What a summer it’s been. It started out with an extended weekend to Door County, Husby’s and my go-to place to get away from the hum-drumedness of the everyday routines we have. It’s always refreshing and has become quite comfortable. We’ve gotten to know people who used to just be familiar faces, we devour our favorite meals at fun restaurants, and we revel in the company of mighty Lake Michigan for hours on end.

I’m the luckiest girl in the world because not only did I get to have a mini vacation with Husby, I got to have a major vacation with Charlotte…to Europe! Oh, the sights we saw, the people we met, and the feelings we had. It was my first time visiting countries not attached to my homeland, and it made a huge impression on me. So huge I’m still trying to get my head around it. Everything I saw and did was awesome, in the truest sense of the word.

Next on the summer agenda is the Minnesota State Fair, which begins in nine days. There will be much eating of things on a stick, taking in animals and art and carnival, and general hobnobbing with millions of fellow Minnesotans.

Fair lovers galore!
When it’s cold and snowy (and it will be soon enough) I’ll have warm memories of the Summer of ’15. Making memories – that’s what life is all about, isn’t it?
Oh, it sure is! I’ve been thinking of you traveling through Europe, knowing it would be wonderful. Good for you! I can’t wait to hear more about it…maybe come winter, when there’s more time to let it all sink in. Thanks, Sara!
Oh Cindy, you can’t even imagine how magical this trip was for me. The more all of the experiences sink in the more wonderful it seems. I’m eager to post stories and pictures soon. If only I could get “real life” out of the way for a while! You know how that is.
Definitely! Live would be pretty humdrum without taking a break from the norm. It’s good to revisit places you love as well as experiencing new ones.
You are so right, Lucie! Now that I’ve had a taste of European life I’d love to visit Great Britain. You make it sound divine!
Sounded Awesome, I have travelled the world Lived in London for two years and feel blessed to know what it feels like to wake up in another country on the other side of the world. Glad to hear you had such a positive experience Sara. May it be just the beginning.
I’ve got the travel bug! I want to see every corner of the world! My first trip to Europe was more wonderful than I could imagine and I hope I can see more of it. Soon!
Yay!
