Back to the Daily Grind There's nothing that jolts you back to reality after a joyous, relaxing weekend than getting up at the crack of dawn to make snacks and lunches for school. Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom and I love feeding my children, but at 6:30 every day, it is not high on my hit parade. Anyway, it will be nice to have some quiet time while everyone is off to school and work today! We are working on a number of fun articles for you! Today, don't forget to read Part 3 of Elisa & Tanya's New Mexico Road Trip. We are setting up a page specifically for all the segments of this blog, so you can follow along with our trip planning progress. I'm personally looking forward to hearing all about Tanya's weekend in San Francisco and Mendocino, CA. From her daily blogs the past few days, it sounds like she had an absolute blast!! (So jealous!!! - I love Northern California). This week, I will be posting Part 2 of Elisa's trip to Picturesque Prague and Imperial Vienna, which will feature our arrival and stay in Vienna! And of course, our usual weekly features, Throwback Thursdays and Foodie Fridays will cap off the week. So, stay tuned! I came across this quote this weekend and thought it was appropriate considering the way Tanya and I spent our weekends - pretty much in our own backyards! -E "The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land. ~G.K. Chesterton | I'm baaaack!Wow! Don'tcha just love it when holidays fall on Monday and the new week starts on Tuesday? Not only do you get an extra day to your weekend, but...you are already one day closer to next weekend?! SCORE! My weekend was just Fabulous! Can't wait to tell you all about it!!! I definitely see a repeat for Memorial Day Weekend next year! Now that I'm back, I've gots lots of reading, writing, and picture posting to do this week for Travelin' Cousins...Keep an eye out for all the new additions! We are also planning to submit some of our blog stories on several other travel blog sites as well as send in others as submittals to a few different Travel Magazines that are both online as well as in Print Publication! How exciting huh?!? Elisa already has an original guest blog that she put together for another very popular site, and I too will be writing one this week to send in to be published as well!
