Yes, this is a catch-up post. But January was a very busy month (beginning with two weeks of circulating sickness). And hey, I was able to tie it all together in a catchy post title. So be thoroughly impressed. And enjoy.We were excited to have Mom & Warren come visit in the middle of the month. Danny & Kaylee were thrilled to see Grandma & Grandpa.
For a Christmas gift, Matt & I let Mom & Warren choose a Seattle adventure. We spent the day downtown enjoying gorgeous views on a harbor cruise, lunch on the waterfront, and a close-up viewing of the famous Gum Wall near Pike Place market.
A few days later, we all ventured out to the Woodland Park Zoo, a membership we received as a Christmas gift from them. Despite the chilliness, it was a fabulous day. The animals were active . . . Danny & Kaylee included . . . and we got to see many close-up. My personal favorite? The Gorillas!
Grandma & Grandpa then took over parent duty while Matt and I were off to the Super G. Although we were not actually competing in the Olympics, we did ski the same mountain where the Super G was last year. Three days of incredible skiing, breathtaking views, uninterrupted wandering through Whistler Village, and delicious meals. We felt spoiled indeed!
So there you have it. The 'G's of January.

Clever way to tie your theme together with the letter "G"! You must have taught elementary school! :)
I have never heard of the gum wall before - it sounds a little gross, in my opinion (hey, another "g" word!). Where exactly is it located?
M - I'd never seen it before, and you're right. It's disgusting. But kind of cool to see anyway. And, is it art or not? There's some discussion for your class. :) When you are standing by the pig, across from the flying fish at PPM, there's a tiny stairway down to a theatre. The wall is in the same alley as the theatre.
We've had a busy 2011. "G"ood times! I love sharing adventures with you. Thanks for keeping track of all of this in your "G"orgeous blog!
