I continue to write a blog for many reasons even though sometimes I don’t really feel like it. This post is only going to be for #6. I haven’t posted the last 2 months while we have been home in Seattle and I don’t want to forget all the stuff that we did. I’m not…

It is not the “Shame Train”- Take your bike on Light Rail
The Beacon Hill Light rail station in Seattle is 160 feet underground and only accessible with elevators.
