sunday social {end of summer wrap up}

We made it to the USA and things are as hectic as ever. We dropped off all of our suitcases in our new apartment in Phoenix and hopped on a flight to the Midwest the next day. We are at my parents' house which means we have finally been reunited with our sweet puppy! Oh, happy days!

I didn't realize how much nicer people are here until we were strolling around the Phoenix airport yesterday and everyone was striking up a conversation with us. It was like we were having a reverse culture shock. Why are you talking to us? Did we do something wrong?! In the UK, all of the locals ignore you. Even if they're supposed to be serving you at a restaurant, they never really come back to fill up your water. It's what we're used to now. :)

And now for one of my favorite link-ups! Sunday Social...

What was your favorite trip/vacation/activity this summer? 
It's a tie between Marrakech, Morocco and our Mediterranean cruise. When we traveled to Morocco in June, we rode camels {I wanted down at first because I hated being up so high}, had tea in the Ourika Valley, and took a guided tour to the Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains. During our trip, we were able to give sweets, pencils and notepads to underprivileged children, and we even had lunch at an Imam's house. The tour guide organized the lunch at the local's house and all of the money went to new supplies and kitchen appliances, so we felt like we were contributing to the village.
We also loved our Mediterranean cruise because it was so laid back compared to all of the other trips we've ever taken.

Favorite clothing item of the summer? 

I really love my cream, lace shorts {pictured above} because they're comfortable and go with everything!

What is one thing you wish you would have gotten to do this summer? 

We wanted to take a trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia because the area looks beautiful, but we completely ran out of time!

Favorite song of the summer?

Favorite movie/tv show of the summer? I honestly have no idea when we last went to a movie... so I'm going to say True Blood. It was super good this season! Happy Sunday everyone! :)
