Our daughter, Caroline, is coming home tonight to spend her summer vacation with us. It may sound odd for someone who writes a travel blog, but we are excited about having a “stay-cation”. Now that she is in the working world, Caroline only has a limited amount of time off to spend at home and she is thrilled to have over a week here. It is also very rare that she is home without one of her brothers here – she can’t wait to be an only child for a week! We are planning to play tourist in the city, try out some new delicious looking recipes and spend some time just relaxing by the pool.
Recently, I have really enjoyed reading about my fellow bloggers’ summer travels, so I thought it would be fun to take you along on a few virtual trips through their posts:

I am amazed at how many of you already have children heading back to school…I am definitely NOT ready for summer to end. I hope we still have a few more weeks to enjoy the sunshine.
Have a delightful weekend…wherever you may be wandering!

I thoroughly enjoyed Leslie's visit to San Juan Islands. Thanks for the other links which I'm sure to enjoy. You may have guessed from my blog, travel is one of my passions!

Darling Sandy, thank you for coming over! ENJOY YOUR DAY! It is gorgeous out here right now!! Anita
Gosh what lovely places! I hope you are enjoying your time with your daughter! How nice to be the only child for a week! I bet she planned it that way 😉 I can't wait for school to start…I'm way more efficient without my little one hanging on my every word! But yes, summer has been fabulous!
