The weather finally warmed up this week. We went from freezing temperatures and threats of snow to 40 degree weather and typical Seattle skies (for those of you not familiar with typical Seattle skies: grey and wet). However, we haven't seemed to notice it much; too many other things to do.
Doug has kept busy this week dreaming of his Eee PC. This isn't necessarily the latest greatest in laptop technology, but it is definitely the smallest! On Wednesday his dreams turned into reality and the long awaited laptop (3 shipping days) arrived on our doorstep. I haven't heard about much else since its arrival ;0).
Yesterday we went climbing again a Vertical World. Doug's ability to scale a wall is quickly coming back to him. He climbs a 5.9 like a ladder while poor Mike and I struggle with 5.6 and 5.7. I did try to tackle a 5.10 just for fun, and actually made it past one of the hardest spots, but had to stop just after (only about half way up the wall) because I had used up every ounce of energy I had to make it as far as I did. Maybe next time. Once again both Doug and I came home very sore...I love a workout that doesn't feel like your working out :0).
Today, we look ahead to summer vacation plans. We are planning on taking a cruise to Alaska with Chad and Sarah. We were thinking about late August, but looks like the prices are better in June...may just mean we need more layers at the ports of call ;0). Anyway, I checked with my boss and it surprised me to hear that today was the cut off to put in for summer vacations, so I quickly requested the June dates and hope that will work for us all. Yippee...a cruise, I have never been on a cruise :0).
