Reintegration to the real world is always hard. But today is something worth celebrating. Today is Mike and I’s third wedding anniversary. Three years ago we exchanged vows and finally made it official. It was a great weekend on Whidbey Island and a beautiful day at the Admiralty Head Lighthouse.
We didn’t do anything too special […]
This is it, the last day of vacation. Actually even the last few minutes before we head off to sleep and then go back to the real world and work tomorrow. We had a nice relaxed day back at home today. Mike picked up the dogs about 8:30 and then we went out to breakfast […]

Wayzata, MN to Everett, WA: 1,725 miles
Ever do something that at the time seems like a good idea but in retrospect seems crazy? That’s what we just spent the last two days doing. We decided to come home on I-94 instead of I-90 because we were hauling our new boat and it, combined with Mike’s […]

Well it’s been a crazy couple of days! Mike has recovered with style. Turns out the thumb is not broken, so we got him a rubber dishwashing glove and he’s been taping it onto his arm to swim. Good thing that he has a laid back roll with the punches kind of personality, if it […]

Bismarck, ND to Ely, MN
We got an early start, with a 7:30 am stop for coffee and banana bread at Starbucks and then on the road to Fargo.
We stopped to see the “World’s Largest Sandhill Crane”, missed the ”World’s Largest Buffalo” because the exit was closed, and made it to Fargo in under 3 hours.
There were other things to see on the way […]
