2011...A flashback!

Where in the world did the year go???? As a 24 year old girl, I would have to say that this was one of the BEST years of my entire life...thus far! So just to be fair...and to brag a little bit I want to recap the past year!!!

                                           I spent my NYE on board the Disney Magic!!!

 Became a God mother to the most beautiful baby girl in the entire world!!!! Lydia Marie Walker!!!!!

                                                         I am pretty obsessed with her!!

                                                  Crossed the Atlantic ocean TWICE via ship!

                           Attended a Lady Gaga concert...and knew all the words to all the songs!!!!!!!

                                                                Visited Portugal!!!!!!!!

            Searched for food that I would eat in Cadiz, Spain...but was unsuccessful!!! So I ate ice cream!

                         In this very spot in Gibraltar, UK you can see the tip of Africa and Spain in one                           viewing....breathtaking! Also, I got to see tons of wild monkeys!!!

                                    I fell in love with Barcelona, Spain. I want to live here so bad!!!!

                                                  Conquered the Malta experience!!!

                                                Visited Pompeii and Sorrento in Italy!

                                             Got really sea sick visiting the Island of Capri!

                                       Spent 4th of July dressed up with about 5 Americans....

 Ate pizza in Naples, Italy once a week and didn't feel guilty for eating an entire pizza by myself.

                               Made perfume in Cannes, France. It smells DISGUSTING!!!!!!

                                  Conquered Barcelona night life and stayed out until 6am twice....

                                               Went on my first train ride EVER in France!

                                                 Experienced the beauty of St. Peter's Basilica

                                                   Climbed all the stairs at the Colosseum

                                                     Made a wish at the Trevi fountain!

               Hiked to the top of Mount Vesuvius (an ACTIVE volcano) and lived to tell about it.

                                                Jumped off cliffs in France 3 times!!!!!!

                                    Spent way too many days at Disney World.....almost a month

 Went to NYC, stayed in a hostel, saw Mary Poppins on Broadway, rode the subway, saw the statue of Liberty, and toured around the city on foot!!!! Amazing trip!!!!

     Visited the Holocaust Museum, Museum of Natural History and the Capital of the United States!

 Went to California for the first time with my Mom and brother, visited Alcatraz, road tripped to LA to go to Disney Land and had way too much fun!

                          Celebrated 15 years of friendship with my soulmate Audrey Marie Beyer Walker!!!

I was so blessed this year!!! I can't believe the places I was able to go and people I was able to share all my memories with! I am ready to take on 2012 in hopes of more adventure. Life is short so lets make the best of what we are given!!!
