Just thought I would share:

This is a park where I would go to read or sit on the phone. Doesn't that ivy-covered building look so cool?

I took in a Major League baseball game while I was there. It was a beautiful and sunny evening at the ballpark. :)

I discovered I am a "water baby". I loved hanging out on the peers and looking at all the water and boats.

I major highlight of the trip was sailing. I have never been on a sailboat before but I quickly discovered it is one of my favorite things to do!

Here's another place I frequented. Inside the market place they have a French Cafe which has the absolute, best crepes & coffees in the whole-wide world --- I'm just sure of it. ROFL

Individuality

Hi Christine,

We have never met I just happened across your blog today. I wanted to say your words really inspired me. I love how
you talk about celebrating individuality in your family. I feel like the Lord has been speaking to my heart concerning this very area. It’s difficult sometimes when I’m feeling overwhelmed with activities not to treat everyone as a group and instead realize that we are each our own people with dreams the Lord has put in our hearts. Thanks for reminding me about that today. You are obviously a beautiful person with a beautiful family. I look forward to checking in once in awhile and seeing what is happening with your family.

God bless,

April

Looks like a fun trip. I love the ivy covered building!
I'll bet you are happy to be home after all of your state hopping!

Thanks for your comment.
Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
