We're back

The silence recently has not been due to a lack of interesting things to blog about, but it has been because we were in Europe for two weeks!!! OK, most of you probably know that already, but I still really enjoy saying it. We spent a few days in London, Paris and Istanbul, and the next few blogs will be dedicated to the highlights of each city.

Now, before you start to avoid our calls or turn down invites for dinner, we won't subject anyone to all of our pictures (there are about 2500 of them), so we'll just post the highlights here and Julie and I will look through the pictures as we plan our next adventure.

While we get organized, here are some quick highlights of each stop, with more to come in the next few days.

This one really doesn't need a caption:


And this is just one of the many very cool things that we did in Istanbul:


More to come!
