I’m a dork. Here we went on this trip and I’m thinking once we’re back I’ll have all this time to catch up on things at home… without realizing that we also had a fully booked weekend. I had everything written down on my calendar, just like normal… but for some reason the reality just didn’t penetrate. (I’m blaming jet lag.) So how much did I get caught up on? Not a whole lot. (Especially blog reading, darn it.) However I DID find the power cord to the camera, so here are a few pics from our trip. Oh, BTW, we went to Seattle and Poulsbo, WA. Poulsbo is on Bainbridge Island so lots of ferry rides much to Chance’s delight. – wg
Planes are cool.
My grandparent’s house, Keen and Chance chillin’ on the porch. I want a porch someday. (Hey Phoenix, this is the house where the "haunting" occurred.)
My grandpa and Chance. Notice the family ears? I didn’t get any photos of Chance with his great-grandma because, one, we suck with cameras and are always forgetting them, and two, my granny has the same aversion to pictures that I do (it’s another family trait) so she didn’t volunteer for any.
Me (gasp!) and the kid on the ferry going into Seattle.
Dude… check it out! It’s SO TRIPPY!
More planes. "Seatbelts, schmeatbelts. I’m going home anyway."
Thanks for sharing those pics, WG!
You look like the cartoon of you! So cute. Chance is cute too, but I’m sure you knew that already!
Projectile vomiting. Ahh, I remember the old days. Glad that’s finished.
He is an absolute doll! As I’m sure you are aware.
Great pictures…I love seeing the alter-egos of my favorite bloggers. And Betsy is right…the resemblence to the cartoon you is eerie.
Yay pictures. I love pictures!
I can’t believe you went all the way to Seattle just to find someone who looked like your cartoon. I’m surprised that you didn’t try to light her hair on fire for the “candid” shot. Stop building these walls around you. Let us in.
Whoa…so that’s the house where your ghastly encounter happened? Looks like a normal, nice house from the outside anyway.
It looks like it was a little cool up there in WA.
Great pics.
Igmar, how do you have such a sense of my inner workings?
No really, about the cartoon… my friend designed it for me. I asked him to do something with a female silhouette in the logo and instead, to my surprise, he just drew a cartoon version of me. (I do kind of love the fact that it never gains weight, ages, shows stretch marks, etc. etc.)
About the house… I KNOW! It looks completely innocuous. My grandmother said she had a horrible nightmare the night they first visited the house. It sounds like for a long time my grandfather insisted that the “funny feeling” from upstairs was really just from the unlevel flooring and vertigo.
I love the pictures! He’s so cute, and the picture of you and your son is ADORABLE!
