Several weeks ago, Tamara and I realized that we were both wanting to go out of town during the first week in August. “Hey, let’s close down for a week and take a real vacation!” It sounded like such an awesome idea.
Awesome and totally, totally doomed to fail.
My little family arrived here in Seattle this evening. As I unpacked our clothes and set up a changing station for the baby, my husband got to work setting up an internet connection. Within 15 minutes, I had checked the company email and was drafting my to-do list for the week.

- Oh, and that sooper-secret thing I can’t tell you about ’cause it’ll spoil the surprise
So, I suppose there is a bit of a question as to whether or not I’m really on vacation. The fact that I am practically in the shadow of the Space Needle tells me that I am. (Seriously, I’m looking at the Space Needle and typing this right now!)
My plan for the week is to intersperse the above projects in between visits to the Children’s Museum, the Pacific Science Center, and whatever other wonderful things I find to do. I have a sneaking suspicion that I won’t have any trouble finding a Starbucks with an internet connection around here!
