Lots To Do

The last week and a half or so have been massive!
We had a lovely quiet Christmas at my grandparents place, although I was very sore because I tried snow boarding for the first time on Christmas Eve. We also tried tubing (toobing) which was heaps of fun! And we went on a sleigh ride which was a part of a play a couple of days after Christmas.
And I made a gingerbread house with a bit of mums help.

We finally moved on the the second part of our holiday a couple of days ago and we're currently in Seattle and we have been having a great time going around doing all the touristy things!
We went to the EMP Museum (Experience Music Project) which was full of awesome music and sci-fi memorabilia and other cool stuff! It was pretty much geek heaven!
We lined up for an hour and a half to go up the Space Needle which was pretty awesome because we got to watch the sunset. And at night we stood near the bottom of the Space Needle and watched the New Years fireworks go off from the top of it. Quite beautiful!

Today we wandered around the city and went on an underground tour learning the history of the streets of Seattle. It was really intriguing and our tour guide had a great sense of humour.
I was hoping to get some shopping done but being New Years Day there weren't any shops open.

We're on our way to LA tomorrow and have heaps of stuff planed for while we're there, such as Disney Land and Universal Studios!
It's so great to be experiencing all this but I'm wishing I could share it all with my friends, it's just so amazing and I miss you all so much!

Relaxed

The last few days have been fantastic!
We've been doing lots of skiing and spend heaps of our time up at the mountain.
We went to an ice-hockey game the other day, it was really cool to watch! It was such a great experience!

We also went ice-shoeing the other day which was a hilarious experience!
We went with some of my grandparents friends and their dog, it was really fun and the forest was just utterly beautiful! Truly one of the most beautiful places!

It truly is amazing being hear and I'm loving it so much, but I'm also missing everyone heaps!
I hope you're all have a fantastic too!

Silver Star

I've just been skiing in some of the best snow in the word up at Silver Star and now I'm sitting in a nice little cafe quite literally watching the snow fall outside! It's so magical! 
The slopes are really quite amazing and every one's telling me I'll be pro when I get back home. I don't think I'll like the icy snow in Melbourne much after the powder they have over here, it's brilliant! 

We spent all day yesterday driving around town going to "Thrift-stores" which was heaps of fun! I bought something in almost every shop we went into and I got good quality brand new ski/boarding pants that would have cost about $300 for $20! Very happy! 

I'm in total awe at the moment, it's just so amazing to be half way across the world and to be seeing so many things that I never could in Australia! 
It's weird to think that it's -14 degrees or something over here while you're all in 30 degree heat! I'm having snow fights while my friends are having water fights! 
It's just so unreal and I still can't believe how blessed I am to be on such an amazing adventure! 
Still missing you all so much, and if you're ever online on Facebook while I am, make sure you message me, I'd love to hear how you're going! 

Love you all! 

A Day In Vancouver!

So after 31 hours of traveling the last couple of days we finally got to Vancouver and spent the whole day yesterday traveling around the city! It was very cold but absolutely amazing!

We went to this cute little German Christmas Market where Mum and I ate potato Hurricanes (spiralled fried potatoes on sticks) and Dad had a brat worst sausage in a hot dog. It was really beautiful and I'm amazed at how big Christmas is over here! There are fairly lights on ever tree on every street, and even on some buildings and it's so weird because around about 4:00-4:30 pm it gets dark! 

We also went into heaps of awesome shops and I drooled over Converse and Doc Martins (Hopefully I might buy some when we get to America). 
Mum organised for us to go all over the city to look at places where scenes form some of Aidan's favourite TV shows were filmed, Stargate, Finge, Sliders and Battle Star Galactica etc. 
My favourite thing in the city was that you could turn the corner or walk 10m and THERE WAS ANOTHER STARBUCKS! I love Starbucks! 

(Me in Starbucks) 

We had a couple more flights today (your yesterday), and we're currently in Vernon where my Pa and his wife live. 
It's absolutely beautiful here, flying in it looked like a patchwork quilt! There's quite a bit of snow and it was actually snowing when we hopped off the plane! 
We'll go skiing in a couple of days but we have to get some ski gear first which should be fun.

If you're wanting to see more pictures I'm going to be posting them to Facebook regularly.
I already miss everyone so much! 

Off To The States

Okay so my family and I will be off to America in 8 days and I'm not going to have much contact with anyone, so to keep you all updated on how we're going I'm going to blog! 

I'll probably post something every couple of days and I'll post the link to FaceBook regularly! 

I'd love to hear your feedback! Gonna miss you all so much!
