I wish I had a fabulous story to tell you about how I broke my foot, but I don’t.  I fell walking into the garage on a rainy day.  I see an orthopedic doctor today to find out exactly how long I will need to be off of it and whether or not it needs a cast.  One would think that if I were lounging around the house, I would have plenty of time to catch up on my blogging but instead I have been catching up on my travel blog reading.  Living vicariously as I sit on the couch!

For Travel Blogger Tuesday this week, I am going to share some of my favorite posts from this week and last:

Amie at Ciao Bambino shares her pictures of the Matterhorn with Photo Friday: The Many Faces of the Matterhorn.  Seeing the Matterhorn was in my top five on my “bucket list” and I got to fulfill it a few years ago.  I liked seeing the views of the Matterhorn through her eyes.

Amy at The Q Family Adventures shares her favorite stops along the BTS Skytrain in Bangkok with Bangkok with Kids: Family Friendly Stops along BTS Skytrain.  This is an area of the world I have yet to visit and am fascinated by it.  Bangkok wouldn’t have been on the top of my visit with kids list, but Amy shows it as a wonderful family friendly destination.

Mara at Mother of All Trips shares her experience on the London Eye with Mondays are for Dreaming: Views of London.  This was one of our favorite parts about our short 24 hour trip to London.  I know she was a little worried it would be too touristy so I was thrilled when I read she really enjoyed it!

I always love visiting Dominique over at Midwest Guest for her beautiful photographs and the history lessons about another area I haven’t been to.  Northern Michigan’s Port Oneida Rural Historic District revisited has gorgeous farm pictures and I love her photos of the Chicago Bean at Photo Friday: The Bean and Me in Chicago.

Kara, as ColoradoGal, shares a review of a book called Halfway to Each Other: How a Year in Italy Brought One Family Home.  Her review has made me add this book to the shopping list I am currently writing for my husband!

Mike Barish over at Gadling wrote an article called On long-term travel, snobbery & judgmental blogging.  While I don’t necessarily agree with everything in the post, I am glad that he said what I have wanted to say for a long time.  Just because I am traveling with my two kids does not make my travel any less important than if my husband and I had traveled the world before we settled down and had kids.  Watching my kids eyes light up when they meet Cinderella at Disneyworld for the first time, slide down the water slide in Gatlinburg, TN or zoom across the German countryside on their first train ride, to me, is way better than any travel my husband and I did pre-children.  It is travel for me and my family and that is what makes it right.
