Of the two of us Neil is the outdoor explorer. He is the hiker, the backpacker, the adventurer. For him it’s a passion. Me? I love camping and hiking but usually only after complaining or looking for excuses to bail on things. That’s until we had children. Having children put the outdoors in the forefront … [Read more…]
I’m dreaming of warmer days as I write this way overdue blog post. It feels as if Portland went from Summer directly to winter and I am feeling it today. We also have been hit with the winter colds around here hence such a huge space in posts. I actually didn’t realize that we are … [Read more…]
