 Greetings,
Wow! The final week(s) of school. What a
crazy time of year with more events per day then our calendars
can accomodate combined with quite the roller coaster of emotions.
Before long the new pace of summer will set in happily but parting
ways with a routine that has become second nature is no easy task
for all of us. Perhaps that is why the timing of Father's Day with
the end of school is so well placed. What better way to end one
phase and begin another than with a summer family event and men at a
grill!
Here's what's new this
month:

snag in those early days of the trip. Understanding a bit about jet
lag and why it occurs will help your family get on local time more
easily and prevent it from shortchanging too much of your trip.

to read some of my musing's on Father's Day - these holidays always
tap into my nostalgic, and somewhat sarcastic, sides!
Enjoy
the end of the school year, and a happy Father's Day to all the
wonderful fathers out there!
