No Snivelling

OK -- my blogging has been... err... intermittent. I get it. But, I've been busy -- really, I have. OK, get the violins out -- I'll tell you what I've been up to. In addition to lots of TeachStreet stuff, Karen and I rented a house in Friday Harbor (in the San Juan Islands, a bit north of Seattle). The idea was to get away as often as possible for weekends and maybe find a week or two to get away. Well, the latter idea never really happened, but we had a fantastic time popping up for weekends. The house we rented was fantastic (cozy, in-town, wi-fi, hot tub, no TV, etc.) and we actually made a bunch of new friends throughout the summer.

What that's meant, though, is that it put our Seattle life on hold a bit -- weeks were always busy (trying to work long hours to feel a little less guilty about heading north on weekends) and with the drive & ferry, most weekends ended pretty late on Sundays.

We look forward to seeing Seattle-folks a bit more... but we're also sad that we'll be seeing Friday Harbor and new friends a little less.

That said... we did some research today, and found two pet-friendly hotels, to accommodate more regular (monthly?) trips to Friday Harbor -- I, for one, have gotten a bit hooked on the lifestyle :-) If you're interested in making a long weekend, and would rather bring the dog along, check out Elements and Tucker House Inn, both in downtown Friday Harbor.
