Back on the Road Again Since leaving Harpers Ferry in late April, we spent a few days southeast of Pittsburgh, 6 weeks at home in Bellevue, and then a few more days back southeast of Pittsburgh.

1,123 Miles, ~20 hours driving (~10 hours each), in 4 Days It is NOT our “normal” travel habit to move Lizzy even 2 days-in-a-row, let alone 4. Nor do we regularly drive more than 250 miles in a single day, let alone 3 of 4 days in a row. We Read more

Left Seattle Area yesterday, after 3+ weeks at home We didn’t do even half of what we had on our To-Do List! No surprise. We did get in all our planned (and follow-up) doctor & dentist visits and did the most pressing yard work (i.e. hedge trimming). Mark worked on Read more
