Up, up, and away

Lift off! At the end of August we took a float plane from Lake Union (near our house!) to visit friends on Lopez Island in the San Juan Islands north of Seattle. (The pilot put the kids in the back with the cargo to balance out the heavy luggage the other passengers brought aboard…clearly not following the <25 lb. soft carry-on recommendation we painstakingly adhered to otherwise! Our bags went into the pontoons, and it was a joy to travel lightly…that is, after we figured out how to edit.)
