Seattle

Hi all. So, time for an update on what we've been up to over the last few months. Finally had a chance to download a few pictures and recap a few adventures. First up is the trip that we took to Seattle in August for the wedding of Nikki's cousin, Summer. The wedding itself was a ton of fun (some might argue that I was bordering on too much fun...) and we got to hang out a bit with Summer before and after. We flew out a couple of days early to see the sights - Victoria, the Olympics, and a bit of Seattle proper. In Victoria (which is on Vancouver Island in Canada), we went whale watching for Willy, rode a scooter around town, did a bit of kayaking, and visited the awesomely cheesy miniature world and bug zoo. With Nikki's parents, we hiked up on Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic range - too foggy for a view, but we did see a tasty looking blue grouse (or something like that) to add to Chuck's list. Fun as always to see Nikki's family!!

Puppy time! Meet Hina!

Last days in DC and a canoe trip in the Poconos

We spent our last days in DC with Evan's family. Evan's parents came out for Darcy's white coat ceremony at Georgetown Medical School. While Evan had to work a lot, Nikki got to do some last-minute site-seeing.
