So, where did I leave off? Oh, yes, halfway through Yellowstone. The day after Norris Geyser Basin, etc. was a bit more of a lazy day for us. We woke up pretty early (5:30 for Jim, 6 for me) and drove out to the Lamar Valley before the sun came up. We’d heard from several

So Jim and I are here in Yellowstone! Yesterday we left Glacier National Park, early in the morning. I discovered that I somehow had left my boots in Portland, and the only shoes I had otherwise were TOMS, which are *great* hiking shoes (not). So after we got some coffee and GNP postcards, we went

My mom is up for the weekend, and my sister and I both had today off (whoopee!) so we decided to go to Edmonds. We painted our own pottery there at Glazed and Amazed a couple years ago, so my sister suggested this time we make our own glass art! It was interesting. A very

What to Expect: A medium-hard hike. Full disclosure: we are fairly out of shape, hiking-wise, and we are also total wimps when it comes to hot weather. So if you’re a fairly confident hiker, and hike either in the other three seasons, or thrive in the heat, you may find this easier than we did.
