I'm so excited about my two kids in college coming home this week for Thanksgiving, that I decided to run a picturre from the past.
Here are my kids ages 14, 12 and 10 on our European vacation (yes, it was very Chevy Chase) with one of the lions of Munich. I don't know if they still have them, but they had lions dressed in very designs in front of businesses.

The kids don't look like that, but you gotta love the swagger and confidence they were feeling her.

I didn't have any fabulous photo opportunities this week, so, I'll fall back on my usual: photos from trips to Europe.
In honor of Tucker's 16th birthday this week, here's a photo from 2006 when we visited Munich. The entire trip Tucker was in character, making us laugh.

That's the trip where we met Earl's Italian cousins in northern Italy and traveled on to Venice.
Here's a photo of a gondola so I can tell you the Tucker story.

Tucker really, really wanted a gondola ride. But it cost 98 Euros. I told him he should wait until he came back with a girlfriend or wife to enjoy a gondola ride. He's never let me forget it. I should have paid for the gondola ride. How often do you get to Venice? Now I'll have to save up my money and someday send him to Venice for his honeymoon.
