the ruins

a few weeks ago almost immediately after i posted about heavenly declaration, we visited this place. no kids, just us adults. i have already seen this place before and written about it here. the last time we were there we missed the sunset but this time we witnessed it. it was amazing. 

i could try and write a lot about this visit to a beautiful, historic place again but there are already a lot written about it. although it looks majestic and picturesque especially on sunset, what adds to its attraction is the heroic history behind this lovely architecture. if you want more history, you can visit THIS.

ours are just pictures. :-)

believe me, i was holding fast. look at my foot!

jore. still business.

white kid problem. too much sunlight.

arguing who's in-charge of the baby next. lol
