Last weekend, when visiting Meagan in Port Angeles, we took the ferry up to Victoria. It was a beautiful day, the weekend before Canada Day, and there was a Tall Ships Festival going on. Here are some pictures from the day.

I write this from the driver’s seat of my car as I wait a few hundred yards from the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal. It’s a little difficult to type. I don’t think the Toyota Corolla engineers considered this use case when designing this car. There’s not enough room between me and the steering wheel for [...]
I’m finally back in Seattle after a multi-purpose, eight day trip to Boston, Vermont, Las Vegas, and Blaine Washington.
Here are pictures from the trip to Vermont to visit the Inn at Mountain View Farm. Enjoy.

Despite the late bedtime and the likelihood that my body was still on west coast time, I forced myself out of bed quite early, at around 6:45 am, so I could explore the grounds before we needed to depart for our later appointments that day. Plus I wanted to take some pictures, [...]
Recovered from our earlier adventures, Wednesday morning, Meagan, Jayne, and I stopped downstairs at the café for a light breakfast before packing up the car to Burlington, Vermont. It was a fun ride northwest. Halfway along the way, we stopped at Dartmouth for some more coffee and pastries at the Dirt Cowboy Café (informally known [...]
Meagan and I just finished up a fun three days in New England to visit family and take care of some pre-wedding preparations.
We started early on Tuesday morning, groggily stepping off a redeye from Seattle and then headed to Meagan’s parents’ apartment in downtown Boston. We decided to forego a nap, enjoy a coffee and [...]
After a few weeks of debate, discussion, Lonely Planet East Africa reading, internet research, calls to a travel agent in London, and financial soul-searching, we pulled the trigger and booked the Tanzania honeymoon. I finally locked down flights over the weekend and confirmed the safari details yesterday. Woohoo! Rob at Africa Travel Resource has been [...]
This past weekend, I headed up to Whistler with my brother Brian and some friends for the last weekend of the Telus Festival. It wasn’t necessarily intended to be a dudes only trip, but like many ski trips, it ended up that way.
Brian flew in on Wednesday night, and Meagan, Brian, and I went to [...]
A few follow-up items to the Panorama trip. Three cool videos, one gory roadkill addendum.
First, the videos. Trip organizer/cinematographer JF created three videos celebrating our trip. They are all great - the last one, if you had to choose only one, is probably the best.

Or the largest piece of fish and chips known to man? The latter, actually, courtesy of Dick’s American Bandstand Bar & Grill in the Salt Lake City Airport.
And if you notice in the picture, I’m only holding up half of the prize - there’s two of them. It was pretty tasty, but as you can [...]
