More time at the Beach :) Can you believe it took us a month to venture out there for the first time? Yes, it's only about a 2 minute walk but somehow we never made it out there until last week...

Katie and Allyson walking from our flat to the Gulf of Finland...

Fun times at Peterhoff Palace

The Gulf of Finland (about a 2 minute walk from the front door of my flat)

Peterhoff Palace

Why yes...that is the Hermitage behind us!

I never thought I would do this...

So here's the thing...
have been silently fighting this whole blog thing for a while. Outwardly I have always said that I don't really understand this whole blog thing but secretly I read others posts and learn more about my friends. Lately, I recognize that it seems a little unfair. I mean, I feel like I know you guys (bloggers) better than you know me...
So for a myriad of reasons, I've finally decided to give in and join this crazy world of blogging...

We'll see how it goes...
