So Many Places, So Little Time
/We had a reunion tonight with the great group of homeschooling families that traveled along with us to Washington DC and New York back in May.
We were to bring along a dish for a potluck and our photos and scrapbooks from our trip.
Well, we are taking our sweet time getting that scrapbook done. (Darn those perfectionist genes!)
But we (the kids and I) pulled together a few photos and created a thank you to go into a scrapbook for our amazingly-knowledgeable-and-delightful-tour-operator-and-now-friend, Greg St. Jacques from P.A.C.E. Travel, who absolutely made the trip amazing for us.
Here are the pages...
Lucy and Jonathan collaborated with me on the journaling. Here's what we wrote:
We didn't know...
- that American history could be so interesting.
- that meeting World War II Veterans could be so memorable.
- that the Washington Monument looked so beautiful at sunset.
- that the Statue of Liberty is really in New Jersey.
- that we would cry at the Iwo Jima Memorial.
- that Capital Hill is really a hill.
- that standing in Times Square would exceed our expectations.
- that the Apollo spacecrafts were so small.
- that the view from the Washington Monument was breathtaking.
- that Gettysburg was such a well documented battle.
- that the view from the Top of the Rock would be so iconic.
- that we would fall in love with our amazing tour guide.
From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you, Greg.

And just because I like it and this is my blog and I can add whatever I want (but that's not important right now) here's a gratuitous photo of me & Eric from the Top of the Rock in all our dorky-An-Affair-To-Remember-glory. =D
