To close out their visit, Sharon and Ollie took Joe, Michael, Colt & me to the Fasano at the Fazenda Boa Vista — an incredible hotel on an even more impressive property.  

We drove out on Friday afternoon and it was only about an hour and a half outside the city, but it felt like a complete and total escape from São Paulo. Everything was so magnificent – I’ve really never been anywhere like it.

Culhane was immediately excited about the room as ours was all set up for him with a beautiful crib, a baby bath and a changing station! 

But even with all of these amenities, Culhane still tried to steal our bed! That little rascal! 

We spent the weekend relaxing, exploring the property, enjoying the spa, eating great food and soaking up our time together.

Morning stroll on the deck before breakfast.

Afternoon biking around the property.

In spite of the cold water, Michael jumped in the lake for a quick swim. 

Lots of snuggle-time with Culhane. 

On Saturday night we celebrated Michael’s upcoming 31st birthday (on September 9th) with a surprise cake that had an even more surprising candle / explosive device on top that Sharon had found at the supermarket! It even played music!

It was the perfect setting for us all to enjoy being together for a few final days before Sharon & Ollie headed back to Arizona. It was such a special time and when it came time to say goodbye, Culhane was the saddest one of all!

Come back soon, Nana & Papa!
