A couple of years ago I was able to go on a trip that I considered a once in a lifetime opportunity. I went on a girls trip to Paris and Turkey. Recently I found out that I have been given this chance again! This Spring I will be going back to Turkey. A lady in my mom's ward works for an airline and asked if my mom wouldn't go with her to Turkey and provide her with a buddy pass. She generously offered to have my sister Alissa (who didn't go on the trip last time) and I go along as well. I was a little worried at first about all the details like what to do with the kids and how I probably should be more practical with my money. Thankfully I have a very supprotive husband and a very generous mother in law. I love Istanbul and I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life going there. Here are a few pictures from the last adventure:
Our Hotel: The Empress Zoe
The lobby of the hotel. You go up the winding staircase to the rooms. We are going to stay here again. It is easily my favorite hotel.
My mom, Aunt Teresa, me, sister Breanne and sister in law Kami inside The Blue Mosque.
Teresa, Janice, me, Kami, Aunt Gayla, and Breanne.
Now the big question is: Does anyone have any good ways of making some extra money? :)

Very cool!
My mom went to Turkey a couple of years ago for a teaching job, and she met and married a Turkish man! She goes back several times a year. I've never been.
Cally--that is so awesome. I am happy for you. Money question...wish I had an answer---maybe you could have a yard sale:). We did that before we went to New Hampshire as a family and cleared about 500.00. Just a thought. When do you need the money by? Sounds fabulous!! Julie
Sounds wonderful!! I am excited to see more pictures of your adventure.
I could sell one of my eggs for you, I'm not using them. Or...you could sell me that pot (not the illegal kind, by McIntosh) for $100. Let me know, and I'll bring cash.
Hey nice how you cut me out of the pic - guess you'll be sharing a room with Boyd and Jan at Bear Lake this summer. Where did you get the pic inside Empress Zoe with the cat ? - would have to visit their website to get the #@$$ cat's name. If Alissa is so generous to donate an egg, then I guess I can step up and sell my body for tips to help your Istanbul fund. ITS A JOKE BOYD - gee don't get your blood pressure up.
