A Grammy's Glimpse: January 2015

We just got back from our Seattle & Vancouver Trip. We went from 12/26/14 - 1/3/15. It was great to spend time with family and friends. It was also Addison's first plane ride & out of the country trip! She was easy and had lots of fun with the stewardess'. She was laughing on her first take off and sleeping on the landings :) We stayed with my Uncle Terry and Aunt Deb for the first 4 nights then drove up to Vancouver BC for 3 nights and then back to Terry & Deb's for one night. Here's our highlights from the trip. Enjoy.
