For Mom. 2 years.
To this moment.
These ones are all for you; you were always in my eyes and continue to be there when I escape to looking through .
A Seattle day trip. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the World Cup, may I recommend Victoria as a wonderful day trip. This lovely little city is a hop skip and a jump from Seattle and the transport options are so easy and actually fun that they’re a part of the experience. The conveniently sails from Pier 69. It has comfy assigned seating, food on board and the Captain often shares when to go to the decks to see Orcas. Riding a high speed ferry is really a unique and fun experience. If you need to drive to the ferry, is a great way to reserve ahead (and the clipper will validate —- follow their instructions! for the Bell/Elliott garage.) Make sure you check ID requirements and bring proper paperwork if traveling with one parent of the child. All in all, super easy though. The Clipper will even provide transport to Victoria attractions if you set up that package.
Option two is by air! Take a seaplane from any who offer, such as . This is an AMAZING way to get there quickly AND have an incredible experience along the way. Make sure you understand what you can bring but seaplane operators are super friendly and can answer any of your questions.
While Victoria is perfect for a day trip (you can easily come back the same day) if you choose to stay overnight there are a plethora of options in this walkable city. The by is perfect and their Afternoon Tea is not to be missed! We enjoyed the Kids in the Castle package this time (not a paid collab, just sharing). Super fun! The Gold level has had an outstanding reno and truly is in a class of its own. Overall, when you have the chance, the .accor Fairmont properties in Canada are something truly special. So friendly, and so classy. I adore .
Lastly, don’t forget about activities. The is world class. Buy your own tickets or roll them into a package. It’s about a 30 minute drive so securing the coach is really helpful. Or, just stay in town and walk the beautiful streets for the small urban neighborhoods and beautiful houses.
We ❤️ Victoria!

hits different with this one. The energy from the aviation community at the end of Spirit was the perfect example of how this airline was never just “budget.” We haven’t seen the last of the best of Spirit yet.

Grief is strange. The worst part I think is how it ambushes you and how it distorts the passage of time. Months flew by this year when I receded further and further. It seemed like forever and also only a split second. How was I able to just sit in a chair for hours and do nothing besides think? It led to a lot of feelings of shame and frustration. I know it wasn’t my fault but it was also very strange that even with careful thought, therapy, trying to be open and honest, it STILL got in the way and caused problems. What’s the lesson to be learned? What else could I have done? Why do some people get this flavor and others get that flavor? All good questions without the neat and tidy answers I want. I guess that what I can learn and share is that even those of us who try to handle it openly and decisively will still get ambushed at times in ways that will lead to negative effects. The irony here is that that is exactly what I’ve been saying the whole time, that “grief leads and we don’t get to dictate when and how” has been my open battle cry this whole time yet I was oblivious since obviously that included things unforeseen for me as well. I get it now. I’m going to hope for the best and try to remind myself that this is normal.
As for today, I’m going to stop staring at this stupid sign (I’ve been frozen in this spot for an hour now) and do what I want to do, which is go sit alone and work on my computer for a while. I keep randomly almost crying and the thought of peopling is a non-starter. Maybe I’ll pull up some weeds later. Maybe some plane pics. What a pain it is being human sometimes with this clunky human brain.
Miss you Mom & Dad.

Thank you, LAX. You’re always the best antidote. See you on the flipside!
My sunshine took a big fat unscheduled leave of absence. Rude.
The reason I started making silly videos and taking photos several years ago was to cheer myself up because it is fuel for doing the harder, important tasks. Time to do what worked before and see if I can find the balance of silly + pretty + bright + productive.
Huge, huge, thanks to those who reached out. It meant a lot and I apologize for how long it is taking to scrape my way out and reply properly. I was racing for years and here we are. Oh well! :) I’m healthy and hopeful. I hope you have all the things that bring you joy (mostly planes and cheese.)
