Norman, Oklahoma, USA

Brennan and Christine were recently spotted by Brandy at The Sam Noble Museum of Natural History at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. The museum is named after the foundation started by Lloyd Noble, who was instrumental in educating and encouraging local area farmers and ranchers to practice land stewardship and resource conservation to help extend and improve the viability of Oklahoma farm land. The Nobel Museum is the one of nation’s finest university-based museums. Fifty thousand square feet of exhibit space includes five breathtaking galleries and exhibits that give visitors an in-depth tour of more than 4 billion years of Oklahoma’s fascinating natural history. The museum was founded in 1899 by an act of the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature, and opened the doors on its current state-of-the-art building in 2000. With more than 10 million objects and specimens in its collections, and 12 curators engaged in research projects around the world, the museum is a vital research division of the University of Oklahoma.

Berkshire County, Massachusetts, USA

The western most county of Massachusetts, the Berkshires is one of the premiere vacation spots for culture and outdoor adventures. The mountains offer great skiing in the winter, the spring and summer offer hikes in the mountains, swimming in the lakes and special events such as the summer music festival at Tanglewood. Autumn draws people from all over to see the beautiful foliage. The Berkshires is home to farmers and celebrities alike.

Brennan rented a small cottage for a few days this summer on a lake, teaching Christine how to swim and letting her play with other kids. And the family who helped hide her will never tell if she fell flat on her face while trying to water ski.

Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Brennan and Christine were recently spotted in one of the lookout points in Honolulu, Hawaii. Brennan wanted to get a really good view of the water from a high vantage point. On a clear day humpback whales can be spotted from one of the lookout points. A part of Brennan was hoping she would spot some dolphins along the way. Alas, the only dolphins to be seen were at Sea Life Park but she and Christine did not make it out there, though she did make a mental note that once they were reunited with Booth and Parker that they need to have a family vacation in Hawaii.

San Francisco, California, USA

Brennan & Christine were spotted on a boat for sale that was docked at the Berkeley Marina near San Francisco, California. Having had history with Sully, Brennan seriously contemplated sailing off to the Caribbean for a few months until Pelant is put behind bars and she’s no longer on America’s Most Wanted List. Opting not to buy a boat, Brennan ended up spending the rest of the day roaming around the Marina, enjoying a long walk along the trail and a picnic with Christine on the grass. Christine absolutely loved the Adventure Playground and Brennan wished Booth could be with them there to enjoy it all.

Manila, Philippines

Brennan and Christine were spotted in Intramuros, the oldest district and hub of history in Manila, Philippines. Known as the Walled City, Intramuros was the seat of government during Spanish rule. Construction of Intramuros began in 1590 and would continue until 1872. Eventually Intramuros would come to be known as the City of Churches due to the different religious orders that built churches there (Recollects, Jesuits, Franciscans, Dominicans, and Capuchins). While Brennan does not put much stock in religion she did admire the architecture and rich history of Intramuros and thinks Booth might appreciate seeing it one day.

Evanston, Illinois, USA

Brennan and Christine were spotted visiting Brennan’s Alma mater of Northwestern University, specifically the Anthropology Department in Evanston, Illinois. The Department of Anthropology at Northwestern, founded in 1938, is old and respected, among the second generation of anthropology departments. It was established by Melville Herskovits, student of Franz Boas and an early builder of four-field American anthropology.

Seattle, Washington, USA

Brennan and Christine were spotted in front of Qwest Field in Seattle, Washington. Home to the Seattle Seahawks, Qwest Field also plays host for soccer events (it passes FIFA World Cup standards). CenturyLink acquired Qwest in 2011 and since then the stadium has been known as CenturyLink Field. The field cost approximately $430 million to build and has a seating capacity of 67,000 people (expandable to 72,000 for special events).

Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Brennan and Christine were spotted at Nuuanu Pali in Honolulu, Hawaii. Nuuanu Pali is home to the Nuuanu Freshwater Fish Refuge and the Nuuanu Reservoir. The lookout point features a panoramic view of the northeast coast of the island of Oahu. This area was the site of the Battle of Nuuanu, one of the bloodiest battles in Hawaiian history. Two large stones near the back of Nuuanu Valley called Hapuu and Ka-lae-hau-ola are said to represent goddesses who guard the passage. Travelers often leave flowers or bark cloth as offerings to ensure a safe journey. It is said that on extra windy days you can lean into the wind and let the gusts hold you up but Brennan didn’t want to take any chances.

Seattle, Washington, USA

Brennan and Christine were spotted shopping at Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington. Mother and daughter were first spotted enjoying samples of Beecher’s handmade cheese, then they ate what is regarded as the World’s Best Gluten Free Mac & Cheese. They proceeded to browse through the various market stalls where mom & daughter smelled the flowers and sampled delicious jams and jellies. Brennan and Christine left with a handful of various flavored honey straws and a bouquet of flowers, but not until after having a run in with a runaway crab that escaped from one of the stalls and was running all over the place. Mom and baby were not harmed.

San Antonio, Texas, USA

Brennan and Christine were spotted by Cat touring the historic Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio). All but two of the Texian defenders were killed. Santa Anna’s perceived cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians—both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States—to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution.
