David, Oskar and I are back from an epic family vacation following the USA Women's World Cup team in France. We were able to see US beat Chile and Sweden as they try for a repeat World Cup win. Along with 5 other families, we spent time in the south of France (Saux), Paris, and Normandy (Le Havre and Honfleur). David's blog is here.

Harpswell Get Away is coming to a close. This has been one of our favorite projects and a great opportunity to work with a wonderful team.
