ride and I'm so glad that I have accomplished my goals! I could not have made it through school without the love and support of God, my husband, family, and friends. It has been a great journey and I am so happy to make the amazing friends that I did while in school. I look forward to the next chapter of my life :)
