here, there, and everywhere

Just wanted to give a quick update before I head back out West.

I spent last weekend in upstate New York visiting my mom's side of the family. I haven't been back in about 8 years and it was soo nice seeing everyone again: Gramsie, Aunt Stef, Uncle John, Uncle Eric, Cousin Ann, Greg and Laura, and my grandfather's grave which I haven't been to since he was buried over 9 years ago.

We went out to breakfast Saturday morning, went shopping and to Lake George during the day, and had a big steak dinner that night. On Sunday, my mom, cousin Ann, Uncle Eric and myself went to breakfast before we all went home (At the restaurant, an 8 year breast cancer survivor gave me a t-shirt with the pink ribbon on it. So cool!). The trip was much too short, but I hope to be able to visit again soon because I miss everyone already. Here's some pictures from this weekend:

In Lake George, NY with my 87 year old grandmother. (She has Alzheimer's and didn't know who I was. It's very sad but I'm glad I was able to see her again and spend some time with her.)

Cousin Ann and I

I miss him. :(

So, to add to my days of traveling....

My mom, sister and I are staying in Portland tonight. It's my last chance to see Georgie before I leave. Then my mom and I are flying to St. Paul tomorrow - Thursday we are driving to Salt Lake City, doing a little sight-seeing along the way:

Rapid City, South Dakota

Deadwood, South Dakota

Mount Rushmore.

We'll probably stay the night somewhere in Wyoming. But the plan is to be in SLC on Friday!! Yay!! Finally. :) I miss the mountains and especially, Alan. :)
