We spent most of last week in IA.
It seems that the weather never cooperates on our vacations. Whenever we travel up north to the lakes - it's always cold...whenever we go. (50-60's)
When we went to Florida to get married in 2003, they had record frosts set. (50 degrees in Miami!) All the news coverage was about losing the orange crop. Luckily the powers that be pulled a 70 from somewhere for our actual wedding day.
John and I went to the Seattle area about 3 years ago for our first trip since Katie was born. We took in two wonderful days of Pearl Jam, but had to endure 116 degree heat. That's not heat index, that's actual temperature. Geesh it was warm - didn't even get below 90 at night. But that's what cold beer is for I guess.
We took Katie to Phoenix in 2006. Went to the Grand Canyon and visited on the day of their first seasonal snowfall...it was 20 degrees! Not hiking weather.
So why did we think that this would be any different? Because we are idiots that's why. :) Even though it wasn't warm enough to go swimming or camping, we still spent a lot of time visiting family. Here's some shots from last week.
Will and his cousin, Emily sporting matching cheeks. (Jeff's twins)
Katie and cousin Ethan. She was a bit more excited than Will.
A trip to Grandma Mary's is not complete until you sit on a tractor with Uncle Jim.
