Romania 2011 - Surprise Trip

And we made it to Romania, managing to surprise everyone, thanks to our great friend, Lauren. Nobody at home knew we were going to be there and were very shocked at our appearance, but also extremely happy. We spent Easter together (my first Easter at home after 11 years!!) and managed to do a bit of sightseeing, so that Maria gets to see some of the places where her mummy grew up. We also saw some of my friends and had a great time.

Here are some pictures from our trip:
