Well, that took awhile!  I can come up with a few good reasons as to why I took almost a 10 month break from this blog, but who cares what they are?  (Okay, basically life got busy and, although I thought about it often, I just never got around to posting anything.)  But now the winds have shifted and I am ready to go!

I am so excited to be headed (with my family, of course!) to France again this summer.  I never, ever get tired of that place.  It's an addiction, and if I have to choose over being addicted to smoking crack cocaine or needing to go to France every few years then I will pick the latter 10 out of 10 times.

This summer we will revert back to travelling with only carry-on bags after taking a break from that for the last two years.  Last summer was a bit different for us in that we needed so many different things (wedding attire, being amongst the least carry-on only friendly!), and the summer before we were staying in the same place for two weeks for my in-laws anniversary party/family reunion.  This time we will be travelling to 4 different places on planes, trains and automobiles - and I am really looking forward to it!

I'm going to leave it at this for now as I reacquaint myself with this website and try and remember how to format, edit, and add pictures all over again.  Time to blow the dust off this baby!
