Day 63 Seattle, WA

 

We're finally back home in beautiful Seattle after an incredible, two-month honeymoon! I felt like I needed some closure with this blog though so I decided to post our favorite memories from the trip!

Probably one of my favorite memories of the whole trip: hiking through this beautiful landscape at Glacier National Park when someone started singing "The hills are alive with the sound of music"...

Seeing this guy who looked just like Bryan Weed at Yellowstone!

Getting lost in the deserts of Wyoming and totally losing it for a second...





Exploring the vast, sand dunes at Badlands, pretending we were in Egypt.

Walking around Lake Harriet while Alex was wearing the backpack the wrong way, getting a lot of strange stares.

Laughing a lot with Inna in Chicago!

Getting sprayed by the Niagra Falls with cousins.


Seeing the New York skyline with breathtaking lighting at sunset.

Definitely one of our highlights of the trip!: hanging out with Alexa, Paul, Yan and Val in Boston! We miss them already!

Seeing the Amish! We want to move there! Temporarily..

Making Alex pose for forever so I could get the camera ready to take a picture of us in front of the Washington Monument. Thankfully a nice Asian man saved us a lot of frustration and took the picture for us!

Laughing about this picture of a guy at the Smithsonian who looks just like David Gureivich! 

Lots and lots of karaoke through out the whole trip!!!

 

Pristine, white sandy beaches and warm, tropical water in Panama City, FL! Not to mention a peeling forehead!  

  Experiencing the life and culture of New Orleans with my dad.

Camping at Grand Canyon!

Watching Alex get taken out by huge waves in Malibu.

Conversation of the day in San Fran:

Anja: Excuse me, do you mind taking our picture?

Older Lady: I'd love to! Anything in particular you'd like in the background?

Anja: Umm.. The Bridge.

Older Lady: Oh of course the bridge!

 

Attempting to take jumpy pictures in the Redwood Forests, but realizing that it was way too dark for the shutter speed to be fast enough...

And then finally, singing 'Home' by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, which has pretty much been the song of our trip, at the top of our lungs while driving through Renton and then pulling up into our driveway! Definitely the best way to end our adventure, because home really is wherever we are with each other...
