In the Land of the Midnight Sun

Hello all! We took a much needed family trip this week to Seattle and Vancouver. It was my first time to Vancouver but certainly won't be the last! Frank had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed his first trip out of the country.

We also took a quick and beautiful drive to Horseshoe Bay. In Seattle, we went to the Space Needle, Chihuly Glass Museum, the original Starbucks, Pike's Place Market and more. I was not ready to leave whatsoever. Here are our Vancouver photos with Seattle on the next post! :)
