San Juan Island Adventure

At the end of July I had the amazing opportunity to travel around the San Juan Islands with my Uncle Bart, Aunt Berta and fun cousins.  They were doing a family biking trip and I came along as the designated driver.  It was a dream of mine to travel to these beautiful islands just a few hours north of Seattle.  Here are a few of my favorite photos from the long weekend:

Yep, thats me with a glass of wine, some sunshine and a magazine...doesn't get much better than that!

Looking Back to Summer

Oh dear friends...I have realized that I am not a blogger these days!  I have been meaning to post these photos for many months now.  Here is a glimpse of some fun summer memories:

June was filled with joy and new adventures as I moved to a great apartment with my friend Erin, in the neighborhood of Ballard...celebrated my 33rd birthday with close friends...and became an aunt for the 6th time, welcoming Caleb Thomas to the family!
