8 Is NOT Enough
I know, I appear to be obsessed with the fact that I am a child of the 80's, but I am strangely proud of my generation's music and television. When the Boy and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary, we shared a toast where he proudly and cutely declared that "8 years isn't enough". If you don't know the television show "8 Is Enough", then A. You don't get his toast B. You are sadly unaware of the Bradfords, a family consisting of 8 children that brought feathered hair to a whole new level and C. You aren't privy to the magic of 1980's TV and its impact on my marriage.
In celebration of our anniversary, the Boy took the day off from work and I took the day off from being, well...me. We hopped a train for Lugano, a city located in Switzerland's Italian region of Ticino. We figured it had to be warmer than Zurich (which it was) and it had to have better pizza than Zurich (which it did). It even had these donut thingies stuffed with marinara and mozzarella cheese. I forget the name of the donut thingies but I am pretty sure it ended in a "la" and made me go "mmmm...donuts with cheese".
We strolled the shores of Lake Lugano and allowed the sun to blind us with its science:

After sufficiently burning our retinas while taking the photos above, we decided to further test our love by hiking the Monte San Salvatore - a 2,992 foot mountain located to the right of Lugano facing away from town. The hike was pretty brutal for us both but more intense for the Boy since he was carrying his laptop and 10 pounds of German homework in his backpack. It was worth a little pain to see the following views:
We were pretty limited with our time and didn't do a proper job of touring the city itself. Not only is 8 years not enough for the Boy and I, 1 day wasn't enough for Lugano. We will be back you little Italian nugget of pretty!

Congrats on the big 8.0! You certainly got fantastic weather for it!
Jeez. That's some good scenery.
I "came up" in the 80s. Yet we didn't watch much TV (blame my parents), so I'm aware that I missed things. I know what The Brady Bunch is, for instance, but I don't think I've ever seen a complete episode.
