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.

There were other things to see on the way […]

Today was the first real day of summer here in Seattle. It was in the 70s, sunny and warm. Of course, it’s only fleeting as summer never really starts until July, but it was wonderful nonetheless.
Mike and I went to a friend’s cabin on Whidbey Island for the long weekend. We took both dogs, our […]
