Seattle!

I spent the week of August 6th in Seattle visiting family, friends, and my sweet nephew Rogan who turned 1 on July 31st! As usual, the trip was a whirlwind, and when I was packing up to head back to DC I could hardly believe that nearly a week had passed! Here are some highlights …

Here and there…

Washington D.C. to Doha, Qatar! Here are some photo updates from the last week or so… Erin sent me some photos of a park she discovered when exploring our neighborhood last week. Again, you’ll notice she failed to send me any photos of her pretty face – so, if you want to actually see Erin …

Rachel in So Cal

It’s been a while since I’ve given an update. It has been a busy past few weeks, and I was more invested in living than posting on the blog. But, I like blogging as much for my own memory and recoring mine and Erin’s life together, as I do to share what’s going on. I’m going …

Last Stop: Victoria, B.C.

We spent the last night of our trip in Victoria, British Columbia. Growing up in Seattle, I was able to get up to B.C. somewhat regularly, but I haven’t been there in years. We were only there for a quick stop, and the weather was pretty dismal. Still, it is a really beautiful city, and …

Alaska Part V: Skagway

We spent our last day in Alaska in the old mining town of Skagway. While the gold rush in Alaska was short lived, this town remains true to its history. Our first stop was a cemetery, dating back to the late 1800’s when the gold rush was in full swing. There were, sadly, a lot …
