First day of school

On a rainy, late August morning, Fiona heads off to 2nd grade while Henry heads off for Multi 1 at Woodside.

Vacationland 2012

We caught the tail end of the Prestons' week in Diamond Cove. What was once an old army fort, Fort McKinley, on Great Diamond Island in Casco Bay is now a small resort community. After a brief two-night stay in Diamond Cove, we headed up the coast (or would that be down east?) to Pemaquid to see Gaba and Granny.

Seattle, in pictures and videos

We had a great week with Poppy and Nana. And we have the pictures and videos to prove it.

First, take a photo tour of the greater Seattle area. Highlights include the Space Needle, the Fremont Troll, and a ferry boat ride.

Where did we take the ferry to, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. We took the ferry to the Olympic Peninsula. Specifically, the Olympic Game Farm, a game farm in scenic Sequim filled with wheat bread-loving game.

And finally, we leave you with a garden train tour, courtesy of Poppy's friend, the Australian John Morrison. Impressive, to say the least.
