    Dubrovnik

    We ended our time in Croatia in the city of Dubrovnik.  The city is surrounded by massive stone walls which you can walk completely around, and the inside is paved with large chunks of stone which look like they have been polished clean every morning!

    Plitvice Lakes

    We began our time in Croatia with a visit to these electric blue lakes.  Peppered with waterfalls and surrounded with tons of trails, you could easily spend a full couple days here!

    Normandy

    We had all seen the movies…and knew the history…but nothing would quite compare to seeing Normandy in person. It was really special to experience the area completely by ourselves.  Places that would normally be bursting with tour busses and visitors were silent. Parking lots were empty and everything was perfectly still and covered in a few inches of snow. It was surreal and humbling.

    Chicago

    Chicago just before Christmas is magical…and brisk to say the least!  When that wind came howling down Michigan Ave I feared that I might turn into a popsicle right where I stood.
