Spent all of Sunday at Disneyland. Enjoyed lots of Park snacks, rides and shows. Always fun to immerse into a magical world for a time.

Enjoyed a fun, yet very rainy day at Califormia Adventure yesterday. It rained hard until about 3pm, which, while was a pain, kept the crowd and line sizes down. Wearing out rain gear was very helpful through the day.

Lots of fun making memories together!

Name a duo more equipped for a Disney day in which it will rain the whole time. I'll wait.

A short weekend adventure to Portland to support Michael.

We visited Fort Vancouver National Historic Site today. An interesting look at a historical wilderness business and military location that highlights how the Portland area has changed over time.

Biked to see the 392-foot Rainbow Falls and stopped by a working apple orchard to pick ripe Gala apples.

Also got to see some salmon in the Stehekin River.

Did a couple of hikes, including a short section of the Pacific Crest Trail (where we chatted with some of the thru-hikers that had completed over 2000 miles of their 2100+ mile journey).

Day 4 in North Cascade NP:

A transition day as we completed the Ross Lake National Recreation Area section of the Park. Did a couple short hikes before leaving the north section.

Tomorrow, we’ll go to Stehekin to spend a couple days in Lake Chelan National Recreation Area.

Day 3 at North Cascades NP/

Completed an epic hike to Thornton Lake yesterday. Enjoyed clear, sunny weather, allowing for incredible views of the landscape vistas.

The trail was long and steep, which created sore and tired legs. We were very grateful for the showers back at Lake Ross Resort.

A spectacular view of the full moon from our cabin at the Ross Lake Resort last night.

Better luck traveling along the Skagit River and Diablo Lake; followed by our first night of lodging in the exquisite Ross Lake Resort.

Beautiful 2nd day in @NCascadesNPS
A great hike up to Cascades Pass encased in clouds. Wonderful temperatures, but a disappointing lack of views.

In other family news:

We started a new adventure today on day 1 of a trip to @NCascadesNPS. Beautiful turquoise water alongside the Baker River Trail.

Hopefully, more beauty to come, depending on the impact of the smoke from close forest fires.

MLS parenting while on vacation:

Rooting for Michael and FC Dallas tonight at St. Louis while watch online from a small hotel in Concrete, Washington.

We are off on another adventure, and this one has nothing to do with soccer. (Although we will be watching on TV tomorrow.)

Stay tuned for more to come.

On our last afternoon in San Francisco, we visited the @wdfmuseum in the Presidio. Really cool museum that covers the Disney company and family history during Walt’s life.

Adventure recap:

Over the past two days, we explored more of @PointReyesNPS , including the Cypress tree tunnel on the road to the RCA receiving station, the Point Reyes Lighthouse, and multiple wildlife sighting of deer, seals, and humpback whales.
July 18, 2025 at 1:43 AM
In the afternoon, we started to explore Point Reyes National Seashore and saw the impact of plate tectonics movement from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

We also hiked out to Alamere Falls, a tidal waterfall ( look it up).
