Emily's Junior Prom

Emily looked stunning and had a blast at her junior prom this year with her fun group of friends! Where has all the time gone!?!?!?!?

Spring is here

Spring is off to a strong start here, with celebrating Emily's birthday, some Lego building with my boy, backyard seafood boils, and even a tour at NC State for the neighborhood touring juniors, prepared for and delivered by our very own! We're excited to see what else this season has in store for us!

Abby's quick trip to Seattle

The end of Brian's 3-week long work trip took him to Seattle, and Abby was able to fly out and meet up with him for the weekend. She had a great time traveling on her own, but an even better time sightseeing with him! They only had 2 days to see it all, so they started at Pike Place Market...

Of course they had to stop at the original Starbucks for some coffee...

They got tickets to go to the top of the Space Needle, where they saw the whole city from the glass-bottom walkways... Abby was NOT thrilled about this part of the trip... She's not the biggest fan of heights!

They dined at Din Tai Fung- a famous place for amazing dumplings...

They had fun exploring the Chihuly Garden Glass museum...

The Mo Pop museum was a fun stop...

And no trip is complete without a quick trip to the aquarium...

The Seattle Underground was a fun tour where they were able to see the city's original 1850s street level, which was abandoned and built over after the Great Fire of 1889.

They got to visit the famous gum wall, and Abby contributed to it's latest work of art!

It was a wonderful blitz of a trip, and a nice getaway for Abby on her own!

Our World Traveler

Brian is always off traveling some some cool, new place, and this time, his dream of going to China came true! He was pretty busy with work, but managed to see a few sites, experience a bit of their culture, and eat some VERY interesting food... I'm excited for the next international trip I can tag along on!

Apparently you can get cold beer or "regular" beer... in a plastic bag... 😮

This robot got on the elevator with him!
