It’s natural when it is sunny to want to go and be outside, however, when its been raining the last 3 weeks its necessary to go outside. We made sure we took advantage of the beautiful weather all weekend and we went and played at the park. This park is seriously the coolest park I…

Around our table: New England Clam Chowder
Since moving to Juneau I have had the oportunity to flex my coking muscles. It feels great to get to make good food for my family every day. I also like that it takes the stress out of choosing where to eat, especially in Juneau where the options are incredibly slim. I was taught at…
Optimistic Arizonans
Everyone I have ever met associates Arizona with the desert. That is a fair association given it is the desert but I always find it a little funny, especially after moving here, how many people think Phoenix when they think of Arizona. We receive a lot of comments about how much of a climate change…
We’re not homeless anymore!
Finding an apartment in Juneau has been anything but easy. We looked into housing before we even started the moving process just to see our options. There were maybe 5 or 6 postings a day, if that. That sounds reasonable, except we have a dog and most places in Juneau didn’t accept dogs. We were…
Easter 2015
Happy Easter everyone! As mentioned yesterday, things were going to be quite different this year for easter, or so we thought. All in all, we spent some good time with both our families. At one point we even skyped my younger brothers friends…that was a little odd, and unexpected. BB is starting to figure out…
Being without family for the first time
Easter is tomorrow and we are 1900 miles away from our families. We are spending time as a family, went for a walk, did a community egg hunt, and colored eggs. It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is Easter. BB is not big enough yet to really understand what is going on and so we…
Sleep is a good thing
We were blessed with an amazing sleeper from day 3. We escaped all the dreaded sleepless nights or reversed nights and days. She has basically slept through the night or only woken up once or twice to eat since she was born. Additionally, BB’s Nana and Tata spoiled her at a young age with a…
Day 7: We made it!!
We arrived in Juneau, AK at 4:15 a.m. and we were off the ferry by 4:25. We checked into the extended stay and rested up before really starting our day. Around 11 we decided to stop being bums and go figure stuff out. We went to find our storage unit and planned to put a…
Day 6: And we’re cruisin’
What made our ferry more like a cruise were the 4 stops before our stop. The 1st stop was Ketchikan, AK. At this stop we were given about 2 hours to get off and explore. We were happy to get our feet on dry land, stretch out, and R could hardly contain her excitement to…
Day 5: 5 months and sea sick
When planning the trip we realized that BB was going to turn 5 months old while we were on the hobo cruise. This made me a little sad knowing we would be in the middle of a huge move with a lot of commotion going on and I was afraid we would forget and lose…
Just so Juneau
