Seattle Summer... and the livin' is easy...

Shannon and I have been having a great time in Seattle the last two weeks.  We've recovered from our road trip, caught up with friends, been backpacking in our home mountain range and generally enjoyed the city.  We have just less than two weeks left here and so it's time to start our transition out of our house with lots... and lots... of packing.  That's why I'm writing this blog post.  It's procrastination.... but shhhh... don't tell Shannon I'm not packing.

One of our exciting days here has been our 6 month wedding anniversary.  We made it 6 months!  One of the pieces of marriage advice we read somewhere was to limit "change" in your first year of marriage... well it seems we threw that out the window and things are going great!  Anyway, here's Shannon with some anniversary flowers (and corn) from the Phinney Farmer's Market.

  

I've snuck in some bro-time since we've been home too... including a fun mountain biking trip with Taylor and Jeff.  It's been a long time since I mountain biked and felt good to be back on the old steed.

 

We've had good Seattle weather so grilling out has been mandatory.  We had one last hang-out at our house... which we moved outside for optimal grillage.  Good times with good friends!

 

I'm working on a few more blog updates that we'll put up in the next few days including our GumShoe Walk and backpacking trip to the Goat Rocks Wilderness... so stay tuned as we get back into blog-ville.
