My love affair with travel began during my 11th birthday lunch at our local French restaurant. As I blew out the candles on the cream puffs, the chef came over and whispered in my ear tales of seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time and strolling along the Champs-Elysees. It has taken me a few decades, but I am finally fulfilling those childhood dreams. My free time is usually spent planning, researching, and dreaming about our next travel adventure. I already have our next trip planned. Rebecca and I will be celebrating her high school graduation with the My Way 14 days in Europe tour!
Who We Left At Home
The hardest part of our travel adventures is leaving our black lab at home! On the trip we were constantly asking people if we could pet their dogs to get a little canine love. Luckily, our Lab adores going to the "puppy spa" for her own vacation.
Donna (My mom)
Donna recently retired from her beloved position of English professor. One of Donna's hobbies is painting. She travels with the tiniest water color set, so she can use her free time to paint and capture the beautiful countryside.
Rebecca (My daughter)
Rebecca is a seasoned Rick Steves tour member having taken SEVEN tours with us. This summer however, she did not join us on the tour. Instead she participated in a summer study abroad program in Oxford, England. She had an AMAZING summer! She did join us for the post tour fun in Oxford and then our long weekend in London before we all headed home!
