Summer break: Top six photos of SPU’s 2017 incoming class

September 20 is the official move-in day for Seattle Pacific’s incoming class. You voted to choose your favorite of the top six #mysummer photos … and Katie’s fun photo of her trip to Iceland’s Blue Lagoon came out on top!

6. @ashn1kk: Hawaiian Waterfall

Ashley took this gorgeous photo at Wailua Falls on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

5. @asedathequeen: Minnie Me

Aseda’s IG caption on this sweet Disney Land photo pretty much says it all: “Flashback to a sunny day in a “small world” with my momma! Some would say I’m her “minnie” me…”

4. @4shlynn: Costa Rica Ride

During a gorgeous trail ride through the rainforest, Ashlynn took this photo of an incredible trip to Costa Rica.

3. @roxyruther: Mood Swings

Uh, so … we hadn’t heard of the Museum of Ice Cream, but now we need to go there. Roxy captioned this sweet photo “mood swings” because moving away from home can definitely come with a flurry of different emotions.

2. @katie.snyder: Blue Lagoon

Katie’s summer trip to Iceland included a stop at the famous Blue Lagoon: a geothermal spa whose waters can reach temperatures of over 100 degrees.

1. @_thompsono_: Bay Hike

For the final #mysummer finalist, we had to share Hannah’s beautiful view from Lopez Island, Washington. In her words, “When you stop to look around, life is pretty amazing.”
