The plan was to spend the night in Seattle, have fun watching a friend’s band play, and then set out for a weekend of visiting more parks in the San Juans, ideally to use my kayak to visit a couple of the marine state parks.

On our last full day of the trip, we took off a bit early to enjoy the sun and scenery.
We took this evening to satisfy a curiousity about Stansbury Island, which is not entirely an island any more due to lower lake levels.
This afternoon (Memorial Day), we visited Great Salt Lake State Park a bit west of Salt Lake City.
I’m in Utah for a few days for a family visit. I had a few hours to myself upon arrival and decided to check out the Ensign Peak Trail, which offered some nice views from above the city.
And now to business …
Adobe’s offices are near Union Square, so what follows are a few pictures from my time in the city.
As I am so often inclined to do, I took the long way from Port Jefferson into the city.
I had all day today to explore. I decided to head up the Connecticut coast for a while and then take a ferry from Bridgeport to the north shore of Long Island.
I arrived this evening a bit early for some meetings at Adobe’s New York offices. As is often the case with travel, there were some misadventures and delays, but it all worked out OK. The highlight of this evening was a stay at the TWA Hotel.
Today we drove north across central Washington for a park visit and a stay in mountains at Sun Mountain Lodge near Winthrop.
We worked from Pullman Thursday and Friday and then headed out in the afternoon. Not much to share from this day, except that I got to introduce Lisa to a favorite place in Richland, The Lodge at Columbia Point.
Remember when I said I had to be back in Eastern Washington right away?
Today we explored Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island State Parks.
There are … more efficient … ways to get from Salt Lake to Park City. But … why? You’d miss out on some amazing scenery.
For something a little different, I drove across the state today before heading to Utah for a few days to visit family. (Why? I need to be in eastern Washington right away when I get back.)
My partner and I took an impromptu trip to Portland and Astoria this weekend. We discovered two great hotels and added three new parks to the 146 Parks project.
The plan was to head east and visit a bunch of new parks for the 146 Parks project. That only sort of happened, but a good time was had nonetheless.
