Travel on New Years Day...

We arrived safe and sound in Seattle yesterday. In the evening we opened Christmas presents (so much fun!) and had a nice dinner. Today we're visiting with Brother Corwin, a family friend of many years. He is a Dominican in northern CA now, enjoying the life of a monastic. It was a lovely relaxed day. We went for a walk around the lake, had nice meals together, and got to chat quite a bit. It's nice to be on this half of our vacation--though of course it means we're that much closer to going back to Boston :( which means we'll be missing family again.

But, in the mean time, we're happy to be home in WA. (And just in case you're wondering, yes, we did miss all the snow. We're going to Spokane tomorrow, though, so we'll see what we get there!)
