You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.” ~Henry David Thoreau

What we love about MIMI's.....

Who couldn't resist a get-away before the summer ends to a 4 star B&B like this one! All we needed to do was to drive 13 plus hours and it was ours! Forgive us if we didn't visit you while we were there. It was too hard to leave this oasis. Thanks MOM for a much needed vacation!
When we asked our kids what they so badly wanted to do while we were in UT they gave us some strange answers....Atticus: play games on Mimi's phone, COZY: chase the cat.
So, along with those two here are some photos of SOME of the things we did.


Cleaning the pool was not a chore at all!!

Lovely!!


Chasing the goats!

Sleeping with the pink BOA!

more photos.....

playing in the indoor sandbox! YES, is that a tootsie roll?

ALKI beach YOGA w/ MIA








look who we found at the S.A.M.

The first free Thursdays each month are free at the S.A.M.(Seattle Art Museum). I never did check that off my "to do" list while we lived there until now.
My mom was always good at making sure we had some art appreciation in us even at a young age. I think I was in 4th grade when she drug me all over the MET in New York.
Now I am doing it to my kids.
But look who we got to SEE along with some cool art... AUNT MIA!!!!
(This was Scarlett & Mia's first time meeting.)
