From Monaco with Love (Again & Again)

Our first ever trip together as a couple was to the South of France towards the end of the school year in Brussels where we met. We stumbled onto a non-descript park bench on a quick day trip to Monaco and that place, and the associated photo, have become somewhat iconic in our relationship.

So much so that when we honeymooned in Italy some two years later, as a now married couple, we made a point of stopping in Monaco (from Paris) to snap an updated portrait.

Heading to the Cote D’Azur for an early summer meeting with some of our grad school friends, there was one spot that was seared into our schedule. This place is literally timeless for us and such a wonderful touch-stone for where we’ve been and where we’re going, always together, always looking for adventure, always pushing forward as a family.

Aleksander fell asleep just before we arrived at the bench and so we didn’t capture his beautiful smile on this visit. But somehow I’m sure we’ll be back again for another try!
