Have you ever thought about Reserved Parking at SEA (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport)
June 4, 2025If you’ve traveled through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, you’ll know it’s busier than ever. Seattle has become quite the destination. From cruise ship travel to soccer (FIFA Club World Cup and World Cup 2026) and just regular business and tourism, SEA never really quiets down especially from May to September. During this time, having guaranteed parking […]

Chicago is a family-friendly destination from Seattle just a short non-stop flight away
May 23, 2025A closer flight than Hawaii but a further one than Los Angeles, Chicago is a family-friendly destination from Seattle (about a 4 hour plane ride away) that I didn’t really think about when the kids were small and I kind of wish I had. It’s really easy to get around and it’s such a clean […]

Six the Musical with Broadway in Seattle and why you should see it when it heads to your town
May 13, 2025The first time I saw Six the Musical I didn’t give it a fair chance. It was on the same night Taylor Swift was in the city and I did not have tickets to Taylor Swift. And nothing else should be playing in any city on a night Taylor Swift is in town. Fast forward […]

Maybe the most peaceful oasis in Seattle Center is the Bar at Chihuly Garden and Glass
May 8, 2025I often forget to tell people to go to the Chihuly Garden and Glass at Seattle Center. It’s a really gorgeous museum but it’s also a little spendy (and it doesn’t take a whole lot of time to visit) so it’s hard to put on a must see list. But it really should be. Dale […]

Life of Pi with Broadway in Seattle and beyond
April 18, 2025I don’t know why I thought that Life of Pi would be a one person play. And I really meant to re-read the novel before I went to the media night for Life of Pi with Broadway in Seattle this past week. But of course, life gets in the way of things like this, and […]

All about perfect Seattle mornings walking the Overlook Walk to Waterfront Park from Pike Place Market
March 27, 2025It’s the end of March, and I feel like Seattleites have been more than lucky to have the Overlook Walk and Waterfront Park pretty much to ourselves this winter. I’ve been feeling especially thankful on the mornings I drop one teen off at school and Scout starts to perk up and whimper as we near […]

February 20, 2025I am often invited to SEA (our airport formerly known as SeaTac and still kind of known as SeaTac but it’s moving towards SEA now) for events because of the blog and instagram and the other day my son and I went for the opening of the last new N concourse shops and restaurants but […]

The Last 5 years and going to a play at the ACT theatre in Seattle
February 14, 2025Theatre has such an interesting unspoken contract that we don’t seem to have anywhere else anymore. Without explicit instructions, we know to find our seats and tuck ourselves carefully into place without jostling the chairs around us all the while clutching jackets, handbags, and programs quietly into our laps. When the lights darken we grow […]

Broadway in Seattle 2025/2026 season musical list (and who else is so excited about the Notebook?)
February 2, 2025I still remember when the Notebook was the opening night movie for SIFF at a fancy theatre downtown and I had no idea I would cry my eyes out and neither did the group of mascara stained ladies I met in the bathroom at intermission either. So I practically squealed when I saw that the […]

The Back to the Future Musical at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle
December 12, 2024Did you love the Back to the Future movie in the 80’s as a kid? And then of course there was the Back to the Future sequel and maybe there were even more but I’m not too sure-everything in that era ended up with at least a Part 2. But we first saw signs for […]

If you go to Japan in August you might need waterproof hiking shoes
September 20, 2024Sometimes there are things you don’t always think about needing on a trip when you go to a place with weather vastly different from where you are coming from.
