Glacier National Park - August 2013

Posted by Jason on September 21, 2013 - 5:08pm in Our Travels.

When:

August 27, 2013 to August 31, 2013

I've been meaning to post about our trip to Glacier National Park, but with our upcoming move, I got a bit behind. It was a really fun vacation. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring along my travel journal, so I'm going to try to remember all the stuff that we did.

Japan - March 2013

Posted by Jason on March 22, 2013 - 11:37pm in Our Travels.

When:

March 7, 2013 to March 16, 2013

Katie and I recently got back from our trip to Japan. We decided to have Penelope stay at home while we traveled, rather than bringing her with us, and this was the first time we had both been away from her at the same time for more than a single night. It was hard for us to be away, and a little hard on Penelope too, but it really worked out for the best. We were able to do the things that we wanted to do that would have been too boring for Penelope, without having to worry about naps and strange potties (she would have loved the food, though).

Goodbye Niña

Posted by Jason on August 11, 2012 - 5:00pm in Jason's Blog.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of Niña's passing. After a long life of nearly 16 years, of which she spent the last 8 with us, we had to put her down on Thursday morning. She had been in decline for nearly a year, when she first developed some GI problems. About a month ago, she mostly stopped eating, but did not appear to be in pain and continued to interact with us normally. My hope was that nature would take its course, and we could avoid having to make a difficult decision. However, on Wednesday night, she woke us up in the middle of the night howling.

Alaska RV Adventure - June 2012

Posted by Jason on June 25, 2012 - 12:28am in Our Travels.

When:

June 9, 2012 to June 17, 2012

As I recently mentioned in a blog post, we went to Alaska a week ago for a vacation. Katie has never been, and we wanted to be sure to go while we are still in Seattle and relatively close. For this trip, we decided to try renting an RV, since it seemed like the best way to be able to get around and see lots of different things without having to a) find lodging each night or b) pitch a tent each night. We liked the idea of the convenience of having everything with you all the time and not having to pack and unpack every day as we moved around.
