We’ve had a great, if quiet, week here in Florida. We’ve managed to book some fun future travel plans, talk to the kids and grandkids and other family, and enjoy this corner of the world.
This slice of Florida has been great this month. We’ve really enjoyed being able to take our daily walks in a beautiful place. People here are friendly and the resort is impeccably kept. Although we have had some decidedly COLD days, we escaped the bitterest of weather that much of the country endured this month. We sure can’t complain! It’s been really good to feel settle a bit so that we could get some things done. To everything there is a season, and this has been our season to be still. Soon, it will be our season to move and we’ll bring you all along on some new adventures!
We’re on our way back to Ohio/West Virginia to see Lauren and Bo and the kids, but we’re going slowly via Nashville and Dayton. We’ll check in next week from beautiful Marietta, Ohio!
Paradise
Happy October! We hope you are enjoying this beautiful time of year! Some people dream of paradise on a quiet tropical beach, listening to the surf with a drink in hand. Not this girl! Give me mountains, especially drenched in autumn color, bursting with new spring leaves, or covered in snow. We are spending October in one of our favorite places–Big Cottonwood Canyon just east of the Salt Lake Valley. We are loving the gorgeous golden aspen with the deep pine greens. Hiking is great and so is the smell of fresh forest! Nathan’s sister, Liz, and her husband, Christian, joined us one morning for a lovely hike through the woods. We got to experience a powerful thunderstorm and then a full day of snowfall. Our condo for the month is just right for us and we love having access to a pool, hot tubs, sauna, and workout facilities. We especially like that we can pop back to the valley to do some shopping or see family and friends. So far, so good!
Fun Family Time
We have had a lovely couple of weeks in Utah. We’ve been able to rest and recover from five months of travel, help Nathan’s mom at her house, and spend time with family.
Full Circle
Five months ago we flew to Rome from Utah. We had a summer of trying new places and experiences and revisiting old favorites and now we’re back where we started. Since we get the question a lot, I thought I would share some of our favorites from our travels in Europe this year.
I love that photo of the boardwalk through the wetlands! Beautiful!
