Travel & Vacation: We Made it to Bangalore!

We had the opportunity to spend a few days with Jake’s cousin Matt, his wife Jen, and the rest of the crew in Bangalore, India!  It was so much fun to catch up with them and explore the area.   We had a wonderful time with the whole family.

Jen took us shopping downtown Bangalore!  Lots of cool stores!  We found some cute outfits for the girls!

Super neat toy store near downtown Bangalore!  The girls would have loved it! 🙂

I think he is a little loaded down with sugar cane!

Aw….such great food!

Our home away from home for the next few days in India.  Thanks Matt & Jen for letting us hang out with your family!

Erica was a great guide, she wanted us to check out all the pools in the area!  It was pretty amazing seeing all the cool places to swim.  This picture was taken in the kids area.

We had a blast hanging out with the whole family.  We met some of their friends in the area, went swimming, grabbed a ice cream cone at Baskin Robbins, ate delicious food, and so much more.  I will be sharing more on our adventures over in India soon.  It was an amazing trip and we are thankful for Matt & Jen’s hospitality while we were there.

 The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
