Hawaii.....

Since we are retiring in February, Hub recently took his last

business trip to Hawaii. I joined him at the end of the week and we then spent a week in Maui. It was perfect! To the right - dolphins spotted on our snorkeling trip................................................

Victoria

We took the ferry to Vancouver Island, spent the night in Victoria and visited Butchart Gardens. The Empress Hotel and the Parliament building were beautiful...

British Columbia

Hub and I took a travel trailer trip to British Columbia this past August. We visited Vancouver and Whistler. What a fabulous time...

We biked around Stanley Park and the seawall...

My Chicago visit....

I recently spent an awesome weekend in the Chicago area with my children and grandchildren. We enjoyed a few outdoor activities, but had fun with inside choices as well. In order of appearance.....

Kennedy and Lisa at mother/daughter karate

Jackson (who really doesn't like to have his picture taken, but he's growing up so fast you just have to see a photo).....

Yes.....it's me.....the turkey. I just couldn't resist. It was at the apple orchard where we ate apple donuts, picked apples & Kennedy rode the pony. Grandpa Hub needs to 'pony-up' the pony!

Poor Kennedy got attacked by a giant spider!!!!!!

Ziptrek

We just returlned from Whistler, BC where we 'Ziptreked' between Whistler and Blackomb mountains. We rode 5 ziplines and visited 4 treetop bridges. It really was a blast!
