23 days of vacations!


June 14-23 Fly to NC. Travis was born in North Carolina and much of his extended family is still there. This week we have rented a beach house with all of Travis' immediate family for a reunion.

This is a picture of Travis and the girls playing with a "grand-daddy long-leg"? This thing was huge!


this is Travis and his siblings with their dad out in front of "The Homestead".



Sure girls, go a head and touch the Jelly fish!
There were tons of huge jelly fish washed up each day. When we went sea kyaking they were everywhere underneath us. It was pretty cool and helped you focus on not tipping the boat.






Home on June 23 but gone again June 25

June 25-June 28 Big Island Hawaii



June 28-July 4 Beautiful Maui
Something sad happened this year in Maui. I didn't take any pictures. After being there 5 years in a row, I have run out of things to take pictures of. Oh accept this, the resort offers complimentary Yoga each morning so Travis did Yoga. He loves it.

JULY 4! Ely Nevada.

We got off the plane at 7:30 am Friday July 4th and were in the car by 9:30 am to Ely, Nevada, where my Grandfather lives, for the fourth of July.


July 5-July 8 Farmington, UT
While we were in Hawaii I received news that my mom's mother in law passed away. She has been battling breast cancer for 15+ years now. We left from Ely to Farmington to celebrate my grandmother Margeret Elliott. Now I now she is actually my step- Grandmother and that I have only known her for only a year and a half but she is dear to my heart for the loving way that her and Max welcomed my mom and us kids into their family. We never felt indifferent. She and Max were great examples to us and our love is with them.

A jammed packed vacation! I always say you know a good vacation when you need a vacation from the vacation!

Glad you are back. My turn to repay the play date...so let me know what day works for you.

This looks like so much fun! I love the beach house idea for a family reunion. How is it that you get to go to Hawaii every year?

Wow... what a great time that sounds like!!! Which beach did you stay at? I love Nags Head and am dreaming of the day I can take Billy there.

Hold up harp dog!! You guys were in Farmington and didn't even let me take you to dinner! Out of all the places you visited, Farmington is the coolest. I mean... Lagoon. It doesn't get any better than that.
