I am In Love!!!!

With my husband? ALWAYS! With my kids, most of the time. But today I'm in love with Istanbul. The city is beautiful, the Blue Mosque is breathtaking! We forgot the cord to upload pictures so I'll do that when we get home. The Turkish men are adorable and all love my girls. They obviously have exceptional taste in women. Everyone we meet has a carpet store and a brother in Utah or Boston. We are not in an expensive handmade silk carpet place in our lives. Maybe if I had an off limits room. But alas, everything in my life is open to kids. Loved our first day in Istanbul, we are now getting ready for our second day. Today we will see Hagia Sofia, walk the beautiful streets and possibly see the aquaducts. For once in my life I'm ready to get out of bed and start the day! Will post tons of pics upon our return. The only bummer.... It is Eid (Muslim holiday breaking the fast of Ramadan) and the Grand Bazaar is closed until tomorrow. My need to shop is killing me.....
