Travel

Baby Girl left on Friday and although we’ve had a tearful weekend, we’re doing okay. It helps that her CASA worker reached out to me and said he would keep me updated on how she is doing. I’m sure she’s fine and I want her to be doing well, although there is that tiny pieceContinue reading “Travel”

Education Thru Travel

Pretty much everything we do provides a learning opportunity for the girls. So when we plan travel, we like to make sure it’s something we will all enjoy. In the past, we have made our travel plans and then simply looked forward to what was in store. This time I’ve decided to change it upContinue reading “Education Thru Travel”

Varied Interests

Reading thru past blog posts, it is very clear that I have three primary interests . . . . . Children/Family Travel Gardening I lump children and family together, but could also add adoption and foster care into this group. Adoption brought Lili and Naomi into my life. They are my children and therefore myContinue reading “Varied Interests”

Day 2 – At Sea

Dream Works Character Breakfast! Lili’s cupcake decorating class creations. Naomi’s cupcake decorating class creations. Liberty of the Seas has many activities for their guests and the girls really enjoyed decorating cupcakes. We had done it last year on Allure of the Seas, but only decorated one cupcake and got to pick out a second cupcake. Continue reading “Day 2 – At Sea”

Busy Day

I’ve been trying to get into a better blogging routine in the last week and was doing pretty well until today. We head out on our cruise this Sunday and I am in full cleaning and packing mode. As such, my blog has taken a back seat. While we’re gone, I will be disconnecting, so thereContinue reading “Busy Day”

Castles

Hubby and I had a short discussion about seeing castles in Europe. I jokingly said we should go on a castle tour of Europe. He didn’t agree. He did suggest we see the Neuschwanstein Castle (or is it Castle Neuschwanstein) in Germany though. And of all the places we’ve talked about visiting in Europe, hereContinue reading “Castles”

Homeschool Dreams

Lili loves studying history. Naomi is just okay studying history, but her study of the fall of Rome and the rise of the Renaissance seems to capture her interest a little more. Lili is studying Victoria’s Empire currently, and their studies makes planning a European vacation more appealing than ever. My homeschooling dream has beenContinue reading “Homeschool Dreams”

Traveling Europe

We’re 6 days away from our next cruise while hubby and I discuss a possible trip to Europe. Hubby lived in Germany, but that was 32 years ago and as he tells me now, he really didn’t care about travel when he was there. He regrets that a bit now and as we discuss whatContinue reading “Traveling Europe”

Travel Hopes and Dreams

It seems my blog has turned into a travel blog of sorts. Not a blog where I share about my daily travels across the world (although that would be wonderful), but more about my travel hopes and dreams. The dream of traveling the world isn’t something I’ve always had. For most of my life, I simplyContinue reading “Travel Hopes and Dreams”

9 More Days

Have I mentioned just how much I like to travel. My girls have the travel bug as well. Hubby has it too, but not as much as the girls and I do. By far, my most favorite vacation is cruising and one nice thing about living in Texas, is that we are a pretty easyContinue reading “9 More Days”
