Passport....Smashport...and also hiking.

One of our goals is to drive through Canada to visit Alaska. Now with the new travel laws you need a passport before you even think about visiting Canada.

Last week EW and I went to update our passports. Ours were well over ten years old and mine still had my maiden name Mahoney on it. Good thing we had Gray's birth certificate and SSN with us as well, who knew a 4 month old needed a passport? The clerk was really nice and even took Gray's passport picture....which sounds much easier then it actually was. Its hard to get a 4 month old to stay still and look forward for at least 5 seconds.

So now that we can scratch passports off our list we have been looking at other things to accomplish before June. One of them was to visit Red Rock Canyon, which is kind of sad it took us six years of living in Las Vegas to finally accomplish. It was actually a really nice hike, and there was still snow on the ground. We took the puppy-girls along and they loved it. There was a slight altercation with a White German Shepherd and a Chihuahua who had a Napoleon complex, but everyone made it out alive. The scenic drive thru Red Rock was gorgeous, and it made me a little sad that we never went to visit sooner :(
