Just because ... no. 5

For Joe, Lyn and Serge, summer adventures have always been a "just because..." - a chance to celebrate something-or-other - or nothing at all - simply taking a break from the routines of work schedules, school and home life.  This summer has leaned toward the celebration side - of acknowledgement and thanksgiving of Serge's acceptance to a doctoral program in Neuroscience, of Joe's inching towards the culmination of his doctoral program in Education, of Lyn and her brother Jamie's birthdays.  Our 'just because...' almost always involve going on trips. If an opportune time presents itself, we travel, be it near or far. This blog of pictures is our testament to the Summer of 2013! Just because.  Enjoy...
