The Midwest

I’ve mentioned several times on this same blog that in my opinion, The Midwest does not get the respect and love it surely deserves. You hear a lot about the East and West coasts but not much about the middle of the country. The center, the heartland of America. And I gotta say, the whole area has many fantastic spots to offer.
We went on a road trip last week from Wisconsin to Iowa and then south to Missouri and Kansas.
Loved every piece of it. Beautiful roads. Nice people. Great food. Cool spots all over.
I lived 10 years between both California and Oregon and I treasure in my heart the best memories from both places but there is an easiness and a kindness about the Midwest that at this point in my life I really enjoy and appreciate.

Some pictures of our road trip to share.
Have a good week, healthy and peaceful.

We toured at least 10 schools in the last 2 months.

It happened the same to me when I was looking for preschools for D. two years ago. I visited many, until I went to one that felt right to me instantly, it felt right in my heart. And that was how I felt yesterday morning when we visited the very last school in our list to tour, it felt right. I liked the school, thank God, I liked

Copenhagen

I've had this city in my mind for a while. Never been there, but every time I research about trips to Europe I bump into a Copenhagen article, link, photo and I get more and more interested and excited about this city. In pictures it just looks like the kind of city I like. Here my inspiration for today Friday, a few photos of gorgeous Copenhagen. All photos by: littlescandinavian.com  (one of my favorite blogs). Happy weekend. Healthy and peaceful.
