STP

This weekend Jeff and his friend Martin completed the STP (Seattle to Portland) bike ride. After 16 hours of riding and 202 miles they arrived in Portland, amazingly with smiles on their faces and still friends. They left the University of Washington campus at 6am and rolled into Portland around 10pm the same day. Amazing!

Beach weekend






Jeff surprised us with a weekend away at the beach for the 4th of July and to celebrate my birthday! It was Cole's first time at the beach, and he HATED the sand. We tried several times to get him to warm up to the idea but he just wasn't having it. The pictures say it all. We were joined by our friends Tammy and Tim for a night and had a wonderful time relaxing in our cozy cabin.

We took a long weekend trip to New York City to celebrate our birthdays (30 - yikes!) and get away for a bit. We had a wonderful time running around the city and checking out all of the different neighborhoods and well known sites. In four days we packed in: a morning jog over the Brooklyn Bridge, a visit to Rockefeller Center, hours spent roaming around Central Park, Greenwich Village, Little Italy, Chinatown, the Financial District and Union Square, a trip on the Staten Island ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, a Mets vs. Yankees game at Citi Field and much more. We stayed in a darling little hotel in Soho and Jeff was a master at navigating our way on the subway. We missed Cole a ton but it was great to get away together.
