The simple things in life

Sometimes the best vacations are the simplest ones. We debated long and hard about what we would do with our week off at the beginning of September. We knew it was going to end with a sweet treat -- seeing Ann and Tim get married at the end of it. But, before that, we weren't sure where to stay or what to do. Go visit the San Juan islands? Stay in downtown Seattle and do the touristy thing? Stay somewhere outside the PNW and then travel back right before the wedding? Well, we settled on staying in a little house rental in Federal Way so that we could be halfway between Seattle and Tacoma, a little closer to mount rainier and some of the fun stuff in that direction and we are so glad we did what we did! We got a little bit of everything without feeling totally beat down by traveling too much in a given day. We booked a flight that left here at 5 pm, which I think is the first time we've ever taken that late of a flight out on a vacation week. But, I think it work...

Goodbye

Well, after my last post I wasn't sure how the story of John's life would end. Little did I know we would learn the end so quickly. After a last minute cross-country flight back to Seattle, we were able to say our final goodbyes to John. Adler traveled well and was, once again, a joy in the room to all of us who were sharing John's last moments with him in the hospital room. Tom and John both showed an incredible level of strength in those final hours. John left this world in peace on the morning of April 13th at 6 AM. What followed his passing was a whirlwind of events working on trying to settle John's affairs, find homes for the Glassman pups, and find a new home for Katie. Adler, once again, kept us all smiling through it all. We made it through the weekend without a whole lot of pictures to show for it. There wasn't much time for photos in the midst of signing papers, researching housing options, making tough life decisions, and grie...

Money Creek Camping

This past weekend we had our first (and likely only) camping trip of 2012. It seems that all we ever manage to do each year is get out to the great outdoors to camp a single time, but each time we always have an amazing adventure! This year we selected a campground at Money Creek, just outside of a tiny, almost-bankrupt, town of Skykomish. It was only a 1.5 hour trip and when we arrived we were met with glorious sunshine on the creek. Pretty sweet view from the tent huh? After setting up camp we set out for our first mini hike to Dorothy Lake. Well, first we tried to find a different hike but did some miscalculating of the distance we had to drive to get to the trailhead so after driving there and back we realized we probably had to drive another 0.5 miles to reach it. But, along the way we were greeted by the biggest boulder I have ever seen in the road. After maneuvering around the boulder, we made it to the Dorothy lake trailhead....
