This June me and mom and Olivia got a chance to take one last mother, daughter trip and go see my cousin Jenna's wedding in DC. We had a blast and we stayed with my brother Jeremy and Jess which was really nice. They both work in DC so we could go see the sites and catch a ride back with them. The wedding was really nice. Jenna and her new husband are really cute together. I'm so glad we were able to make it. Olivia had a great time at seeing the animals in the museums and she loved the Zoo. I know a lot of people don't agree with the leash on a child but, let me tell you she is a fast runner. It was the only way we could keep track of her. With enough suckers on hand she had a sugar high and was ready to go. We will definately have to go back and take Garin. There is so much to see we still missed a couple places in the week we were there. Olivia had a great time playing with her uncle Jer and aunt Jess, they helped us out a lot; and mom she really really helped me and Olivia to make the journey to DC from AK.

This Memorial weekend the Price clan took a trip to Anchorage and Homer, AK. The Fuhriman side, went to the anchorage zoo and spent a extra day in Anchorage. We met everyone else in Homer the next day. We had a fun day at the beach with Wes, Casy, and Morgan. They caught some halibut and we went clamming the next day. It was defiantly a memorable trip. On the first day of fishing, half the family got seasick, but the rest caught their limit in Halibut. Then we went clamming with the a thousand other people on the beach and we only caught one clam. Olivia could careless, she loved playing in the sand and running through the water. As the tide came in Garin and I were stuck on a Island. The water came in fast and we were digging for clams we didn't notice it. We had to wade across. The same day we went fishing again for halibut. If you have ever been on the ocean, you know there are many different currents in deeper areas. Well the deeper areas is were the Halibut is. So we put down the anchor, when all of the sudden the boat was being pulled on it's own from the anchor in a really strong current; trying to pull the boat under. Thank goodness Wes had his knife and cut loose the anchor. It was really scary. It was really weird because the water was really calm and the sun was out, it was beautiful, but down below the current was going crazy. So it was a very memorable trip.

Venice, Italy (last day)
http://
This was our last day in Venice, on our way home. We went to all the museums we could. We took some pictures of the Dodges Palace of the outside, but we were not aloud to take any of the inside. To bad. It was really cool to see the history of Venice, and to see the same buildings in the 500 year old paintings still standing today. We took a tour through the old prison. It was really creepy to walk around inside the dungeon and to see the graffiti from the prisoners hundreds of years ago. Yea, justice was completely controlled by the catholic church back then.
We had a very romantic candle light dinner out on the street next to the water. There was local pianist, violinist, and singers throughout all the streets at night. I have to say though the food was not what you would think taste like. Lets just say you payed for the atmosphere.

Fun on the curise. It was so nice to always have a inexpensive place to stay and eat and eat and eat. The pool had a ice cream machine next to it which was really hard to resist. We had a great time.

Ephesus, Turkey
http://
Ephesus was amazing historical site. It was ancient roman city. This is were Apostle Paul taught. Cool huh; and it's in Turkey. Who knew. I have to say Turkey it self was not the greatest. The people are rude and pushy. Everywhere, they were in your face trying to get you to buy something. The City Ephesus was built all out of marble, because it was the most inexpensive. They had a heating system, plumbing, and theatre. It was very cool.

Santorini Greece
http://
Santorini, Greece was our favorite place. It was serene. It was beautiful. I would love to go back. It would be a great place for a honeymoon...or anniversary. Hopefully we can go back someday. I loved the blue doors and roofs and the white washed walls. Above all the feeling of the place was timeless. The locals were still using donkeys to go up the cliff. It was crazy to see houses built into the side of the cliff. Actually they were caves stacked on top of each other. Really nice caves. The people were very friendly.

Dubrovnik, Croatia
http://
This is Dubrovnik Croatia. The entire old town was surrounded by 50 ft city walls. It had a draw bridge into the city and surrounded by a moat. The city streets were paved with marble. Walking into the city was like stepping back into medieval times. The beach was beautiful, but the Adriatic sea was freezing! Walking off the cruise ship into Croatia was an interesting experience. The dock was guarded by men with machine guns. Croatia was part of the Soviet union with Russia up until the 90's; they claimed their Independence. It was a little scary going through security. Hoping they let you get back on the ship.
