Hello friends!! It seems like such a long time since I last posted anything, and in a way I guess it has. Last week the boys and I went on a very long road trip, a 4250+ mile road trip and it was so much fun! I have so many pictures to share with you, but I promise I’ll share them in small doses. We traveled through North Dakota, up into Montana and Glacier National Park.
We stayed a very chilly night in Glacier National Park and then drove down into Kalispell, and into Cour d’Alene, Idaho. We made it to Seattle for the 4th of July and watched the fireworks over the harbor with my brother. (who Drew had met for the very first time) We then drove down to Cannon Beach, OR, where Skilos had the time of her life!!! I love this picture of her!
The next morning we drove into Portland to meet a college friend of mine who I haven’t seen in close to 20 years. We then made our way to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, and finally to Casper, Wyoming where my sister lives. My nephew and his daughter recently moved there and I got to meet my little grand-niece for the very first time. (her and I hit it right off!!)
After that we made our way into Wall, South Dakota for the last night of our camping vacation. I was a little sad to have to say good-bye to all my friends and family, but at the same time happy to be getting back to the store and into our daily routines. I will be sharing more pictures in the coming weeks (I believe I took about 600 of them) and sharing some of the funner details of the trip.
Thanks to Patty and Laura for watching the store for me so I could take a much needed vacation with my boys.
Now onto the 600 likes Facebook!! Can you believe it? It seems like just last week that we were celebrating 500 likes on Facebook. To celebrate 600 likes I’ll be giving away some 6- 1/2 yard cuts of some of the new solids we got in while I was vacationing. That’s 3 yards of beautiful solid fabric from Moda’s newest line Bella Solids and a few of the FreeSpirit Designer Solids.
It’s easy to win, all you have to do is leave a comment below letting us know you follow the store blog. That’s it – oh, and for extra entries you can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter, just be sure to leave separate comments below letting us know that. That’s it; easy peasy. I’ll leave this open for one week and then on Friday, July 22 I’ll randomly choose a winner using Random.org number generator to pick a winner.
Thanks everyone for being a fan of Sewtropolis!!
What a wonderful trip! It brings back memories of when my parents took all 5 of us children with them across the US for 2 weeks every summer. I don’t know how the did it! You’re making memories!
