We still had one day before we would take my husband and son to the Salt Lake City airport and my daughter and I would continue on to California.  It was raining anyway, so we thought we&#8217;d spend the day in Salt Lake City at Temple Square.
It&#8217;s a beautiful section of the city with [...]]]></description>

By the time we&#8217;d seen the sights in beautiful Bavaria, we were ready to get to Carinthia, where our Austrian exchange student lived with her family.  Carinthia is in Southern Austria, right on the border of Italy, and we discovered it is the vacation destination for much of Europe.

We spent a day at Legoland in Gunzburg.

We slid down the double banister at Berchtesgaden Saltmine tunnels, wearing the traditional leather aprons used by miners long ago.

Although the mountainous terrain was tricky [...]]]></description>

Our first night was already booked in Colmar, at the border of Germany and across the French countryside, so we turned down the offered Mercedes upgrade with GPS and drove off in our rented Opel [...]]]></description>

In 2004, our family traveled to Europe to visit our wonderful foreign exchange student, Maria (wearing the hat), in Austria.  We ended up on a whirlwind 15-day tour of France, Germany, Austria and Italy, in a rented Opel sedan.  At that time, our kids were only ages 5 and 7, and this was [...]]]></description>

We enjoyed walks on the beach,

sunsets,

and climbing on the rocks at the south end of the beach.

Believe it or not, this is the moon over the Gulf at about 6 AM.  The sunrise had [...]]]></description>

A couple of years ago, we had just moved to the cabin.  Our home was a disaster, and we&#8217;d barely finished the addition before the snow flew.  As Christmas approached, I had little energy to even find the kitchen countertop, let alone decorate for the holidays.  Let&#8217;s just say [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we moved to our current school district two years ago, we bought a house there, without selling the previous one.  This meant we ended up with two mortgages &#8211; one humongous and the other on a 10-year track to payoff.  This necessitated the serious need for a budget.
We&#8217;ve always considered ourselves pretty [...]]]></description>

Our kids have been asking for a treehouse for years, and it never seemed to be the right time &#8211; or right place, since we kept moving.  But our small parcel across from our cabin [...]]]></description>
