Travels...
With the end of August here - I've been in the classroom gearing up for the new school year. It has been refreshing to get back into a routine. The past few weeks have been amazing. I had time to relax - catch some fresh air - hang out with friends and family and travel to two of my favorite places...
To kick things off - I headed to the Boundary Waters with the regular gals and 2 special guests. Last year two amazing people were married and the gift we gave them was a trip to the Boundary Waters.
Sarah and AJ - Thank you for being amazing vacationers.
AJ - Thank you for bringing the hammock. I am sorry I did not share all that well.
Sarah (Biggs...Just doesn't seem right typing Sarah...) - I am still a little bitter about cribbage. I will continue to practice. At least I was able to beat you in the throwing star olympics.

The Crew.
Trying to keep my birthday candles up while the group hurried through the Happy Birthday song. (This cake was prepared over the fire and delicious.)
Sarah's big catch. AJ and I wish we had pictures to share...
It truly was a wonderful trip - true peace.
After getting back to town, I had a couple days to get my things together before heading to Georgia. Bea, Kevin, Amanda and I packed up and headed on a family vacation (I think the last time all us went on a vacation together - just the 4 of us - was 20 years ago...)

Nothing better than the sand between your toes and dolphins swimming in the ocean ahead of you...
Striking a pose on the bicycle built for two :). Please promise me you will rent one of these if you are ever near the beach - we had a blast biking around the island.
A family photo. Kev - are you smiling????
We had a great weekend together - but I think we all were ready to come home. A one bedroom condo - sharing the pull-out couch with my sis (She had a hard time staying on her side :)...) Although we were all ready to have our own space and comforts - it was still an amazing weekend.
We were able to lounge by the pool and ocean - see dolphins swimming in the wild - watch 5 hours of Lifetime movies - and have a "couple" cocktails.
Cheers to my family and thank you to Tim and Sara for everything!

Others Travels...
I love to explore new places and visit old. About a month ago I received this email with the attached picture.
Team Vogel goes to the Glacier National Park.
Deb shared this photo with me and wanted me to know Team Vogel goes everywhere with her.
If you are out and about - I would love to see more photos of Team Vogel travels.

Jeeping...
Winona was not a safe place last night...
Three ladies were out cruising in a jeep...

Top off - sun shining - shades on - guaranteed good time.
No one was injured in the taking of this photo.
These fine ladies purchased a jeep ride with Rach and a Pootza from the silent auction. Thank you to two wonderful ladies for a night full of fun and laughter (Sorry Kelly - Grandma 1 and 2 couldn't stay out til 11 pm).
Enjoying a Pootza and beverage. Clearly I was the only one in the wind...
... And More.
Before I sign off here - I wanted to share a quote I saw while up north...
...and send out a thank you to the kind person who sent me a card and massage certificate.
Last week I received an anonymous card - it was a father's day card with Happy Father's Day crossed out and in it's place Happy Friend's Day... This simple act truly made my day. So thank you friend!
I hope everyone has a relaxing and fun weekend.
Until next time - Cheers!
