The road goes on forever and the party never ends...

Michael and I have returned home from our road trip to Colorado in which we logged a grand total of 2,185 miles! We had an immeasurably fantastic time! Many, many thanks to our wonderfully gracious hosts, John Mike and Marcia!!!

Eastward... Northward...Eastward Ho!

Michael and I started off this past Monday on our version of the "Great American Road Trip." We packed up the Highlander with our dear friends, Michael and Penny and set off for Telluride, Colorado via Sedona, Arizona and Moab, Utah. We have already enjoyed incredibly wonderful meals with new friends and in new places, enjoyed short hikes to take in the most glorious views of magnificent natural wonders, had the opportunity to experience dramatic weather ~ and the best part is this is just the beginning!! Tomorrow, we leave Moab for Telluride and more beautiful scenery! Happy trails.....

Bella ha tre anni!!

There is a special being in our lives, one that brings incredible joy to us all every single day!! If it wasn't for Kokobella, there wouldn't be a blog... okay, it wouldn't be named as such! I was catching up (yes, finally!) with some album organizing and came across these pictures. Hard to believe, our wonderful bundle of energy, our curious puppy turned three in May ~ seems like just yesterday "Bella" looked like she does in these pictures! She is SUCH A JOY to us all! Who knew we could love a pup so much! Good girl, Koko!

Sum... sum... summertime!

Michael has been on "vacation" for a couple of weeks now. For me, yesterday was my first day of summer break. Today, we enjoyed some beach time ~ with special entertainment provided by Keoni Kim Young! Here's to more fun in the sun!!
