With Jean at Ingalls Lake		We set up our tents just a little bit past the lake


		The lake was chilly but refreshing.











		Eric with his friend Ayre


We planted Rubus pentalobus (creeping raspberry) in our backyard, and it produced a lot of fruit. Not as tasty as regular raspberry, but not bad.		At Seahurst park

With the right combination of facial expression, I was able to get the age estimator program to knock 10 years off my age.		Cooking at home


At Fort Stevens in Oregon











This was previously an interesting old museum at Fort Stevens. Too bad they shut it down.		Biking around the trails


		In Astoria - the house the Goonies was filmed in








Peter, prepping his clothes for the first day of schol		With his friend Caleb


At the Amazon buliding in downtown Seattle		The Amazon Go store was a cool experience. Walk in, walk out, no cashier!


Lots of cameras though		The doggie area.


At the Pyuallap Fair		Mt Rainier


		Jean and I did the Seattle Houseboat tour





		I'll bet the cat that lives here enjoys the setup...

Bear poop		We bushwhacked up to this rock formation behind the house

In La Conner. Not sure what this huge, crumbling old warehouse was.		The strange looking structures across the water are the Swinomish Cedar Hats - park buildings shaped like tribal hats.


		Biking on the Amargosa Trail in Henderson, Nevada


		Along the strip


At the Bellagio


We got a tour of one of the private villas. Very deluxe.
