\nNeedless to say, it has been a long road trip (but the girls have done exceptionally well!). We’ve traveled over 1800 miles, and we will drive the final 200 miles to Seattle this Thursday. We enjoyed seeing relatives and friends in Colorado over the weekend, and we just arrived in eastern Washington this afternoon to spend a couple days with some of Noe’s family, including his mom, whom the girls call “Mama Mina”.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe are SO thrilled for the opportunity to be in the Northwest this summer, and we hope to see many friends and family!<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
