We had a fun summer vacation in the United States last August. We stayed there for more than three weeks and we had a BLAST! It was our first time setting foot in the US. I wasn't just excited for the kids but also for hubby and I. It was nice being with family, going to places I've only seen on TV, seeing the cousins bond with each other, shopping, etc.

Okay, enough of the good stuff! Hubby and I didn't enjoy the traffic, long walks, long travel hours haha! We live in a small city here in Alberta where everything is within arm's reach. Just kidding! We are just lazy peeps that's why. We were in awe of the whole experience, bad or good. And we will be forever thankful for the generosity of my bro/sis in law.

We had so much fun eating, hubby and I gained 10-15lbs during our vacation. We ate like there's no tomorrow, rice from breakfast to midnight snack not to mention the street food, fast food and buffet! Who cares! Life is about enjoying the things we love and eating is number 1 on my list :)

One of the most memorable places we went was the Statue of Liberty. The kids were very excited to see this landmark, ride the ferry and get those cool souvenir sunglasses. Our Washington trip abruptly ended because of heavy rains but we got to see beautiful landmarks as well.
We still have hundreds (maybe thousands?) of pictures to remind us of our wonderful summer vacation. I wish we can do this every year. Again, huge thanks to the people who made our stay memorable. We miss you guys! Til' we meet again :D
