Ciao Merano. November 2014!

Kevin, Milo and I took a relaxing spa and shopping trip to Merano, Italy during his November break! Merano is a beautiful city in the South Tryol region of Northern Italy that has a great Austrian-German influence like most cities in Northern Italy!

Beautiful Merano!

 We stayed at Hotel Aurora and it was very nice! Since we had Milo we had to upgrade to the suite because the regular rooms had carpet and they preferred him on the hardwood floors!

He's a good Boyyy! Our room was very nice! It had a jacuzzi tub in the bedroom!



 Since we got the suite our balcony was huge and full of plants!

Apertivo before dinner on the patio of the Hotel!

 Sunset in this beautiful place! Our hotel is the white square building on the right.

 Our first meal was at the Forst restaurant in Merano. Forst is a brewery founded and produced in the South Tryol region by 2 guys from Merano in 1857! The restaurant serves local German cuisine and it was all delicious and perfect along side our beer!

Pork, Kielbasa. Sauerkraut, Dumplings, Horseradish,  and Mustard!

Breakfast at Hotel Aurora! 

 We went on a little hike the next morning along the river to a waterfall a couple Kilometers from our hotel!

 Me and My boy!

 Merano is so beautiful! I fell in love in our short visit!


The path was very nice and clean! The city was very clean all together! 





Here's the waterfall lol not very extravagant! But we enjoyed the hike!






 For lunch Kevin found an amazing restaurant, Lalessandra! Which is a traditional southern Italian family owned restaurant! lots and lots of seafood!

 Signore Nilo the owner who was very friendly and made us feel at home! First suggested the white wine to go with the seafood of course, but I'm a 100% red girl unless its Prosecco! You can drink red wine with fish ;)

We love seafood! 

 We went to the Spa after lunch for the rest of the day! Our Hotel was just across the river from the spa and gave us these totes to take with robes and towels!
Check out the website! www.termemerano.it Its Amazing! Just 13 Euros a person for 3 hours! We also didn't get to enjoy the saunas because it was a nude sauna, like most of the rest of Europe!

Walking around shopping I saw these macaroon stools! so cute!

For dinner we ended up staying at a place we originally went for apertivo, Bistro 7! The food was very good!


Look at that dessert!

 Rainy morning run with Milo before we left on the colorful trails while Kevin was still sleeping!


In Hockey News...

They beat Milan with 4 Straight wins in the Semi-Finals!

Game 1: They played a good game at home last Thursday but ended up losing in OT with only 8 seconds left on a penalty kill.. Bad call by the ref

Hello Fall. Asiago 2014!

Fall in Asiago! I am hoping to re-cap this hockey season over the next week since I have not been blogging much this season! We arrived back in Asiago at the end of August and here are pictures of the beginning of the season and the time enjoyed with my husband and the most spoiled dog in the world!

Happy horse on the trail!

Beautiful Dahlias!

 Kirst and I at the first pre-season game in our matching Aritzia scarfs and leather jackets!

Enjoying evening walks for caffe and gelato with my family!

Milo back in his favorite playground- the Italian countryside!

Just some afternoon dolce at a teammates family cafe, Casa del Dolce! Best sweets in Asiago! 

Milo reunited with his horse friends!

Cows along the trails!

Long walks with my mini-horse everyday while the weather was still warm!

My handsome coffee date! He's the best!

Tree of Life <3

Ready for the team hike in Gallio!

Beautiful person <3

 The Happy People! Only wives that signed up!

 Milo really helped pulling up the hill!

 Just ran across a couple cows laying along the trail!


 Sully Sully Sullivan!


Lunch time ready for us at the top!

This years Asiago team theme- Strong like Vikings!

Kirst and I were the nominated MVPs for the day!


 The leaves are a changing!

First regular season game with the girls!
Milo's little buddy Winston! Winston is always protecting him.

Yes we go on a lot of hikes, walks, runs! He's the luckiest dog in the world!

He also gets to run around with his buddy Jack almost everyday and play Palla!


Day on the town with the fam!

Horsey kisses!

Pizza nights at Stella! Favorite pizza in Asiago! The crust is the best!

This beauty!


My arts & crafts projects to decorate for the fall! #sticksandtribal



Handmade signs <3

 Asiago on a rainy day!


Hikes in Canove!



The three amiagos! Milo, Molly & Winston!

Lunches at Pennar usually once a week! The best! 

Carpaccio and Prosecco! Just some of my favorite things!

Pink the Rink! Game for Breast Cancer awareness month!


Family snuggle days are my fave!


Last year I was not ready for Halloween at all, because I didn't expect any Trick-or-Treaters, so this year I came prepared. Even with the 10 Trick-or-Treaters we did get :)

Meow :)

The cows were in our backyard for a couple days while they walk them down the mountain for winter!

These chocolate muffins (or should probably call them cupcakes) lol with warm gooey nutella inside is the best thing ever!

Happy boy!

 He loves soccer balls!

 A fan and friend invited us over for a sunday lunch at his home with his family and friends!

This porch swing rocks!

 
I love Grappa and most of the other North Americans don't! It's very strong but you sip it slow! Most Italians will put it right in there espresso or rinse out their espresso cup with Grappa, along side their dessert of course!

The chili, fajitas, and endless dolce was all so amazing! 

We had Thanksgiving dinner with our hockey family! <3

In Hockey News...

Asiago beat Appiano in the first round of playoffs. It was a tough round that went to game 7 and Kevin received an 8 game suspension in game 2. Really unfair call. All the matters is Asiago played strong in the end and won!

Now moving on to the next round of playoffs they have won the first 2 games against Milan and have their 3rd game tonight! Forza Asiago!!!! <3 Kevin will be back for game 4! Hoping for a 4 game sweep and then it will be on to the finals again Brunico or Renon!!!

Forza Asiago!! Heart of a lion! Lion Strong!!


peace & love,
