memorial and church

Another adventure to Tacoma took us to parts of the city I hadn't visited before. The first stop was the War Memorial Park near the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. There were several different walls with the names of people from Tacoma that served, died, and many that were held prisoner during war.

I got to attend an awesome conference last week... the Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference. I learned so much--I'm still digesting it all!

While the conference itself was amazing, I don't have any photos to share from it. However, my colleagues and I took some time to explore Vancouver a little bit and of course I snapped a few photos with my trusty iPhone!



I was on the 15th floor of the hotel... with amazing views of the churches across the street and the city beyond. I spent a lot of time staring out those windows!

I've been able to cross a few things off of my fun summer to-do list... I successfully went on a road trip to CA for John and Tina's wedding and I got some great photos while going through Banff. There's still a bunch of things I want to do, but who knows if I'll get to them before "summer" has passed on into "fall" (if there will even be a difference weather-wise).

I got to check off a couple more when Laura (with Elle) and I went on a little photo adventure to Port Townsend.

I hadn't been to Port Townsend in ages... I knew I liked it, but forgot how much.
