I’m sorry that you haven’t heard from me in a while. The vacation has been going really well, but this has been a busy weekend. We have left Seattle and I am writing this from our new location in Vancouver, WA. For those of you who are interested (and it seems that there are a lot of you all!) this post is just a quick (or as quick as possible) update about the last few days activities. Also, Michele has encouraged me to set up a Facebook page for this blog here. If you would be so kind as to click over there and “Like” it, I would love you all just ever so slightly more than I already do. It doesn’t look like much yet, but I promise that it will be all nice and redded up soonlyish.

So, we survived another day. Hit up Pike Place Market, where I bought an embroidered peace sign that I will turn upside down so it is properly an Algiz rune. The first thing that we saw was the original Starbucks location and its ridiculously long line. Though, the busking going on in front of Starbucks was really nice. We had to leave the market shortly after arrival because neither Michele or Elijah was really enjoying it all that much. Too many people and not enough to do that didn’t cost money we really didn’t need to spend. That meant that it was time to head over to the Space Needle to complete the compulsory rounds of Seattle tourism.
So, the Parham’s are on vacation. We decided to blow what little money we had on getting out-of-town for a bit. Ages ago, I lived in Seattle for a bit. I loved living in Seattle, but it got to the point that I was frustrated with having to work multiple jobs to live in a tiny place when I had a whole house back in Oklahoma. I went back to Seattle for the 2001 National Poetry Slam, but I haven’t set foot to earth in the Pacific Northwest since even though I have wanted to. Since one of the family goals this year was to get to the Life Is Good Unschooling Conference in Vancouver, WA, we decided to do a big trip and fly into Sea-Tac a bit early and spend some time in Seattle before the conference.
