Work Hard, Play Hard has definitely summed up Tom's life lately! I could not be prouder of my husband and how hard he has been working to make the Warsaw office a success. Change is happening little by little (not as fast as my type-A husband would like....but its teaching him a good lesson in patience) and I am happy that he can start to see the results of all of his hard work. After a few grueling weeks at work Tom went to the southwest region of Poland last weekend for a team building outing with his entire team. They were also joined by the team's from CH Robinson Wroclaw and CH Robinson Budapest. They had the opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous Visla mountain region of Poland and spend time together outdoors. One of the things Tom enjoyed most was hangliding. He got to go up in the hanglider and fly over the mountains. I am glad I heard about it after he was safely back on the ground. ; )

While Tom was away....Charlie and I played too!
I am not sure if it's been mentioned in previous posts, but Tom and I live in the neighborhood that was the Old Jewish area. Wealthy Jewish people lived here prior to WWII and once the war started our neighborhood was the central location of the Warsaw Ghetto, where all of the Jews were forced to live. It is crazy cool to think of all of the history and people that have passed through our neighborhood in the past 60 years! This past weekend there was a great Jewish theater and music festival in our "front yard". All weekend long we could here awesome music in our apartment from the festival. Charlie and I spent Saturday afternoon walking around the festival and checking out the music, the people, the vendors and more! We had a great time and Charlie especially enjoyed the love and affection he got from various Poles at the festival. A big thanks to our friend Monica for the photos....we were enjoying ourselves so much that we didn't take any!
