Hi - came over to visit from Sue/Artful Adventures and stayed to browse a while. You sound like one on-the-go kiddo! I'm jealous! Being an easterner, I haven't had enough time in the colorado/Arizona/New Mexico environs and was hoping maybe this year until prices for everything went through the roof. I have another blogger friend in England who went to Italy this year - there's another place I'd like to, ahem, "Rome" to. Great blog!
