Back From a LONG Summer Break!

Hi (once again) to all my blogging friends.  I haven't posted since mid-May when I set off on a long summer break.

My husband and I took a "road trip" and traveled through Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and Italy.  We had a BLAST enjoying the beer gardens in Munich, attending the opera in Vienna,  roaming the shoreline of Croatia, and visiting the numerous historical sites in Verona and the Italian alps.

Croatia's amazing Plitvice Lakes National Park

Stayed here for 5 days - Zadar, Croatia

Verona hill top... not an easy hike! 

We got back in time to wash our clothes and then head off for a bike trip across Colorado.  My husband rode his bike for 470 miles over the peaks of the Rockies.  I followed in the car (smart me!).  It was cool and beautiful, and I was lucky enough to miss the week of extreme heat here in Tucson (113 degrees)... YIKES!

Now it's back to work, blogging, and creating fun units and activities for the little ones!
