We could not possibly have had a better time. 6 shows in 5 days, vegan dim sum and black & white cookies galore. The photos speak for themselves: I got to talk to THE Gavin Creel! King George was excellent! Dear Evan Hansen! I am obsessed. And, I got to meet Jennifer Laura Thompson! Come Read More …
Mom talked about how important the Grand Canyon was, but, do you know the REAL reason why we drove all the way to Phoenix instead of going back to Las Vegas? In a word: Tarbell’s Excellent choice, Mom.
They definitely named the Grand Canyon correctly. I can’t even say anything that fits this stunning place. “The wonders of the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately represented in symbols of speech, nor by speech itself. The resources of the graphic art are taxed beyond their powers in attempting to portray its features. Language and illustration Read More …
WOW! I never knew that they used enough cement at the Hoover Dam to build a highway all the way from California to New York! I’m glad we got to stop here.
I’m just going to say it. I am not the biggest fan of Las Vegas. There are way too many people smoking here. My eyes are watering, my throat is sore, and I think I smell like an ashtray. The Strip is not my favorite place. There were a few things that I liked there. Read More …

We visited Astoria (quaint, with good ghost pepper fudge at the Farmers’ Market), Cannon Beach (really pretty, cool Haystack Rock, awful food at Mo’s – DO NOT EAT THERE!), Newport (Sylvia Beach Hotel with the excellent library, book themed rooms and a nice Read More …
We stayed in the coolest hotel ever for the night. It was a book themed hotel. Each room paid homage to a different author, like Mark Twain or James Steinbeck. We got to stay in the Jules Verne room. It was decorated like a submarine. It had a semi-frightening squid tentacle sticking out of the Read More …
I like Seattle, but it seems like it is cloudy too often to make it a finalist for me to live there. I do like the area where we are staying, Belltown. The best thing in the neighborhood is Seattle Glassblowing. I got to spend 2 days there creating bowls, plates and cups. Here are Read More …
We took a seaplane to get to Friday Harbor, the biggest town on San Juan Island. What we saw of the island was very quaint and cute. I am spending the next few weeks on a small island 10 minutes away by boat. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Our road trip to Florida was fun, and very hot. I don’t think I’d be very happy living in Florida for most of the year. I was so glad we had air conditioning everywhere we went. Here are some pictures from our road trip: The oldest school in the USA is in St. Augustine. That Read More …
