Means we are back from your awesome family "vacation".



The only reason vacation looks like "vacation" is because the purpose in going was to remember and grant the final wish of a very loved Michael, dad, husband, grandpa Coleman. I plan on posting more of that in a few days.

We started off flying to San Diego, my new 1st choice for our next vacation. Although we were only there for a few hours, it was enough to leave me wanting more. Moses was over the moon with the airplanes and let the whole terminal now just how much

Next stop, Seattle! I miss this city!! We then took a car ride to Grandma Coleman's for the night. Early the next morning we drove to Anacortes to catch the Friday Harbor Ferry. If any of you readers have been to the San Juan Islands, you will believe me when I say they are so beautiful. It is such a relaxing place to be. And it never hurts when the house you are staying in has this view. Uncle Bob and Aunt Jodi are the best hosts on the planet. Thank you so much for having us!!

The Ferry rides, with that fresh Puget Sound air is just so awesome. And it feels like home to me.


The next day we ferried to Orcas Island...incredible. We hung out there for most of the day and enjoyed some much needed Pajimula-Cole hanging out time. The following pics are of the awesome Pajimula's; Sabrina, Archie, Ashley, Trenton and of course Grandma Coleman. It was really fun to see them again!

The next day we went back to the "main land" and headed to Seattle where we were meeting my parents. my neice. Brenna, who is Bella's age and just the best of cousins with little Belle and my wickedly cool DJ brother David.









The next day, we had to leave...boo. The only issue with this vacation occured on our way home on Monday. Moses was just ready to be done with any confining space and was quite a bear on the plane rideS home. Turns out, our route was from Seattle to Long Beach, Long Beach to Las Vegas, Las Vegas to SLC...with a 2 year old, its not so fun.

We are happy to be back, but missing family already! We couldnt have made the trip without Grandma Coleman and Grandma/pa Hatch. We both love and appreciate you so so much, thank you for the awesome time together!!
