Washington DC - a mini honeymoon trip


Supreme Court
You are going to ask me : why would anyone choose Washington DC as a honeymoon destination?

For us it was simple, we only had a few days,  we were due a visit to my hubby's friends who live in DC and I longed to visit the heart of American History. So the decision was easy. We wanted to make the most of the long 4th of July weekend without spending hours in a plane.

My hubby's friends made out trip super special and even labelled our room "honeymoon suite" when we got to their place and even made us a special Honeymoon breakfast.

Many thanks to Jim and Melissa for such a wonderful welcome. The weather is DC was very hot, I loved it, hubby not so much. Most of monuments in DC are outdoors among beautiful parks. The buildings architecture is wonderful too. I learnt so much about the foundation of the USA. One of my highlight was the amazing library of Congress. The inside is just amazing. Make sure to pop in there when you are in DC. It would be a shame to miss it.

Our Beautiful City Hall Wedding




I thought it was time to catch up on my blog and write about all the exciting things I have been up to in the last few months. After a few months globetrotting between the US and Europe, I moved permanently to San Francisco last April. It was finally time to settle in San Francisco. My fiance and I found a lovely 2 bedroom-flat in Lower Haight, a nice residential area in SF.
After getting engaged in beautiful Maui island (Hawaii) in November , my fiance and I tied the knot in San Francisco City Hall on July 1st. The ceremony was a small affair, 6 friends (not that we don't have any friends, but SF city Hall limits the number of people you can have with you) and a 20 minutes ceremony.
I don't know if you ever been to SF City Hall, but the place is just magic, and wonderful for pictures. Thanks to my lovely friend Skye ( (Skye photography), we have some amazing photos from that day in the City Hall.
