Pancreatic Cancer Walk
On Sunday morning, Grandma and some of her friends (one of whom is a pancreatic cancer survivor) participated in PurpleStride Puget Sound, a fundraiser walk to support the fight against pancreatic cancer. It was located at Magnuson Park (right across the street from us), so Nick and I walked down to the park to cheer … Continue reading
Eye Exam
After nearly failing the vision test when getting my driver’s license in July, I needed to see an eye doctor. So on Tuesday, I had my first ever eye exam. They started with a weird test that blew air in my eyes. Then, I had to read letters under various scenarios. They put some drops in my … Continue reading
Piroshky Piroshky
On Saturday, Nick and I went to Pike Place Market with Mom and Amanda. Mom and Amanda took light rail and Nick and I took the bus. We met up at Westlake Center (a few blocks away from Pike Place Market). It took us 45 minutes (including walking 1/2 mile to the bus stop) to … Continue reading
Our First PLU Concert & Other Stuff
Before we left Michigan, Nick and I had a friend of ours (Shaun Pezeshki) take some pictures of the two of us around Wayne State’s campus. We got the pictures back a few days ago and I think they turned out pretty well. A few of the best pictures are below: I have been craving turkey … Continue reading
Bananas!

As they passed by the display of bananas, the little girl could hardly contain her excitement. She shouted “BANANAS!!!” and got a HUGE grin on her face. It was … Continue reading
The Burke Museum
On Thursday, we took advantage of free museum Thursday and went to The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, which is on the University of Washington campus. Dad had never been to UW’s campus before, so we walked around campus a bit and saw where Nick works. It’s a very pretty campus and Nick … Continue reading
Pike Place Market
On Saturday, Nick and I met Mom at Pike Place Market. It was the first time Mom had taken the light rail from her home into Seattle, so that was a fun experience for her. Nick and I picked up an assortment of fresh vegetables for dinner (stir fry). Nick also got himself some more … Continue reading
Early Morning Seattle
Wow! This amazing picture of Seattle was taken by photographer Thatcher Kelley on Tuesday from a plane. You can view the original 1920 x1280 picture on Flickr.
Puyallup Fair
On Friday, Nick went on a work retreat with his Information School coworkers to Daybreak Star Cultural Center at Discovery Park. I don’t have a lot to report on that because I wasn’t there. 😛 Nick had a good time, though. On Saturday, we went to the Puyallup Fair with Dad and Amanda. The Puyallup Fair … Continue reading
Long-Awaited Update
Sorry we haven’t updated the blog in so long! We’re starting to settle into our new home. We love it here and most of our exploring lately has been just driving around through the neighborhoods of Seattle – nothing particularly picture or blog-worthy. The weather has been amazing lately! We’ve lost count of how many consecutive … Continue reading
