We Love to Travel

We love to find new places to visit. Here are some of our favorites!

 Both Luke's and my family came to visit us while we were living in Hawaii for one of Luke's school rotations. We did some island hopping and got out of rainy Hilo (where we were staying) to enjoy some sunshine.

 In Alaska (another rotation) the boys did some halibut fishing and my family did our best to find my grandpa a bear (otherwise he said the trip would be wasted :)) as we explored the glaciers and forest.

 My favorite place is Disneyland! Luke had never been there before and he was a good sport. I wore a princess crown and Luke wore an Indiana Jones hat to get into the magic.

The best value for a vacation could be a cruise. We learned to love them on our honeymoon and took our second to the Caribbean. We drove to Texas and stopped to see the San Antonio River walk before departing. We went swimming with the sting rays (kiss them for 7 years good luck!), and visited the ruins of Tulum.



While living in New Mexico we got to see a lot of Native American history. Our favorite were the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde. It was cool to actually go inside the ruins and explore. We were a little misled in a hike that we thought would be short but just kept going and going. It was pretty though! 

 

A lot of our vacations are tag-along trips with our parents. Here we are at the ruins of Chitchen Itza in Mexico with Luke's parents. We were sad they wouldn't let us climb to the top but it was so hot we might have passed out.

We get to drive by the beautiful Tetons and Teton National Park any time we go visit our families. Sometimes we stop to take a hike or try to find some of the wildlife. Here we are at Jenny Lake with Courtnie's family. We only stayed still just long enough for the picture while mosquitoes were eating us alive then ran for it.

What a beautiful and interesting world we live in! Hope we can explore more of it.
