So, what to say? We spent a couple days in Boulder at a camp site with wifi. Is there anything better? Drove all the way to Hermiston, OR in one day (~16 hours) to recharge and hang out with my brother, Brett and my mom who happened to be visiting him. We took a tour of McNary Dam where Brett works and checked out the turbines and fish monitoring apparatus. A good time was had by all.
Next we drove to Seattle and took a ferry to Vashon Island and spent a few nights sleeping in a teepee with its own fire pit. Sadly I forgot to take pictures but it was a lot of fun. By the third morning my pancakes had improved from pale piles of half-cooked mush into perfect golden circles. I'm having mixed feelings about actually preparing my own food...it probably won't become a habit at this phase of my life. Or ever.
After Vashon we drove to the other side of Puget Sound and visited Olympic National Park. The coastline is spectacular. It would have been great, if a bit cold, to camp there. Perhaps I'll have to find a secluded spot on the Oregon coast and do just that.
We recently arrived in Portland where we'll be until Tuesday when Amy flies back to North Carolina and 'we' becomes 'I'. So sad. And it will be several weeks before Natasha gets in from Windsor.
What will I do until then??

What do you mean "What will I do?"! I think you know what to do man! :-)
