Opening Day 2012

Thanks to Paige's amazing baby mohawk we were able to win tickets to the Mariner's Opening Night from All Star closer, Brandon League!

One of Brandt's Seahawk idols was sitting right behind us, Walter Jones!

Even though the M's lost we had a great time and will have a fun story to tell Paige one day!

Desert Canyon 2012

We had a great time in Eastern Washington this Spring Break spending time with Brandt's parents, Earl and Nancy.

Desert Canyon has a very unique miniature golf course that we enjoyed playing.

Paige was especially excited to get to spend some time with her Grandma and Grandpa Holden:

Baby Mohawk!

Sky City at the Needle

We had the pleasure of joining my sister, Jenny, and her husband, Andy, for dinner at the top of the Space Needle this past Saturday evening. The restaurant actually rotates 360 degrees every 47 minutes so you get to enjoy incredible panoramic views.

We had all been up to the top of the Space Needle as little kids but none of us as adults so it was a real treat (thank you Uncle Mike and Aunt Kim for the gift certificate!).

We made it to our seats just as the sun was setting over the Olympic Mountains:

Whistler, B.C. Day 2

Today was an amazing day that started with a kayak trip down the River of Golden Dreams (I'm not making this stuff up)

For dinner we had a delicious meal at Araxi. We had some wonderful food finishing with this tasty little raspberry-chocolate tort:

To cap our evening we stumbled upon a free concert in the Olympic Plaza featuring one of our favorite bands growing up...Barenaked Ladies!

Whistler, B.C. - Day 1

Today was a day full of sweaty palms, high blood pressure and adrenaline rushes as we decided to ride the Peak-2-Peak Gondola [the world's longest span (1.9 miles) and highest off the ground (1,430 feet)].

Getting up to the first peak was probably the least scary part:

We were then faced with the decision of whether or not to take the lift up to the peak of Whistler Mountain even though neither one of us is fond of heights:

We went for it! I kept my eyes closed most of the way up. On the way down Brandt shot this picture as the ski lift stopped not once, but twice! (the second time for at least 1 minute):

The ski lift up to Whistler Mountain was probably the scariest but the Peak-2-Peak Gondola from Whistler Mountain to Blackcomb Mountain was also not for the weak of heart:

Here's what 1400 feet off the ground in a little gondola looks like!

We enjoyed a delicious Prime Rib dinner on the top of Mount Whistler before posing for one last picture and heading back to our hotel for some rest and relaxation!
