Visit from Amanda

Our cousin Amanda from England made her second visit to us in 8 months this past week. She arrived on the 24th of July and left yesterday 31st. She stayed with Krissy in Bellingham. We had two family dinners in Kirkland on the night she arrived and on Wednesday 7/30. Krissy, Danielle and Amanda went up to Vancouver last Friday morning 7/25 and went to Stanley park. She helped Krissy out a ton with Danielle's party and she went camping with us. On Wednesday 7/30 Krissy took Amanda on the Ride the Duck tour of Seattle. Then we enjoyed our family dinner. She stayed the night in Snohomish with us and flew to California for her visit with my Aunt Wendy and her family. Amanda is taking an around the world trip. She started here in Seattle/Bellingham, next is California, then she will be going to visit our cousins in Hawaii for 5 days. She has a two day lay over in Fiji and then she goes to visit her cousins in New Zealand. Her final destination will be Sydney, Australia. She wants to make Sydney her permanent home and we all wish her the best and hopefully we will get the chance to visit her in the near future.

Amanda,
We all had such a great time with you. We all wish that you could come visit every year. We wish you the best of luck on your journey and can't wait to hear all about it and see the pictures! We already miss you!! Cheers!

Here are a few pictures from Wednesday night. I will add more of her visit when I get more pictures from Krissy and Amanda
All the girls with Amanda!
