Rocky Mountains after we had a short layover in Denver:
Here are some white fluffy clouds. They're just pretty, so you get to enjoy them too:
I was able to spot the Cirque du Soleil tents while we were landing in San Jose:
An amusement park Doug pointed out:
Then we had a 2+ hour drive home from the airport. We saw some ships on our journey:
I'm so thankful we were able to go to Minnesota, especially on such short notice. It really was a lot of fun although we went there to remember and celebrate my grandma. I'm so grateful for my uncle Rob and my aunt Judy. They opened their home to us and were our taxi as we travelled from location to location. They even took us over to my grandma's apartment where I was able to get a few things to remember my grandma. I say "few" loosely because we ended up getting an extra suitcase from my aunt Judy. Here are some of the things we brought home (I still can't believe we didn't break anything):
The pink, glass boot on the very right of the picture and the tea cup and saucer were very special because they were my great grandma's and grandma's. Each granddaughter got one. The clear, painted glasses were painted for my grandma by her best friend Rosie. And the milk white glass was some of my grandma's favorite pieces.

I've had the butterfly next to it for about 10 years and was just thrilled to have a butterfly from my grandma's collection that matches mine so well; not to mention the butterfly is resting on my favorite flowers too.
Doug was able to learn A LOT about that side of my family and says he understands more about me too. I kept teasing Doug, "Too bad you didn't know all this BEFORE we got married huh??!!" We also laughed a lot about how many times we heard, "Oh, yah, sure." And we even started saying it. Doug was trying to perfect his Minnesotan accent while he was there.
We were totally exhausted when we got home. We brought our luggage inside and then fell asleep pretty quickly.
