TRAVEL EXPERIENCE:  Did you think I packed and then never returned home after my European adventure last month?  Tempting… but I returned after two weeks in Italy and Spain and life, well, happened.  I’m finally back in action and ready to post about the incredible experiences I’ve had these last 4 weeks!

I’ll spend the next few days recapping specific highlights in more detail; in the interim, however, here’s a brief recap:

• Spent a week in Rome, Italy and stayed at the Hotel De Russie (located between the Spanish Steps and the Piazza del Popolo).
• Rome highlights include:  Eataly Roma; Circolo degli Scacchi; Galleria Borghese; La Buvette
• Rome was followed by a week in Barcelona, Spain where I stayed at the Le Meridien (located on the Ramblas)
• Barcelona highlights include:  Museu Picasso; Sagrada Familia; Tickets; Park Guell
• Returned with double ear infections and was down for the count for approximately one week.  No highlights to report hear… I mean, here.
• Rebounded and spent a weekend in Atlanta, Georgia and stayed at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center (located downtown)
• Atlanta highlights include:  Dim Sum at the Canton House; Treat Your Feet; BoccaLupo; The Spence

In short, the last month has been absolutely incredible!  I promise to be more proactive with my posts (and pictures!) this weekend to bring you up to speed on some fantastic things to see and do in Rome, Barcelona and Atlanta.
