Photography: A Drive Through St Charles #SuzukiMomFest

As I was test driving the Suzuki Kizashi and other Suzuki vehicles they brought to our Junk in the trunk scavenger hunt, I saw just how beautiful St Charles is. It’s Fall there and the leaves are changing colors and the sun was out. Here in the Pacific Northwest we have green all year round and clouds and rain in the fall. The sun just happens to be out today, but our photos don’t look like this.

St Charles

As I’m still putting together my thoughts on the event itself, which I LOVED, I wanted to share my photography. These shots were taken just from the hotel we stayed at.

From inside the cars I took these shots:

The Suzuki family includes the Equator Crew Cab, the Equator Extended Cab, the Grand Vitara, the Kizashi (which means Something’s Coming, I LOVE THAT) Sport, the SX4 AWD Crossover, and the Sx4 Sport Sedan. All Suzuki vehicles have AWD capabilities and are backed by America’s #1 Warranty- up to 100,000 miles with a 7-year Powertrain Limited Warranty. This warranty can be transferred to the next buyer and the next providing excellent resale value. Stay tuned there may be even more to come for now you can see more thoughts on Suzuki’s Kizashi..

 

Suzuki provided all of my transportation and fees while being away from my family.

Photography: A Walk Through Universal City Walk

Since I’m still trying to motivate myself to write reviews and get caught up, I thought I’d do a personal post. When I was on the Real Steel Press Junket I did a walk through of Universal City Walk. Andrew and I did this walk quite a few years ago, and I’m not exactly sure where all of those photos are but it sure does look different to me.

All of these photos were taken on a trip with DreamWorks when I did the Real Steel Press Junket. The Real Steel Red Carpet event took place on the Universal City Walk. It looked like a fantastic event. If you haven’t seen real Steel yet, it’s now in theaters and was number one in the box office last weekend. GO SEE IT!

Day Out With Thomas The Train In Snoqualmie WA

Day Out With Thomas the Train tours across America during the summer time making little one’s like mine smile and stare in awe as Thomas the Train takes the track

image

Snoqualmie Washington is home to the Northwest Railway Museum. We’ve been there a few times for the toddler train that they do during the summer time, this was our first time to go there to see Thomas. Miles was super excited. Even sitting in the train you could see his satisfaction knowing he was riding a train pulled by Thomas.

image

The view from the train was the Snoqualmie Falls from the back. Andrew and I have been to the falls a few times, doing the hike all the way down to the bottom of the falls and back up to the top is quite a jaunt. See it from the train is much more relaxing.

The train ride lasts about 25 minutes, we ride in one direction stop and then return in the opposite direction back to the train station. Your day out with Thomas also includes kids music from different performers, tattoos, picture opportunities with Thomas and with Sir Toppan Hat, and the kids were all afraid of him. There were four stations for the kids to visit and after visiting all four stations they received small prize. Both Miles and Zoe were quite excited to accomplish vising all four stations. 

Other Train Cars at the Northwest Railway Museum:

The Northwest Railway Museum was founded in 1957 as the Puget Sound Railway Historical Association. In September 1999 the name was formally changed to The Northwest Railway Museum. It is the largest and most comprehensive railway museum in Washington State. The Northwest Railway Museum is a non-profit corporation.

We received tickets to the Day Out With Thomas Event all opinions are our own.

The Zoo View

Day four in our life in photos is another Zoo Day. We love going to the zoo. Well of course there are animals at the Cougar Mountain Zoo that we went to over the weekend, but do all Zoos have this kind of view?

Living in the Pacific Northwest is a blessing and a curse. We have more rain than any person in the world could honestly desire, but it’s beautiful when the sun does come out. It’s green all year round, we have water, and the mountains are in the background. We are surrounded by mountains.
