We are back from our adventures, and what fun we had! The boys were terrific travellers, and it was such a joy to share it all together. Perry and I travelled quite a bit before having children, and though travelling looks quite different with little ones (and a pregnant mama too!) - we had such a wonderful time. The thrill of all the newness- the ocean, the language, the food- was so exciting for our little boys, and it was such a delight to watch them learn and engage and explore and to make new friends, and just dive head first (so to speak!) into in such a different world. It will be a good while before we'll be able to afford another trip like this, but the timing was perfect for this one- before entering the newborn realm again, and with the boys at such a terrific age for travelling. And we are inspired to start saving our pennies for an adventure sometime in the coming years.
The boys and I continued our trip after Perry had to head home for work, and we took a ferry boat over to see my sister's family and to love up the baby cousin for a few days. So lovely. These boys are going to make terrific big brothers (and this baby is going to have to get used to a lot of lovin' and noisy affection pretty quickly!)
and we are home now, settling back in, welcoming the spring that arrived while we were gone, nursing the colds we brought home with us, and just enjoying being home again.
It certainly looks like a glorious trip! I am so glad that you all enjoyed yourselves. I love seeing the photos of the sun and the ocean it has been so grey here of late!
ReplyDeleteThanks Di- we did have a grand time!
Deletewelcome home, Taisa and family! It must've been wonderful to get away- and wonderful to get home again! Now do you rest easy until baby comes? I hope you are doing well! You have been on my mind lately!
ReplyDeleteLove, Mel
Thanks Mel, yes, resting easy till the baby comes, as much as that is possible as a mama!

Wow! Awesome! That little baby is so cute!! Where did you guys go? Can't wait to "meet" your new little one! I won't say enough how following your blog reminds me how welcoming the season up North (we are currently in Jacksonville, Florida, working our way up the East Coast, back home in Quebec, Canada in June). We are actually planning to go back to the Yukon for a year starting next fall since we miss it (and its amazing people!) so much! Traveling is awesome, but in a way, quite lonely!
ReplyDeleteWere on the Baja Peninsula- so lovely. That is exciting news that you are moving back to the Yukon. I do love travelling, but I am a true homebody at heart- I love home most of all!
Deleteit was great seeing that brilliant color in your recent images, hope you are settling into wellness again. xo
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That weather! The water! That colourful food!
