A quick trip to Seattle

After three months of working on a catalog and tour guide for 100 Portland artists, I decided that I needed a little break. We packed up the car and drove up to Seattle to visit my parents, leaving Dad to watch over the completion of the new fence going up in our back yard and get a little extra work done.

I timed the trip, so that Cora would nap on the three hour drive North. She slept all but the last ten miles. My parents have a park-like back yard with the one key ingredient that makes Cora squeal with delight: water. Lucky for me, they do not have as much bare dirt as we do in our back yard, so Cora did not become covered with mud.

Uncle Alex came over for a visit and shot a few pictures in my parent's back yard.

water (wa-wa!)

bubbles! (one of Cora's favorite words)


I think Cora looks a lot like Dad in this photo.


crows (caw-caw!)

yippee!

And for those of you who noticed. Yes, I cut my hair.
