Ellie Returns: The Other Side of Skipping Town
We're so excited to have Ellie, our youngest child, back with us for another episode!
If you remember, the last time we heard from her was WAY back in Episode 3: OreGONE. Emotions were raw back then, and she was dealing with something neither of our other two children had to face--she'd never come back to her childhood home, because her parents were leaving Los Angeles, too.
Fortunately, Ellie had an action-packed Fall and she's here to update us on all of the adjustments she had to make in college, what it's like being a D1 athlete and, most of all, how she's feeling now about our decision to travel and find a new hometown.
Bonus - Sneak Attack: Vancouver
Denise has never been to Canada. James has done the requisite trip to Niagara Falls. With Vancouver only a few hours from Seattle, this Sneak Attack on Vancouver was destined to happen. From North Vancouver to Granville Island, our young lovers make the most of a 2-day getaway and British Columbia lands on their list of possible future homes.
Cheapless in Seattle
We've made it to The Emerald City and there is so much to love, but love doesn't pay the mortgage. We join the seminary at Saint Edward State Park, but they eventually excommunicate us which starts a scramble for Seattle accommodations.
