We settled in at The Common Man’s Inn in Claremont, NH for the night. What an interesting industrial little town. We’re mainly staying just to sleep tonight and do Shane’s laundry. ;P. We’ll be on the road for the next several days to do college tours.
It felt sooooo good to have Shane back!!! Honestly, the last few days I was getting really antsy, nervous and just missed him so so much. Now we are together again! It seems like he had a great experience at Deerfoot Camp! Very rustic and rougher than what we expected with no running toilets and shower and all, but he had fun, made friends, learned how to build fire by hand, enjoyed fishing for the first time, and winning a lot of awards to name a few! But most importantly he said he felt the Holy Spirit in his heart when he was praising and that’s all I needed to hear. Thank you God for answering my prayers!!
I had my LIFE Bible study group ladies for an afternoon tea this afternoon. We met almost every week for 9 month and we resume next month. My LIFE support!
Croatia, you are a beautiful country and beautiful people. I love everything about this land, the ancient cities yet modern and vibrant atmosphere city vibe, not to mention breathtakingly beautiful Adriatic Sea and everything that comes with it. You have it all! This was the most luxurious, relaxing and yet also adventurous and educational vacation we took as a family. Thank you Cadence Travel Patrick for arranging everything for us! Thank you God for creating this amazing land and granting us to enjoy it! Your creativity truly never cease to amaze me.
So So sad to leave this place… we had such a wonderful time and made a lot of special memories to treasure forever! Thank you God for giving us this time for our family and keeping us safe and healthy! You are so good! We are sad but at the same time ver excited to go see Miles!!
Our ride was scheduled to come at 7 am to pick us up so the hotel arranged breakfast boxes to take with us along with 2 lattes! They packed us 16 croissants!! I was so impressed with their hospitality. I hope to be back here again one day!!
Came back to the hotel, and couldn’t resist diving into the cool water for the last night swim! Shane was my horse, and he purposely dragged me under with him!
God gifted us with yet another beautiful sunset for our last night. We enjoyed walking the beautifully landscaped promenade by the sea in the bay of Lapad.
We celebrated our last night in Croatia at this popular pizza joint called Papillon Pizzeria in Lapad neighborhood. We enjoyed walking around and really bonded with kids during the walk. The best part of this vacation, I have to say is the spending quality time with kids and each other. We’ve had so much time, just catching up on every detail of our lives… I’m going to really treasure every moment we had in this beautiful place.
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer & graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
