Summer Travel!

Happy July 1st everyone...and to my friends north of the border, HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!



Sorry I missed blogging last week, but I was sort of handed a curve ball in my life that I've been dealing with. Suffice it to say that when life tosses a ball at you like that, you can step away from the plate and let it sail by you or you can swing hard for the fences.

I've chosen to swing for the fences.

I'm currently on a six week road trip that is taking me all over our great nation attending conferences, doing book signings, visiting friends and family, and just seeing the great American countryside.

So far, I've been to Niagara Falls...



Then, I went up to the north woods of Wisconsin. Check out the deer and the sunset on the lake...





Spent a solemn moment at the tomb of Abraham Lincoln...



Saw (and went into and up to the top of) the St. Louis Arch...



And stood at the gate of Graceland late at night...



Still on the road with a lot more ahead of me. Today, I'm stopping at my alma mater, The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa before heading down to the gulf coast to visit my parents, do more book signings, and spend time at the beach.

Hope everyone is having an awesome summer, a spectacular Canada Day, and a very Happy Fourth of July this weekend!

Hugs,
Marley = )

Fantastic travelogue here, and I'm really enjoying the pictures! I've been to some of the spots myself, and others are on my list!

And yes, happy Canada day to our northern friends!
