Currently I’m on a road trip with my family along the Oregon Coast. June is not really considered summer quite yet in the Northwest with all the rain (it’s raining in Bandon, Oregon as I write!)–by August the entire area will be sweltering in heat, but that’s a month I rarely see in this areaContinue reading Northwest Layering

Sleepless in Seattle
Oh, jet leg is such a bugger. My poor kiddos are now at an age where it really bothers them.

This last weekend Found the Sound there was a sidewalk concert held outside of Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay.
