Morning in Monaco

I adored the time I spent in Monaco. It’s beautiful in so many ways, and I’m looking forward to visiting again. On the morning of our departure from Monaco we got up early and went to the old town of Monaco, which was established in the 1200s.

That’s where the palace is, the original small town, and the location of church were Grace Kelly was married to the Prince of Monaco. It was early morning before any of the shops were open and it was the perfect way to cap off our first trip to Monaco.

This wasn’t something I originally put on my list to see while in Monaco but I’m so glad we found time for it, because it ended up being one of my favorite parts of our time there, and definitely something I would highly recommend.

Belfast Castle

This year I’ve had the opportunity to play in several new locations, one of which being Ireland. While there I was able to visit several beautiful and unique places. One of those places was Belfast Castle in Belfast. The castle used to be a private home and has now been converted into a space that is used for weddings and events. It’s situated high on a hill overlooking Belfast and the ocean. I was there to play the Belfast Nashville Songwriter Festival and during our free day is when I ventured out to the castle. It’s so inspiring to see historic places and imagine the lives of the people who lived there, it always get my writer wheels turning!
