Regrets

One of my greatest regrets was that I had not traveled more before my kids were born. We were paying off student loans and trying to buy a house. I never expected to be blessed with so many opportunities to travel as a stay-at-home mom. In the last two years, I have traveled more than in the 38 years prior.

I have taken two trips to Florida; a long weekend in Austin, TX; a rendezvous in Athens and Northern Greece; castles and churches in Germany; scuba diving in Mexico; and today I leave for France.

I only wish Polly were coming with us. My friend Polly died several years ago. I am privileged to take this trip in order to photograph her son's wedding in a small country village south of Paris.

Hopefully I will have photos and great travel stories soon...

I couldn't decide which thought-provoking quote to end this post with, so I chose two:

The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page.
--Saint Augustine

Never take a cross country trip with a kid who has just learned to whistle.
--John Deuel
