I’m lucky. I get to travel all over the world. It’s my business. Taking high school teachers and students on magical journeys across some of the 196 countries that comprise our great world. And sometimes after all of the travel you take a break. You get to spend time With your grandkids or your kids or your loved ones and you stay put and you get the chance to read and relax and take a time out from airplanes, trains, passports and jet lag – it’s rather lovely.

These are magical moments that we all treasure in our own way.  I just spent a week with all four of my grandkids  And it was exhausting..interesting.. exhausting..amazing.. exhausting..fun..exhausting…and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Which is kind of what I did for that glorious week. Doing everything through the eyes of a child. I ate more ice cream than I ever could have imagined. Forgot how wonderful a milk shake can be on a counter with my tot team. Have to say. Loved everything except… the car seats.

Who made those things impossible to figure out? And my Spotify contains more Taylor Swift than I am ready to own!! Now, I’m prepared for summer to move on and fade, school to return and Fall to greet us with all its festivals and colors.
