MEXICO

I have always wanted to take my Family to Mexico.  With Ryan about to embark on his mission we felt that now was a great time. We spent 5 days on the beautiful white sands of the Maya Riviera. I love the all inclusive resorts, where you can sit by the pool  order drinks and food and it does not cost you anything extra. 

Are we there yet?
YES!
Drink all around


OH they are so CUTE!!

Hey can you help me up on that Whale.


we all dressed up each night


ready set go

Do you know how cold the water is in a cave........VERY!

25th Anniversary

One by one each year flew by, since we both said “I do." We have 25 years of memories, from big events and and family trips, to simple daily pleasures. As we have travled through our years we have had some tearful times along life’s way, but more important we have has joys that can’t be measured. Our most amazing accomplishmet of our 25 years are our 3 incredible KIDS. One by one each year now gone, but the memories are ours they’re yours forever. A quarter Century together!  I am so blessed that the man of my dreams became the LOVE OF MY LIFE.


For our 25th we took a trip to the SAN JUAN Islands which are located off the cost of Washington State.
Imagine deep green forests. sparkling clear waters, silence broken only by birdsong. Then imagine the breath of  fresh island air and feel renewed, refreshed, revitalized, relaxed. Welcome to the San Juan Islands!


We started our journey in Seattle.  We has a few hours before our ferry ride to the island. We visited the Pikes Market Place.  It is a marked filled with all kind of different shops and vendors.










We took a  scenic ferry ride from the northwest Washington mainland to to our paradise for the adventurous. We came to enjoy the slow pace of the island and the exciting new experiences. We came to explore, enjoy, and dream.
 








We ziped through the trees on 8 different zip-liined.



Went Whale watching.....   Watch Carefully............Yes that is the Dorsal Fin of a Killer Whale.

Went sea kayaking.....

and took a little time for leisurely lounging by the lake...



If you every want a trip to remember toss your camera, some casual clothes, and comfortable walking shoes in your bag. Leave your cares behind and go.  P.S. the lodge does not even service breakfest until 8:00am.
