Our summer adventure began by leaving Frank Hurt a week early, the same time as the students. We drove to Bellingham and stayed at the hotel by the Slo Pitch. We had snacks and went swimming. Step one: Get through the border was done. The next mission was to make it through the Seattle traffic. We also stopped off at Bellis Fair and got a new hat for Big Boy as he left his in grandma's basement before we left.
New Hat
In Seattle we stayed by the airport and found Angle Lake. It has a beach, BBQ spots, a play park, and a water park... and washrooms. I didn't have my suit on this time, because we thought it was just a water park, but next time, I am jumping in. Big Boy didn't want to go in without me.
We flew from Seattle to Charlotte and from Charlotte to Jacksonville. We got there late at night and I had school at White Oak the very next morning. We lost three hours during our travel but somehow, I still was able to wake up early and hit the Walmart for groceries / supplies for the week for the boys and I.
Back to the BEACH!

Back to Charlotte - Seattle - Jonny's birthday at the Crab Pot - Angle Lake - and HOME.
Nothing fancy here - just a few memories from the summer.
My birthday started on Wednesday when we were still in Vancouver. Jonny, Christian, and I went for a walk and chill. Jonathon got his hairs trimmed up and we sat at a couple of different city spots and enjoyed the different flavours and views. Somewhere along our travels we lost Sophie the giraffe and wish her well in her new life. I envision her with a cute little puppy squeaking happily. Christian's new favourite things to put in his mouth are water bottles.... and... Gatorade bottles... At one of our chill spots Jonny gave me my birthday presents... I scored! I also won ten bucks on crossword scratch and wins. It was a great day that started with swimming and ended with beers with G in Gastown. None of it was planned it just was one of those nice sunny I am leaving for Vegas on my birthday tomorrow days. The next morning came too soon. A hang over is never fun and it is even less fun with a baby that wakes up and is ready to go and is smiling at you an...
We knew that road tripping with a toddler wasn't going to be always pleasant - but we also knew that it would be way better than being on a plane - at least with our toddler. Christian is one and a half on this trip and just like last year he went through some new changes just to mess with us. Luckily, we are a powerful team and we were able to overcome these challenges … so far! Our journey started in Vancouver. We stopped at the skate park to drop off used shoes and decks. Some kid is going to be happy. (or bum?) Next stop: Langley! We had a visit with Grandma and Grandpa. I love this picture :-) Christian likes Grandpa's cars - watch out! Next stop: Seattle! Light rail to the Crab Pot. The Crab Pot - we made it and we ATE it! Christian is scoring with the toys on this trip. Now I really understand why I got new toys when my parents took us on road trips! Sunset Seattle squirm time. ...
