#travelwithus #keepthedreamalive

Still waiting to hear when we can return to our home in #aixenprovence - had hoped for an update from France today, but no such luck :(

Evening shadows in the village - #waterford is a #northernvirginia treasure!

Dream #venice now, visit later #wewillreturn #travelwithus #travelmemories

Dream #provence now, visit later...#throwbackthursday to a sunny day in #cassis #wewillreturn #travelwithus

Dream #spain now, visit later...#travelmemories of a joyous celebration in #montserrat - join us when we return next spring! https://musicandmarkets.com/barcelona/

Yes, we couples are six feet apart, and having a fabulous time gathering for the first time this year- an apero in our garden ;)

#cassis - One of those places to which we're longing to return - we always fit in a visit to this seaside charmer whenever we're at home in Aix. I wonder if the water jousters will mount those platforms on the red and blue boats this summer for a tournament in the port?

The latest golden #whatsbloomingnow in #restonva - each day's walk brings new spring blooms #alittlebeautyeveryday

Dream the #amalficoast now, visit later ..and stroll through the gorgeous gardens of #villacimbrone in Ravello with us next April - https://musicandmarkets.com/amalfi-3/

Memories of a #wisteriahysteria stroll in #aixenprovence - a spring tradition #wewillreturn

Dream #prague now, visit later...blue hour views of #tynchurch as we remember past Prague Spring Festivals. In a few days the 2020 edition begins, all online this year, as never before. We look forward to returning to this magical city next spring! https://musicandmarkets.com/prague/

Dream #amsterdam now, visit later...I never tire of strolling along the canals, admiring the many unique and beautiful overdoors. We're eager to return to one of our favorite cities! #wewillreturn #wecandream #travelwithus

Dream #spain now, visit later - our favorite #churro spot in #girona - on our last trip (in March) before lockdown!

Dream #provence now, visit later - a year ago in the #poppyfields of the #luberon

What a gorgeous #wisteriahysteria surprise appeared when we took a different turn on our daily walk in #restonva!

Dream #spain now, visit later - #tastesofspain #foodiefriday

Dream #capri now, visit later...#travelmemories of last year's #wondersoftheamalficoast tour, #wecandream of 2021!

Heart-lifting views on our daily walks in #reston - rosy hues of #dogwood, the Virginia state tree

A yummy quarantine lunch in the greenhouse - prosciutto, avocado, basil and tomato open-face sandwich #foodiefriday

Just a few steps more down this picturesque lane and we would turn the corner towards Ambiance d'Aix, our much-loved home in #aixenprovence. For now, it's a fond remembrance...but #wewillreturn! #frenchhome

Spring beauty on our solitary morning walk #lakeannereston #beautifulmatters

#ThrowbackThursday is especially poignant today, isn't it, as we all postpone travel? Remembering where we were a year ago today, on that glorious #grandcanal of #venice and thankful that #wecandream and eagerly anticipate a future return!
