So Excited!

Saved from Google

I got news that my best friend is going to come to WA later this summer.

I seriously cannot contain my excitement.  It’s bursting!

I have a group of girls that are my best friends.  So I have a few that I consider best friends and girls who are my soul sisters….  but this one, we have a really special and unique bond.  We met on the pregnancy message boards on AOL way back in the day!  We were both due with babies March of 2002.  But neither of us made it to March.  She had the second baby in the group, and I had the third baby.   Hers was born in January, and mine was born in February … (the first baby was born in December.)

But my sister has been to WA twice now and one of my other best friends!  But holy crap I can’t  even contain my excitement.

I am going to go through all my stuff and start posting things from where we’ve been and what we’ve done as a family.   Old and new places.

Hopefully it’s enjoyable.  I believe I’ll past date them to when it happened also.  That way it’s in chronological order ….

The Journey Begins

I decided to start a blog to share the fun things we get to do.  At first I am going to share things – various things – that we have done in the past.   And hopefully soon, I’ll share things that we’re doing.  Depending on what it is …  we are going to create a rating system.

Living in the Seattle area … there is a TON of stuff to do.  Some free, some not so free, some things are things that everyone should do at least once in their life.

We’ll talk about the fun things, the great things, the food, the sights, the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Honest opinions.  All of them.  So come along on the ride

Something amazing happened today on Twitter ....  The internet was almost broke with cuteness ... the days of boring depressing news was interrupted by the ultimate tweet battle that everyone should love!

It all started when the National Zoo tweeted about their brand new (4 day old) gray seal pup

Thanks to a woman named Sarah Hill Darrow .... challenging the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center to top that

.....  and #ChallengeAccepted....  Virginia Aquarium posted this ....

 National Zoo came back with this adorable little orangutan.... asking Virginia Aquarium if they fold yet!?

 Of course Virginia Aquarium does not fold .... has no intention of EVER folding!

National Zoo is getting a bit bored.....

 So why not throw in some other Zoos!  Like the Virginia Zoo ....   and let me tell you - the gauntlet was way more than thrown ...

And the #CUTEANIMALTWEETOFF exploded all over twitter....

One word..........  Sloth....

..... I mean Sloths ...... OMG Sloths .......  My heart.... 

Red Panda .....  be still my heart..... 

Is this otter sucking on it's tail like a baby sucks it's thumb to go to sleep?   WINNER!!!! 

Honestly I think Nico and Santos could have their OWN contest ...  LOL

And I adore the fact that our first respondents in FUR showed up to represent!!!

SLOTHS!!!!!!

Even the Irwins at the Australian Zoo got into the mix!!

Have you ever seen a giraffe dancing?? Cuz this one certainly looks like it's dancing!!

Men in Uniform AND the dogs that fight for our freedom!!?  How does it get better??

Dude......  I mean, just......... Dude.  Can I take Kindi home?

Who knew Antarctica ... who knew....

But wait....  there's more......LOOK >>> HERE <<< (and a part three too!)
