Northern New Mexico

I went to New Mexico to visit my grandparents and uncle and it was so nice to spend some time with them. Normally I just got to my grandparents' house, but this time we met up in Northern New Mexico. We spent time in Santa Fe and on the Turquoise Trail from Santa Fe up to Toas where we saw a lot of old missions. I was impressed by the bright colors we saw everywhere and the beauty of the old structures.

Vancouver, BC with Kate

My friend Kate was in town for the summer and we decided it would be fun to drive up to Vancouver, BC for the weekend. The weather was beautiful and it was nice to get away, but oh my goodness is Vancouver expensive!! I stayed one night at Kate parent's and it was surprisingly comforting to be in a home and have her mom make us yummy dinner. They are such a great family and I'm so glad I've found them here.

Memorial Day Road Trip with Amy

Amy and I went up north and spent the day in Tacoma at the glass museum, walking around downtown Seattle and eating great food. We stayed over night in Seattle and the next day we ventured west to Roslyn where I got to see the town Northern Exposure (one of my favorite shows) was filmed and then we went on to Leavenworth (a very odd German themed town in Washington). It was nice to get out of town and spend time with Amy enjoying the pretty backdrop of drive. Oh yeah, and I got to watch Amy pump gas for the very first time in her life...she is from Oregon, but it is still weird/funny at the same time.

Male May Swissy Love

In April I went to Indiana & picked up Felon to come to Washington. He stayed at our house a few days and of course Gypsy loved him. On another weekend we went up to Hood River where Gypsy met her new love Rock. Basically, Gypsy just loves boys. Silly girl.

Kaiser Fun

I went and visited Janelle & Michael and all their pups in April. Janelle and had a great day in Chicago eating all day long and enjoying the beautiful weather. We spent some fun times with their friends and I just had an all around good time. Honestly, I really love Indiana...call me crazy.

Highlights of visit:

-Playing with all the Seneca dogs...I love them all. Cut-cut was especially cute. Kayak is a great bed buddy. Mr. Bow amazing. Well, I just think they're all great!

-Tripping in downtown Lafayette. Sounds dumb, but great memory.

-Wolf Park with Michael & Janelle

-Traderspoint Creamery with Liz & Janelle

-Taking tulip pictures with Janelle & Cut-Cut in Indy
