Naya and Jaydin looking at pictures with Grandma We just arrived last week in Seattle, WA after what Naya ‘affectionately’ calls our “Long long long long long long long long long… (take a breath)… long long long long long long long drive to Seattle!” We spent four 10-12 hour days driving- averaging 600 miles each […]
