For our honeymoon, Nathan and I went on a European cruise. It was the trip of a lifetime. Not only did we get a chance to spend time together and relax after a year of wedding craziness, but we were both able to experience Europe. Our first port was Monte Carlo, and we were able to visit the village of Eze and Monaco.

While taking our walking tour of Monaco, we saw the church where Grace Kelly was married and buried and saw the Palace and the Princesses' houses.

Afterward, I became interested in learning more about Grace Kelly and her life. What better way than a biography? When I was at the library on Tuesday, I found High Society: The Life Of Grace Kelly, by Donald Spoto, and it seems to be the perfect book to start with. He definitely presents her in a positive light throughout the book and provides facts and proof about experiences that happened (or didn't happen, for those of you familiar with her life). I think what I found most interesting about the book was the history it provided in terms of how Hollywood came to be what it was, and essentially looks at how Hollywood stars as we know them today were created during that timeframe. It also discusses her career, which essentially made her who she was. I definitely recommend it, especially because the Oscars are right around the corner.
