Judging by the weather, summer is pretty much over. Sadly! However, I did have a blast the last three months and wanted to commemorate them with this blog post. This summer wasn´t that awesome just because of the big trips. There was so much more to it. Let me provide some reasons why: We celebrated […]
Starting September right (Vancouver Island, Canada)
