Beautiful Spring Weather

I'm really loving every day we get to spend together. We have little dates at Barnes and Noble. We go to the children's museum and ride the 'choo choo', we hit the park a lot with friends. It's simply the best. I love seeing that little pointy finger and lately it's always in dirt or sand. It's so fascinating for her. 

Montreal

Our first trip to Montreal with Sophie. 18 months old been on 8 flights and not a single cry... I think we have been pretty lucky. She seems to love to travel. Fun week seeing Mike's family and visiting some old places. The church cathedral we got married in which once again took my breath away. It is so beautiful, full of angels everywhere. 

The Way I View Happiness

My 12 month project theme for March is the way I view happiness... well seeing this big smile and hearing squeals of excitement as she got higher and higher and went faster and faster is just pure happiness for both of us. This girl likes speed and pretty much everything challenging. Enough to give us a scare now and then.

To continue the loop, check out Emily's view on happiness. Enjoy!

DC/Maryland Part II

Maryland and DC weekend

We used to go on many short weekend getaways. A long time ago. This is the first one with Sophie and it was exciting seeing her reactions to things she's never seen before. We went to the Baltimore Aquarium which is really great. However I still really like the Vancouver aquarium because of the whales, dolphins and penguins. We also spent a good amount of time in DC, in Georgetown having lunch at this amazing place called Le Madeleine followed by some shopping and then off to the zoo where we walked for over an hour and saw a whooping 3 animals. Not the best day at the zoo, I can tell you that much.
Here's round 1 of some photos.

 
Looked in the back seat to see this - haha.

This is the only remaining ship from the attack on Pearl Harbor, feels pretty real just walking next to it.
