This place had someone who answered the phone and soothed my weepy nerves, offering me a number of ideas for various places that might help, and saying they were happy to help if I wanted to get the creature to them out on Bainbridge. I made the trek, and they agreed to check him out and euthanize him if necessary. They charged me nothing. (I did offer a donation to cover their services, which they gratefully accepted.) The lovely folks at this shelter helped make a sad event manageable. I am so appreciative.

Decades ago my parents took us on this great tour of Lake Diablo and the Ross Dam. There was a…read moregreat fried chicken dinner at the end of the tour. I believe you can book the dinner separately if you choose. We went with the midday tour that included lunch. Really pleased to see this is still going as it has been a thing for almost 100 years! I had fond memories of this tour and thought it would be fun for my wife to experience it since she didn't grow up in the PacNW. Booked the tour along with some friends and Mother Nature smiled on us and gave us some spectacular weather. It's a bit of a drive from Seattle but well worth it. There are some fun diversions along the way if you want to stop and get some farm fresh eggs and vegetables too. The friendly guides will also explain to you why the water is a crazy cool shade of green. :) You'll definitely want reservations for this experience. Quintessential PacNW.

The north cascades national park is great for camping! As part of our camping trip we decided to do…read morethe boat tour that takes our around the dams and you get to learn about the history of the area. You're on the boat for about an hour. Did you know that about 20% of the electricity in Seattle comes from these dams? We were able to book a tour for the day after, but I recommended calling in advance as they also have the morning tour which includes lunch and seems to book much faster. We did that one a couple of years ago. There several hike trails, we did the one that ends by the water falls which was fairly easy. There are black bears around but we didn't run into any. There is also access to the water if you like to kayak or float. Oh and near the visitor center they have WiFi!

I found that I had to teach the math over again when she got home from school because she did not understand the various concepts (thank goodness for youtube math vids!) My husband and I spoke with several Learning Centers and finally chose to enroll her in Kumon- Mukilteo. I am so thankful that we did. She attends Kumon every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30-5pm. Initially, I was hesitant about committing to taking her to a specific time every week. But the Program Managers, Ivan and Gwen are very flexible. You simply fill out a form for vacations or requests for changing your schedule times. Kumon offers Math and Reading. They recommend enrolling children in both. However, at the time, our 8 year old daughter was reading at a 6th grade level and we did not find it necessary to enroll her in anything but Math. Everyday, my daughter has about 10 minutes of Kumon homework. Regardless of how old you are, you need to start off with the basics. The older kids often get frustrated with this because they think the work is "too easy." But Kumon wants to ensure that you have the BASICS down before they add more difficult work. Kumon believes that if you have the fundamentals down, the rest of math will be learned much easier. This year, my daughter is kicking butt in school. The Kumon work is putting her well in advance to her 4th grade work. At school, she is currently learning how to multiply in multiple digits. Our daughter has already learned this at Kumon and is currently working on long division. Recently, Kumon Manager, Gwen has informed us that our daughter has a chance for making Kumon's 2018 Honor Roll! Yay! Thank you, Kumon!
