Seattle

Seattle quick trip before heading to Canada.

Let's see.  We decided to head over to the Children's Museum.  Jada wanted to stay all day, and we practically did!  She loved it.  Other than that we had a late dinner with everybody and headed to bed.  The ladies went out shopping without men or babies.  It was the best part of the trip ;) 

Utah-Seattle-Canada Trip

A lot of catching up to do! Is it just me or is it starting to become obnoxious to have to blog? This might be me winding down.  Maybe I will end when we Graduate. We will see.  Until then.  Here was our latest adventures.  Let us rewind to Christmas time!  We took a trip to Utah for a week and flew to Seattle for a few days then hopped onto a boat to Victoria BC Canada.  There we stayed for a few days, boated back to Seattle and enjoyed the rest of our vacation in Utah until we were forced to return to Milwaukee once again.  Might I add to one of the WORST winters I have ever experienced!  It has been AT LEAST -25- -40 since we've been back.  All day, everyday.  We have taken hibernation to the next level.

So...picture time
