26 Pictures from 26 States (and 4 countries) in 2013


 As Adria turned 8 and Kalem turned 9 in 2013, we had the most exciting year ever as a family.

Adria's Surprise 8th Birthday Party





Kalem turned 9 in Chicago

It included almost every state on the Eastern seaboard plus 14 others thrown in (to include Hawaii), plus Canada, Switzerland, and Italy. 2013 started for us on a beach in FL, and ended for us (a few days short of 2014) on a beach in Hawaii - as opposite as you can get in the U.S. 
We are expert travelers in the making! Good training for what's coming this year and next - 
moving to New York, then to Indonesia!

Here are some highlights. Happy New Year!
