Back from the land of tall trees

Welcome to the photo show of our Summer Vacation


After a long vacation during which magical things were around every corner, it's hard to get back into the daily routine. We had an amazing trip, with only one little hiccup in the way of a breakdown on the hottest day of the year. Still, on the whole, there's nothing like a good road trip to inspire and feel free!



The Redwoods were stunning. No matter how many times I have walked under those majestic old growth trees, I am awed every time!

We hiked and played and saw herds of Elk, the ocean and waterfalls and places that make you stare in wonder.


San Francisco was a blast. So fun to visit my old stomping grounds and see the sights of the city. Taking my family to see The Palace of Fine Arts was definitely a highlight. It is one of my favorite places.


The roads we traveled are so familiar to me, every curve and bend of the highway are part of my life, It was so special to share that experience with my sweet little family.


Time spent with my California family was precious too. If you ever find yourself in Monterey, CA; go to the aquarium, it is amazing. My favorite exhibit were the giant tanks of jellyfish.


Once we got back home, we took off again for some cabins in the woods next to a river with great friends and family. What a summer we've had so far!

How about you? What have you been up to?

Your holiday photographs really are filled with wonder...lots of happy days and adventure. I'm imagining that you and your family have now collected some lasting memories.

So far, I am spending this summer in the city. It's interesting to live in a place that so many folks travel to as a holiday destination...every season of the year. These visitors help remind me of how much there is to see around here.

Cheers!

Oh my! What an adventure. I hope you are feeling 100% recharged. My summer is being spent in two glamourous locations. The cutting table and the sewing machine. I sure do live the life!
