Travel Travel Travel...

I have been on the go non-stop for quite some time it seems. I have been to Vermont, Northampton/Amherst, Mass., Baltimore, Michigan, Cape Cod, New Jersey, all in the last few months. Pretty much every weekend since the end of May I have been traveling somewhere, and its been a lot of fun.

I think this much be my year of travel, it seemed to start when I went to Alabama for my cousins wedding. I still have to look forward to hiking in the Adirondacks, going to Shawn's cousins wedding in South Carolina and of course my October trip to Italy. I am also planning on getting out to Chicago at some point this fall to see my uncle there.

In the spirit of travel, here are some quotes that I found:

“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” – Robert Louis Stevenson

“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life." – Jack Kerouac

“No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.” – Lin Yutang

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by.” – Robert Frost

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving

Good Quote

Since we are all anxious for winter to end, I feel like this is a good quote to remind us to enjoy the season before its over and take advantage of winter things before we can't do them anymore. I need to try to go skiing before the season is over!
