Travel

In a perfect world, I'd always have my bag packed and passport in my purse.  In my almost-perfect world, I get out and see the sites, near to home or far away, by car, train or plane, alone, with the husband or with all four kids.  Here's some of the places that we've enjoyed & our traveling tips.
