Two bits

No pictures this time, just two bits of news:

1. We got kayaks! We're so excited. We spend so much money renting kayaks every summer that we finally decided to get our own. We bought them through the boat share program at the Moss Bay Rowing Club. The only downside is that we have to paddle from South Lake Union to get to the Cut...so we'll be needing an hour or so headstart if you want us to meet you in Lake Washington.

2. We finally decided on our honeymoon! We'll start off hiking hut-to-hut in the Bernese Alps (Switzerland), and follow it up by boating along the Dalmation coast (Croatia). We'll end with a few days in Venice (no dog breeds associated with that particular area). I know that this trip was not included in the list of ideas I posted awhile ago, but they satisfy our strict criteria: mountains, beaches, sunshine, no civil unrest.
