Retirement has started!!

After 31 years in public education, Mona retired at the end of the school year last week. Huzzah!!  We're kicking off her retirement festivities with a three-week trip to Croatia and Slovenia and some side trips thrown in.  To help us celebrate, Doug & Laura (Mona's brother and wife) are traveling with us the first two weeks in Croatia.  While we've traveled together before, this is the first time internationally -- and also the longest trip -- so we're very excited. 

Nyhavn neighborhood in Copenhagen

Our flight across the pond had a long stopover in Copenhagen, so we had time to leave the airport and take the metro into the city center.  It wasn't a lot of time, but we were able to see a couple of our favorite spots from when we visited Scandinavia for our 25th anniversary.   Mona and I have been to Croatia previously and are excited to return because we loved it so much.  For Doug and Laura, all the places we're traveling are new and Mona is excited to share some of her favorites.

It's going to be a fantastic start to retirement.  Croatia here we come!
