Vyto & Morgan visit! (August 30-Sept 1)

We were so happy that Darron’s youngest brother and fiancé Morgan decided to visit us in Russia on their way to Shanghai. It was a quick few days and we decided to spend that time in St. Petersburg. They arrived in Moscow on a Saturday evening and we left for St. Pete’s VERY early the next morning.

Church of our Saviour on the Blood. We waited for Morgan and VJ since we’d already been inside. An amazing Church!

Darron hired a driver to take us outside of St. Pete’s to the famous  Peterhof Gardens and Imperial Palace. We had a great day!

View of the Palace. Unfortunately, we didn’t plan very well and it was closed while we were there. Fortunately, the grounds were beautiful and we still had fun walking around.

We saw this castle looking place on our way out and just loved it! Doesn’t it look like it’s from a fairy tale?

On our way back to St. Pete’s, we stopped at Ekaterina Palace and walked around the grounds.
