East & North Europe

We made a trip through eastern and northern Europe. We drove from Germany through Poland, Lithuania, Latvia (where we visited Justin & family), Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Denmark in 8 days. We drove 2,986 miles and took 3 car ferries.

Berlin

We stopped in Berlin on our way home and did a little sightseeing. Berlin is a big city with lots of see and do. We will definitely go there again.

New York

We had a great girls weekend in New York for Erica's birthday. There was me, Erica, Cassandra, Gloria, Alice, Tasia, Cheryl and Cassandra. We rode the cute red double decker tour bus to do a bit of sightseeing. We also saw The Color Purple play with Fantasia. It was the best weekend ever!
