Amazing amazing time – can’t believe it’s been two weeks since our trip.  It was such a special time – so cool to be able to spend time with Camille, Liam and Maria.  We were able to do so much in such a short time….a bonding experience that none of us will soon forget, I am sure.

I didn’t even know I liked sea glass and now I am obsessed – I am forever trying to figure out how to get to  the beach again – any beach.  The sand, the surf and the sun were a welcome relief from Washingon wind and rain.  But the butterflies were one of the coolest experiences I have ever had.  They are migrating right now in the eucalyptus groves at Natural Bridges State Park and I have NEVER seen anything like it – thousands upon thousands of monarchs in their natural habitat.  REALLY special.

I am so thankful that we were able to go – and that the others in our family were gracious in “letting us” go!!
