  • Readjusting

    Posted on April 8, 2011 by KK in family, food, friends, travel.

    Since I last wrote, we’ve been to the East Coast and back. Some travel commentary: Our flight from San Francisco to Dulles took FOUR HOURS. I am not making this up. They told us it would take 4.5, which seemed ludicrously short even then, but it took just a couple of minutes over four. Doesn’t […]

  • Dad’s visit, Day 3

    Posted on April 18, 2010 by Dan in family, travel.

    (Sidenote: My dad came to visit in late March, and he’s going to be sending me his account of what we did on his visit. The day he is talking about we drove north to eat oysters fresh out of the water.) So many highlights – each day was unique and memorable! I’m jumping right […]

  • Blog silence over.

    Posted on February 11, 2010 by Dan in family, travel.

    Well, it’s been awhile – I thought I’d update you on the ridiculousness that 2010 has been so far. I was hoping that February would be better than January, but that theory has been proved wrong already. My co-worker has me convinced that if we follow the Lunar Calendar, it will all get better after […]

    1. My aunt Janis being incredibly thrilled when she unwrapped a Hickory Farms summer sausage from Dan in her stocking (because, no lie, she loves encased meat) 2. Doing three puzzles at Missy and Franklin’s while watching several Harry Potter movies 3. Talking with Josh on Skype and Ben on Gchat on New Years Eve, […]

    I think KK has been boycotting writing until I take the time to contribute more. For all you loyal followers, we’ve clearly been way behind in our posts… sorry about that. We have a lot to catch up on! Now that it is December, let’s talk about Halloween! It is always a fun time for […]

  • Highlights of home

    Posted on November 8, 2009 by Dan in family, friends, growing up, travel.

    So after the Gorge trip, and working a couple of weeks, I headed back to the East Coast for a week. Dan didn’t come with, because when we were making plans, we were unsure about his work stuffs. It ended up being a good thing – he got called for some interviews while I was […]

  • Pacific Northwest: Miscellaneous

    Posted on November 7, 2009 by Dan in concerts, food, travel.

    While we drove all the way up to Washington primarily for concerts, we did manage to do some other stuff too. In between the second and third shows, we took a side trip to Idaho. Because…when the heck else would we ever be in Idaho? Granted, we didn’t get very far inside the border, but […]

  • Pacific Northwest Roadtrip: The main attraction

    Posted on October 21, 2009 by Dan in concerts, travel.

    So, the big trees happened. About 13 hours of travelling happened. Onto day 2. We spent the first night in Albany, Oregon I believe, which is a bit south of Portland. We hung a right at Portland and found ourselves in the Columbia River Gorge. Which is full of those “wow, this is really gorgeous” […]

  • Pacific Northwest Roadtrip: Very large trees

    Posted on October 9, 2009 by Dan in travel.

    Disclaimer: I was going to write this post tomorrow night, as I have a pretty rockin headache this evening. But tomorrow, we have to take the cats to the vet, and as it’s a production even getting them in their carriers, I think tomorrow I’m just going to want to sit down with a couple […]
