Outing
Meadowbrook Pond & Homemade Pizza
Hi, everybody! Sorry it’s been so long since Nick and I blogged last. We’ve settled in at home and haven’t really had anything blog-worthy to talk about lately. We’re both very happy and doing well, though! 😀 The weather was beautiful yesterday (sunny and cloudless, temperature in the mid 50’s), so we went for a walk … Continue reading
Museum of History and Industry
On Saturday, Nick and I went to the Grand Opening of Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI). While MOHAI has been around since 1911, Saturday’s Grand Opening celebrated the museum’s opening at its new South Lake Union location. MOHAI preserves and presents the history of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Artifacts in the first … Continue reading
Bus to Downtown
I am going to Casual Connect (a conference about the casual game industry) in a week and a half for work. The conference is held in downtown Seattle, so it’s nice that there isn’t any travel involved other than a bus ride. It turns out that there’s an express bus that goes from our place … Continue reading
Exploring the Neighborhood
Hello! Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days; Nick and I have been busy unpacking, nesting, and exploring. 🙂 Grandma came down to have lunch with me on Wednesday. Grandpa repaired a drawer for us that needed some minor fixing (thanks, Grandpa!) and Grandma brought it down with her. There is a burger restaurant … Continue reading
Volunteer Park Conservatory
The last two days have been really nice, sunny days with temperatures in the 70’s. Today, however, Margaret and Donna got to experience a cool, wet Seattle day. Nick and I spent the morning taking a load of boxes over to the house and setting up some things there. It’s really starting to feel like home. … Continue reading
Alki and Pike Place Market
This morning, we all went to West Seattle to meet up with Mom and Amanda. We got there a little early, so we stopped to take some pictures of downtown (see picture above – the Space Needle is orange “galaxy gold” in celebration of the Seattle World’s Fair 50th anniversary). We walked around Alki Beach … Continue reading
We are Homeowners!!!
OMG, what an exciting day! We took Margaret, Donna, and Suki to the University of Washington this afternoon, so they could see where Nick works. Suki is a 14-year-old pug and she is having a hard time walking right now, so she was pushed around in a stroller (lots of people commented about how cute … Continue reading
Amanda’s Graduation
Nick and I have been so busy getting ready for the move that we forgot to post about Amanda’s graduation (sorry, Amanda)! On Sunday, Amanda graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a BA in Religion and a minor in History. She graduated magna cum laude and was a Pinnacle Society member for leadership and service, … Continue reading
The past couple weeks
This isn’t the promised post, but we just realized that we neglected to post about our outings over the past few weeks. Two weeks ago I participated in a Microsoft usability study. I got to spend the afternoon on Microsoft’s campus and be part of a focus group that provided feedback about an upcoming product. … Continue reading
Opening Day of Boating Season
Yesterday was the Opening Day of the boating season in Seattle and Uncle Peter invited us to join him on his boat for the festivities (thanks, Uncle Peter!). The weather wasn’t supposed to be that great (partly cloudy and temps in the low-50’s – compared to nearly 70 today!), but it was actually pretty nice, … Continue reading
