Prelude

With our Honda packed full of the essentials and an i-pod plump with audio books and pod-casts, Peter and I set out across the western half of the continent last week. We left Minneapolis and wove our way through North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington. Waiting for us at the end of the trip was a new home in Seattle (and a new neighbor named Frank).

The Seattle move was prompted by Peter’s graduate program at the University of Washington, but countless other discoveries have made us feel excited about trying on this new city for size. This blog is a way for me to jot down some of those thoughts for myself, and share them with you, dear reader.

The following photos are a prelude to Seattle, in the order in which they were snapped. In just five photos, you can see two and a half days of cross-country travel. Lucky you!
