Happy Fourth from Seattle! Up early today to get our boarding numbers for tomorrow AM's flight home. After the 5:15 AM check in, I headed out in search of a coffee stop that opened early on a holiday! Of course in Seattle, that was not too hard to find! Starbucs came thorugh with a 6 AM open time whch was perfect for the walk from Claire's apartment.. I grabbed my coffee and walked to Green Lake to soak up as much water time as I could before I leave! It wa...

OUr last Monday in Seattle was a day to work, explore and savor the things we love here! Claire and I started out working online from home.

Our first big adventure was to go see a potential house for her move at the end of the month. This was in Green Lake not far from the water. It was a possibility as she continues to look for both roommates and pl...

Crazy Sunday in Seattle! Not too many picutres today as my phone spent a lot of the day in repair! :( I started the day out right - got up and went for a 3 mile run.

Not so much my k...

We were back to Fremont for the afternoon and evening. We started with Happy Hour at The Thackery - listed in the top 20 things to do in Seattle. It was a cool little spot where we were lucky enough to get a patio spot. A nice couple sat down next to us and we had a fun conversation....

Kind of a quiet day for us in Seattle! I spent about 5 hours with my Sprouts program in Columbus. It's been a challenge to co-teach this class from 2000+ miles away. Today was great! I got to spend over an hour with my Geometry students helping them to problem solve some of their tasks. Then, I was on the big screen talking to the entire class about tasks, measurements and data they should be collecting and assessments. I think that they are finally realizi...
