from the snow to the beach in a day!

when we found out 
we had orders 
to aviano
i did some
research
and found out 
we were very close
to 
a ski resort area
in fact we are about 20-30 minutes from it!
and
we were 
very close 
to the beach
by very close 
i mean within 
a two hour drive

so after
multiple weeks of unpacking boxes
and
a week of rainy weather
on a nice saturday
kenneth and i 
needed to 
"get out of town"

the morning started 
with a bike ride 
to our local bar
it's where we get coffee
we decided to load up 
the pups
and go to the mountains

admiral was ready to roll!
hello piancavallo!
the snow was beautiful.

there were many trails we could take
we just had to watch out for some 
cross country skiers
love this picture!

i even stopped to get in front of the camera!
the morning was perfect
and more snow....
simply breathtaking. 

after a few hours
of
trekking in the snow
of course 
one would only crave
water and the beach
so 
we went
hello adriatic
you are glistening
welcome to {trieste}
 home of {miramare castle}
the castle as you approach her
miramare!

she served as army headquarters 
during WWII

us!
our travel partners!
the picky eating swan.
you can stroll
the grounds of the miramare
with your 
family
friends
and even pets
we saw many many dogs!
sometimes
though
you have
to stop and look at a map
"where's the car?"
"i think it's over there"
so we follow the leader
into a cave
notice who the leader is.
and after some twists and turns
we find the car.
and say 
so long 
to trieste
knowing
we will see each other 
again 
very soon!

the best saturday
so far
in aviano.

  5. Great pics, I loved Miramare castle and the grounds around it. I saw your blog from when you came over here..and your dogs were on the plane with you. I have a little dog, so I did the same thing, but there is a gal coming over with big dogs and she is wondering if she can take him with her. Were your dogs only in the cabin part of the way?
