Statues and Stories

Bonjour my friends!

I apologize for the delay in posting. I have been traveling, traveling, traveling!
For example:
Currently I am in Grand Junction.
Yesterday, I was in Baltimore, Maryland.
The day before, I was in Chincoteague, VA.
Three days before that, I was in Washington, DC.
A week before that, I was in Grand Junction.
A week before that, I was in Newport Beach, CA.

It has been delightful! A family reunion at the Pacific Ocean, and visiting with two dear friends near the Atlantic Ocean. I will tell you this: The Atlantic Ocean is indeed warmer.

Places of interest I have been recently:
Disneyland
Disney's California Adventure
Ikea (CA)
Universal Studios Hollywood
Arches National Park
Mount Vernon
The National Archives
The Mall in DC on the 4th of July (fireworks, baby!)
Lexington Market
The Kennedy Center
The National Gallery of Art
The Museum of American History
Ikea (MD)
The Folger Shakespeare Library
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
The National Catherdral
Delaware
Chincoteague, VA
Assoteague Island
The Washington, DC LDS Temple
and various airports.

I have been having a grand time, actually. I am not ready for school yet, so thank goodness I still have a few weeks. I did, however, have my students in mind on these trips. I got some materials for my classes at some of the museums in DC, and I am saving up some good stories to share with them about what I did on my summer vacation (including 1) goin' shootin' and 2) goin' clammin').

I will post some photos from these adventures at some point in time.
Till then, mon amis, bon vacance!
