She's Gone Country

Montana was probably the best place that I've been so far. I think I liked it so much because there was a lot of outdoors things for me and my nanny kid to do. Here are some highlights from the weekend.
Yes, I am finally on a horse. And my Dad laughed when he saw the way I was riding the horse - apparently I look like a new rider. Luckily my child is young enough that we just rode around in the horse corral in a circle for a long time.I got my own house and it was adorable. It was so nice to get away and not feel like I was always at work!

Loving Home

While going to Italy was an amazing experience, I love being home 10 times more. Can you see why? Oh how I miss and love my family. But, its off to Montana tomorrow. I hope I survive at the ranch.

On top of the yacht




I realized I loved my job today as I was going wakeboarding, snorkeling, then ended by kayaking through a cave on the Med.

Life is Great

Well I'm sick, tired, and ready to fall asleep in two seconds but I thought I would do a quick blog. Today my child and I finally had some time alone to ourselves for the first time since being here in Italy so we decided to go to the shops where she bought a toy, a game, candy, gelato, ate lunch, and got to pet the cats for a good while. No wonder I am such a great nanny. It was actually quite enjoyable to get her away from so much activity because she is so bombarded with people that she doesn't have a chance to just be a 4 year old and the result of this is some not so good behavior. I like when I can get her away and let her mellow out a little bit and just act her age. It puts everybody in a much better mood - her and those around her. Anyway, here is a picture of where we went today. Not such a bad place, huh!

LIfestyles of the Rich and Famous

Today I took my child to swim at the Grand Hotel Quisiana (http://www.quisisana.com/). This is the same place that I went with the bosses and Mrs R yesterday. It was a little different my second time around - I actually paid attention to what was happening around me due to the fact that it was just me and the kid. The people that were swimming there were all stuck up, rich, had perfect bodies, and were annoyed at the fact that there were children anywhere close around - apparently this is a famous/prestigious hotel in Italy. After my bosses left, the kid and I went for a swim and as we were swimming, I was told that I couldn't be in the pool with a child because it was "quiet hour" from 2-5. I looked around and all the rich people and celebs were rolling their eyes and smirking at me as I grabbed the kid and headed over to the restaurant to eat lunch instead. Memo to self - what a horrid place to take kids! Next memo to self - never have any desires to become like the guests at the Grand Hotel Quisiana, its just not worth it.

In other recent events, we took a cruise around the island today. Here is my favorite picture from the day. Ciao
