We're Home!

Well, we made it back safe and sound from Canada. We had a fabulous vacation, filled with visits with family, trips to the beach, and eating out! The weather started out kinda cold (the 60's) but warmed up to the high 80's by the end of the trip. We couldn't have asked for a better time! I'll post more soon with some pictures, however right now Mommy can't find the card reader to download the photos. So the details of the vacation I'll leave to the next post.

The vacation was fabuolous but the travelling itself was a little wearisome, particularly for Mommy carrying those babies in her tummy. We flew into Seattle (cheaper), rented a car and drove the rest of the way north. On the way up it was fairly uneventful, except Daddy had a run in with a Washington State Trooper and now has to pay a speeding ticket. Oops! I guess you can't drive like a Californian in Washington! But the trip home was exhausting. We decided to take the "scenic route" down the Olympic Pennisula, which apparently should have only been a 2.5 hour drive. It ended up taking 4 hours because of all the summer road construction! We must have been stopped at 15 different road improvement projects. Needless to say we JUST made our flight and literally had to run through the airport to the gate and onto the plane. Whew!

It was a great time, but we're happy to be home in our own comfy beds. More details and photos to follow...

Glad that you had such a fun time! A stay at "home" always refuels the batteries. Craig is going to Orifino (sp?) for his bye-week adventure. He loved it last year- lots of surfing, camping, hiking, and beautiful scenery! I am sure that you enjoyed it as well. Take care! We love you!
