The Woodsman and I both teach so we're fortunate enough to do a lot of traveling in the summer. Here are a few highlights...
PA
We made many trips to the farm this summer. They were all wonderful. I can't think of another place I love more. The best part about going home though is reconnecting with my wonderful extended family. They've made me who I am and I'm so thankful for them.

Maine:
Maine is one of our all time favorite places. I went to Maine as a child, and then brought The Woodsman back for our Honeymoon. We returned on our 5th anniversary, and then returned this year for our 15th. It was wonderful to share this beautiful north country with our kids.
