Travel - 2011

We like to travel. Here are stories and photos from our trips.

For Memorial Day weekend, Katie and I took Penelope on her first camping trip. We went to Olympic National Park, which we had been wanting to visit for a long time. Camping with a baby definitely takes camping to a whole new level. While we had a lot of fun, it was also a lot of work to keep Penelope safe and entertained. Overall, she seemed to really enjoy herself, although I don't think she really appreciated her surroundings all that much.

Kauai - November 2011

For Thanksgiving this year, Katie and I decided to take Penelope on a vacation to Hawaii. We had been wanting to go back ever since we visited Maui a few years ago, and the Thanksgiving break seemed like a good time to get away from the cold and rain of Seattle. We were very happy that Omi and Abuelito (aka, Jason's parents) were able to join us, and not just because we wanted some babysitters (although that was a big help!).
