2017-07-21 Me and My Witches Hat

I have two words for people who make assumptions about other people.. Just Don’t. I sometimes repeat myself if I feel really strongly about something.. Just Don’t. Yesterday I was just finishing watering my potted plants and going through the house from the back to the front door and nearly missed a man putting a…

2017-07-20: These are a Few of Our Favorite Things…

On the plane ride home I asked my kids about our vacation with very specific questions. I think what you retain in your memories is solidified by recalling it several times, especially when it is fresh in your mind. I’m asking myself the same questions and will see how my answers stack up next to…

2017-07-19 Finally Home

It’s not like the journey took us a long time, but arriving at midnight makes it seem that way. I had less sleep last night than the four or five previous days and immediately started unpacking and doing laundry as soon as I was up. I’ve kind of been just going through the motions today,…

2017-07-18 PNW Day 8 (Part 2): The Traveling Trio

I spent about an hour this AM in the fitness center at the hotel, which pretty much amounted to a room with a treadmill, elliptical machine, a weight machine, and a TV. I let the kids geek out with their iPads in the room while I got my steps in for the day. I opted…

I ended up driving back to Portland last night with every intention of just returning the rental car and staying at a hotel near the airport and taking the shuttle when it was time to go. Instead, when we arrived, I thought maybe since our flight does not leave until later in the afternoon, I…

2017-07-17 PNW Day 7: Winding Down

The kids are still sleeping and I had to get up to go put money in the parking meeter. It’s not the most convenient thing to have to do (at 7AM), but since I was awake anyway it’s OK. I’ve slept 8+ hours the last three nights (pharma assisted) but I still don’t feel that…

2017-07-16 PNW Day 6 (Part Two): Seattle Scenery

We pretty much stuck to downtown today. The car was parked at a lot about a block from the hotel and we spend the whole day on foot. it is not cheap to park here for any amount of time, even on the weekend but in my opinion still worth not having to hassle with…

2017-07-16 PNW Day 6: Waking Up in Seattle

Last night we ended up stopping along I-5 North in Eugene Oregon at a lovely hotel, The Comfort Inn, which had an indoor pool and complimentary breakfast. Those are our two pre-requisites for an ideal stop. It’s actually the first place since the Holiday Inn Express a couple of days ago that was access to…
