Ahhhh It's Good to Be Home...

We are now home, and we fully understand the saying, "Home Sweet Home".

We left NJ in June, and returned last night. We are tanned, rested, bi-lingual, and reconnected with our family from Sardinia, Italy. A grand trip to be sure.

My parents have a place in Sardinia, we stayed with them for the summer. We had beach days, hikes, picnics, and day trips galore. History: my mom and dad met in the early 60's while my father was in the Coast Guard. They married in 1965, and made their home in the US. I have been going back and forth to Sardinia all my life. It is a beautiful, wonderful place. I feel so blessed to have been able to share with my children, a part of childhood experiences that I had. It was fun to show off my children to my family, and to friends of my parents. The kids had a ball going to the beach, seeing fish, building in the sand and baking in the sun.

I had promised myself that I was going to blog consistently, but alas it was not to be. The Internet was on and off while we were there... and it was frustrating to say the least. I went days without going on-line... did I miss it? A bit, what I missed more was keeping up with my Blog Friends... I hope that no one felt that I was ignoring them... I will be catching up with you all soon!!

Ahhhh - the good life. It sounds like a wonderful experience for the whole family - grandparents, parents and kids. Welcome back. I hope everyone makes a smooth adjustment to back-to-school.

Giving up internet access is a small price to pay for the experience you and the kids had all summer. What a glorious way to spend their time off. Welcome home!
