We have enjoyed our time in Seattle. Typically after a day of study and work, we head out on different treks and food adventures. We have been downtown a few times to catch meals. One of our favorite places was the biscuits at Serious Pie per recommendations from Sonya’s sister, DeeDee. The combination of homemade…

Fremont Troll
This troll is so ugly looking with its one big eye starting at you, but it feels like such a treasure once you finally arrive, that it really doesn’t matter. The kids love climbing on it, they love finding places to take pictures on it – like up its nose! And they love discovering the…
Seattle Parks for Families
So, our top favorite parks here in Seattle have been recommended by everyone we meet: Discovery Park Lincoln Park Seward Park As a family, you really could spend a whole day at each park with a picnic lunch, bikes, and a camera. They all have 3 things we love: trails, water, and a zip-line!! One…

Boise, ID: Low Expectations – Amazing Time!
There’s some truth to the connection between low expectations and having a great time. Part of the reason for our success in this trip so far is because we are not tied to very many great expectations. We know we want to explore as much of the Western United States as we can this year,…
Being a Mom on the Road
I’m the type of person that handles life best one thing at a time – one goal at a time. My stress-meter goes up when I’m pulled in too many directions (like more than two! 😉 Being on the road has made life much simpler in so many ways. I don’t have to worry about…
