We've been in Seattle for 2 full days. I have to remind myself that I don't have to pack up all of our groceries and clothes and stuff them into the Prius tomorrow morning. It's nice to stay somewhere for more than 2 days. While I do enjoy traveling--particularly avoiding tourist attractions, favoring bookstores and… Continue reading Fog

Seattle
We're going to sleep in Seattle. Y'all hatin', we know.
SLC Punk?
But where were all the punks? I saw lots of Mormons and their hundreds of children. There was a yummy Chinese restaurant with lots of vegetarian food that stayed open all day on Xmas (thanks!), and a movie theatre with an espresso machine. But no punks.

I like cold but… Continue reading Pilsen
