What's this all about?

This is a blog about family life and, in particular, family life in the great Pacific Northwest of the United States. I plan to discuss and highlight family issues, family activities, and family travel. Although there will be a general "American" tone to what I publish, I will seek out specifics about the Northwest USA -- which I define as Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska.

Speaking of definitions, my primary definition of "family" is a mom and a dad and a kid or two (or more). My own situation is just that -- mom, dad, two small children. I'm the dad. Whatever your "family," I hope you find something here to make you think, smile, laugh or go "hmmmm...."

My hope is to post here several times a week. We'll see how that goes.
