We are soooo close. I finish at the VA tomorrow, and even though leaving comes with a heavy heart, I truly look forward to Anna being done. She's been busting her ass for 11 years to become a doctor, and on Tuesday it becomes a reality... I know, I know, she's a doctor now, but after Tuesday she's not a doctor in training.
Ella is doing well... unfortunately she has no idea that we are about to pick up and leave, so we hope the transition isn't too hard on her.
For those interested here's our itinerary:
June 26th - hand over the keys to the house
6/26-28 White Salmon where we'll lay low and Anna will sleep and study for the boards
6/29-30 - in Portland for the Boards
6/30 - 7/9 - Michigan visiting Anna's family
7/10 - 19 - Dowling family in Sunriver to celebrate Baba's 70th... and to eat, drink, and be really active
7/19-22 - Olympic National Park
7/22-24 - Seattle with Darren... hopefully sailing
7/24-26 - Alaska Ferry from Bellingham to Ketchikan
7/27 - Matt does a guided fly fishing trip... gotta love my wife
7/28-31 - NE Heckman Lake (backcountry cabin for 3 days)
8/3 - 5 - Wrangell Alaska - Anan Bear Refuge (www.fs.fed.us/r10/ro/naturewatch/southeast/anan/anan.htm)
8/6-9 - Juneau AK (we were supposed to go with Whale Song Adventures, but the guy totally blew us off, and gave our spots away on his boat... I suspect he didn't want a 17-month old crimpin' his style)
8/10-20 - I have no idea... we'll be driving from the top of the inside passage from Haines AK, through Anchorage, down the Kenai to Homer, and back to Anchorage... we'll keep you posted.
I've attached a video of Ella swimming... hope you enjoy.
