Asalamulaykum, Pakistan!

Last stop, Pakistan!! So this will be the last blog post pertaining to our summer vacation. Hope you've loved them so far and love this last one too!
Our trip to Pakistan...was amazing! A lot of our family is in Pakistan so it was amazing to be able to see all of them after so long! This time around in Pakistan, we decided to visit a bunch of historical sites and see the true beauty of Pakistan. And yes, Pakistan is absolutely breathtaking.

First and foremost, we were in Pakistan during the religious Islamic month of Ramadan. It was our first Ramadan there, and to spend this month in Pakistan was an experience in itself. Yes it was EXTREMELY HOT, but other wise, it was sooo much fun. After Ramadan was over, we visited villages and older cities of Pakistan and got to see the real Pakistan. We also saw some historical and religious sites such as the Badshahi Mosque, Shahi Killa- Lahore Fort, Mia Mir, Data Darbar, and more. We also visited some other sightseeing places such as the Pakistan/India Border, the capital city of Pakistan- Islamabad, one of the world's biggest salt mines- Khewra, and the famous restaurant with a view, Monal Restaurant.

The pictures below show a bit of Pakistan that we were able to grasp the time we were there. Each picture has a story to tell, and an amazing one too! We miss you Pakistan!



The streets of Pakistan, ahh!

This is what we mean when we say Pakistan is absolutely breathtaking.






And we all know how Pakistan is also known for its amazing FOOD. YUM. The amount of food we ate in Pakistan is unexplainable, lol 






The Pakistan/India Border. It was amazing to be so close to India and see the flag rising ceremony for both countries! #Memories

Hallo, Amsterdam and Belgium!

Hallo, Amsterdam and Belgium!


As you know, we also took a short trip to Amsterdam and Belgium this past summer. Amsterdam and Belgium are also two beautiful places you HAVE to go see! When we visited Amsterdam, we just walked around the main city area and had dinner at a local restaurant. We took a boat across town and it was beautiful! Although it was a rainy day in Amsterdam, it was still so beautiful. The views were amazing. People even live in the boats on the river! It was so cool to see different people's lifestyles. Of course you all know that Amsterdam is famous for a lot of other things (LOL), but the boat ride across town was amazing in itself and all the views were beautiful. Our short trip to Amsterdam was definitely lots of fun. Another beautiful place we visited was Belgium. Belgium is known for its chocolate, and OMG the chocolate there is so good!!!! We visited local stores filled with chocolate and you know we bought so much chocolate for all of us. We visited the town center and it was so beautiful. The historical buildings were so pretty and we loved spending some time there. Although we were there in the summer, it was SO cold and windy. But all in all, our short trip to these two countries were definitely worth it. We brought back with us memories for a lifetime! Ride with us through the journey of more success (and a lot of fun memories). MAJOR KEY ALERT.
