Memories to Last a Lifetime

There is no place like home!
We have been home from our European adventure for 3 months now.  We enjoy reflecting back on our adventures.  It is funny how the kids will mention some memory about the trip at random times.  When we watch tv, listen to the radio or read we will frequently come across something the we can appreciate in a different way because we experienced what is being talked about first hand.  We got home on Saturday evening.  On Sunday morning as we were getting ready for church, a segment came on the news about the pigeons in St. Mark's Square in Venice.   Before our trip, that news story would not have interested us at all.  But we all watched with focused attention because we had fed those same pigeons and stood at that same spot only a few days before.  I have no doubt that our experiences during this trip changed our lives.  The boys can see the world from a whole new perspective.

We are leaving the blog up to help out others who may be planning a similar trip.  If you have stumbled across our blog while doing your own planning, I suggest you start reading back at the first entry on June 3, 2012.

We enjoyed (almost) every minute of our trip.  People frequently ask the boys where they want to go on their next adventure.  Most of the time their response is, "We just want to stay home and relax!"  But, who knows, our next adventure may be sooner than they think!
