Milder Moments: Day Seven: Nashville
http://mildermoments.blogspot.com/2015/07/day-seven-nashville.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. We started off today with breakfast at a yummy local coffee shop called the Frothy Monkey! Then we headed over to the Johnny Cash Museum! Mandy loves the song "Ring of Fire" and we knew she and the other kids would get a kick out of seeing the Cash collection. After the Cash Museum, we walked across the street to the home of the Goo Goo Cluster! Much fun was had here sampling and shopping. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon going in and out of lots of different shops!

Friday, July 10, 2015. Day Four: Benton Harbor to Lansing. This morning we had a late breakfast at an adorable restaurant in Benton Harbor. Then on the suggestion of a friend who grew up in Michigan, we headed to Saugatuck. It was a beautiful little town on the water. Lots of adorable little shops and restaurants. We bought several varieties of local handmade fudge. Walked along the harbor and checked out the yachts! The flowers here are gorgeous. The hydrangeas here are huge and in every color. I am acu...

http://mildermoments.blogspot.com/2015/07/disney-cruise-days-one-two.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Disney Cruise Days One and Two! It was there that Mandy found what she was most looking forward to, the 24 hour self-serve ice cream! This was awesome for keeping up with the kids during the week. Plus it has super cute Disney themed emojis! If you cruise Disney, do this! Call me and I will clue you in! During that first full day at sea, we sorted the gifts we had made by room and did our deliveries…. You would not believe what all people left for us and the kids during the week!

Milder Moments: Disney Cruise Day 4-Skagway
http://mildermoments.blogspot.com/2015/07/disney-cruise-day-4-skagway.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Disney Cruise Day 4-Skagway. We woke up in Skagway, Alaska this morning! This was BIG TIME for us since this is the 50th state that we have all 5 visited since 2006. We ate breakfast onboard and then headed into town early because we had an excursion planned for 11:30. The kids could not wait to step foot in to state #50. Since we weren't driving this trip we were afraid we wouldn't find a welcome sign, but much to everyone's excitement we did! We are all blessed by his wanderlust!

Milder Moments: Disney Cruise Day 3-Tracy Arm
http://mildermoments.blogspot.com/2015/07/disney-cruise-day-3-tracy-arm.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Disney Cruise Day 3-Tracy Arm. Our destination today was Tracy Arm. Tracy Arm is a fjord in the inside passage. The ship goes in, travels to the Sawyer glacier and hangs out for the most incredible viewing/watching of the glacier and then has to turn around and go back out. It takes about 2 hours to go in and then 2 hours out. So, while we were eating to get to the icy part of the fjord, we went to see few princesses…. The closer you get to the glacier, the bluer the water gets.

Milder Moments: July 18 & 19
http://mildermoments.blogspot.com/2015/07/july-18-19.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. July 18 and 19. We left Dallas on Saturday and flew to Seattle. We spent the day Sunday just hanging out revisiting some of our favorites from when we were here 2 years ago. We all agreed Pike Place market was where we wanted to go back. We went by the original Starbucks, but the line was around the corner so we just snapped another picture and got drinks at another Starbucks. Thomas found a movie store that stocked copies of hundreds of different movie scripts! The drive was going...

Milder Moments: Day Two: Springfield, Illinois to Green Bay, Wisconsin
http://mildermoments.blogspot.com/2015/07/day-two-springfield-illinois-to-green.html
Wednesday, July 08, 2015. Day Two: Springfield, Illinois to Green Bay, Wisconsin. We did great getting up, dressed, eating breakfast at the hotel and leaving on time. Then, 30 minutes after we left the hotel, almost to downtown, Scott’s phone rings. It was the hotel letting us know that housekeeping had found an ipad in the windowsill. Which I’m pretty sure worked in our favor. We walked in and asked for 5 tickets for the tour and was told we could be on the one that started in 15 minutes. In the kitchen...

Milder Moments: August 2012
http://mildermoments.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 03, 2012. This picture of Grace scares me.she's starting to look less and less like a kid. The water is crystal clear so Scott had them put their masks on and the went to look at the rocks underwater. This pic is a little disturbing, but I assure you she hasn't drowned! Random pics of the unbelievable view. Just a few tiny islands off the coastline! On the way back to the house we stopped at a much different beach called Sandy Beach. Here it is very rocky and breathtaking! Mahalo and Aloha,.
