Allison's trip to Madison and DC

with Jess in Madison

Hi Grandma & Poppy,
Jessica's new photos reminded me to put up some new ones too-- one more from Jess's visit to Santa Barbara, and a few from my visit to Madison last month for mom's birthday, and then to D.C. to meet Julia.

Santa Barbara

I missed the cherry blossoms in DC, but still got to see lots of flowering trees in the arboretum in Madison... and we had nice warm weather for all of mom's birthday visitors and celebrations.

Santa Barbara

These are long overdue, but here are a few good photos from my trip to Santa Barbara in December.

DC/Baltimore Trip

We went to Baltimore for a friend's wedding in March and then spent a few days with Anna in DC. Our trip was perfectly timed with the peak of the cherry blossoms!
