It was all a blur

We had a great trip to Seattle for Em's wedding and Christmas with Audrey.

The star of the trip was WEATHER!

Seattle had a white Christmas beginning on the 11th. It remained cold (below freezing) until the 25th with an additional few inches every other day or so...so the snow stayed on the ground and on the roads. We guessed about 14 inches on the deck outside.

They just aren't prepared for it up there so we spent most of the time indoors.

With the hills you had to plan your parking. We trekked up the hills to the cars with decorations for the wedding, eats for the parties, and suitcases.


But Seattle is beautiful in white with all the tall trees.

Chicago was no bargain either. While we were gone we had a snow storm and bitter cold. We arrived to heavy fog and 50 degrees (and a driveway that was plowed in and frozen over) but we knew what to do...grab the suitcases and hike in.

It is 60 degrees in Chicago today with rain. Tonight it will be back below freezing.

Like I said. It was all a blur.
