July and August 2012


These have been 2 very good months for us as a family. We managed to go on a 10 day road trip through the States, a weekend trip to Montreal and camping! In between, we had visits with cousins and friends. And of course, we went to the movies! Plus we enjoyed some days where we did nothing J

When there is about a 7 year gap between 2 children, it is challenging to plan fun family expeditions where both of them are happy. Usually, compromises are made and they become good learning experiences … at least, I’d like to believe that is the case!

The road trip involved visiting 3 cities in the States – Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York. It was supposed to be a history lesson for my first born. When we got back, he couldn’t wait to talk about the museums and the monuments he got to see. On the other hand, my little one made it a point to proclaim quite knowledgeably that the hotels were really good!

I don’t know how long I will have the pleasure of going on adventures with my children and share in the joy of being together … All I will say is I am glad I have these opportunities and I am going to make the most of them.
