San Diego - Jon, Angela, Jacob, Josh, David and Grandma
At the end of May and the last week before school ended (technically the beginning of summer vacation!) we all took a road trip to San Diego to see the Padres play the Mariners. What a blast! We took in the sights/sounds of the city in between the games. We even had time to meet up with Chris and Julianna for an outing at the Children's Museum. What fun! For some reason, I forgot to take photos or I misplaced them somewhere on the camera. Hmmm.Since it was on the same weekend as the last soccer game of the season for the kids, we'll post a pic of the boys in their soccer uniforms and call it good.
Alaska - Angela
In June, work required a 9-day trip to Alaska for meetings and activities. It was the culmination of a lot of hard work and planning. In between the exhaustion and long hours, there was actually a few glorious moments of fun, enjoying the outdoors and amazing scenery that Alaska has to offer.

U.S. Coast Guard Demo of an Ocean Rescue (almost the coolest thing ever - see next photo)
Humpback Whale Feeding and Singing (the coolest thing. ever.)
Fishing Near Pirates Cove
(the kids thought this was the coolest story ever, because of the pirates, even though there wern't really any there)

King Salmon Caught By Angela. No joke! This was amazing.

A Beautiful Sunset - At 10:45 p.m. in Alaska
Seattle - Jon and Angela
The benefit to traveling to Alaska is that you have to stop in Seattle to change planes. We decided to meet up there (with no kids!) and spend three days hanging out before we took the planes home. We pretty much just ate our way through Seattle - both at Pikes Place and at the Seattle Mariners games (best stadium concession food around, hands down). We saw Rob and Rachel at lunch and wished we lived closer to the northwest to hang out with them more.
On our way to the city from the airport - light rail style! (notice Safeco in the background)
Seeing the sights - thanks for the cool cityscape, Rachel!
