Our Last Baby-Free Trip

Sam and I just got back from a week in Seattle and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for a family reunion on his side. It was so nice to have a whole week just to relax with family. Sam hasn't had a break from work since we moved here, and it was so good for him just to be able to play around with his family all week. We stayed up late playing games and woke up whenever we pleased. Our hotel was right on the lake, which is where we spent our afternoons. The weather was perfect, everyone in the family was able to make it, and other than flying and driving tons with an 8-month-pregnant belly, it was a great time.

A visit from my favorite sister!

Brooke earned her spot as my favorite sister, being the first one to visit Sam and I :) They were only here for a couple of days, but it was so much fun to be together again. We had such a good time swimming, snorkeling, going to Waikiki, and just hanging out and talking. I couldn't ask for a better big sister or brother-in-law. Brooke and I were laughing walking behind Cody and Sam in Waikiki, because they looked so much alike. Both same height, both shaved heads... to hide receding hairlines :), both in their plaid shorts talking about financial advising all night long (even though none of us are from Utah, Sam and Cody both graduated from Weber State and are financial advisers). The only hard thing about having family visit is that it makes you realize all over again how much you miss them!
