More Camping Success

No joke, we went camping over Thanksgiving weekend and it was awesome!  Everything is extra good while camping.  Hot drinks are great, all of the food you make is so satisfying, and fire is the best.  We were not cold at all in the tent, even though the lows were below freezing.  We have two […]

Dawg

We got a dog.  At the shelter they said she was a Staffordshire Terrier but there’s some disagreement between Will and me about whether she’s an American Staffordshire Terrier or a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.  Her name is Beauty but I’ve taken to calling her baby girl.  She’s six. We got her yesterday and so far […]

Arrr Mateys!

A while back I saw a pirate ship in the ship canal on my way to work.  I think it might be the same pirate ship that appeared in Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ video for Can’t Hold Us.  If you watch that video, you can sometimes see Seattle in the background.

The Long Way Back

So we gathered up all of our stuff and cleaned up the house a little bit. We were all going to the same airport, which was handy and their flight was leaving only an hour after ours. There are of course some Disney stores in the airport so we checked those out before saying our […]

Florida Day 5

Sea World! We saw baby dolphins, and stingrays, and seals, and a walrus, and manatees, and whales, and fish, and sharks, and sea turtles, and flamingos, and an otter. I liked Sea World a lot. It wasn’t as crowded as Disney, so we didn’t really have to wait in line for rides and events. The […]

Florida Day 4 – Part 2

Blogging is hard work. So Dad, Will, and I went to Kennedy Space Center. It was cool. We took a bus tour all around the grounds and saw the launch site and the giant building where they build things and the big crawler that takes all the giant stuff out to the launch pad. From […]

Florida Day 4 – Part 1

Day 4 was our big trip to the ocean and for Will, Dad, and me it was our trip to Kennedy Space Center. The ocean was really cool. I had never actually seen the open Atlantic or Pacific for myself. I’ve been to seas, like the North Sea in Germany, the Adriatic, and the Gulf […]

Florida Day 3

Day 3 was the day we took our trip to Magic Kingdom, which I imagine is the most popular Disney park. You have to take either a ferry or the monorail from the parking lot to the park. It adds a not insignificant amount of travel time, but it’s neat on the way there at […]
