We finally got around to updating our website!   We’re still trying to determine a layout we like so you may see more changes!

We are really enjoying Seattle so far.  We’ve taken a few road trips to explore the Pacific Northwest including a long weekend in Portland, Oregon and Thanksgiving in Vancouver, Canada.  We recently bought cross country skis and are looking forward to getting on the trails!  While the city does not get a lot of snow, the mountains got about 8 feet so far.

 This year we had a quiet Christmas in Seattle. We invited a few friends who are also new to Seattle to help us decorate our tree on Christmas eve.  Zvonimir and I spent a quiet day at home on Christmas day making cookies.

I organized the Seattle Jingle Bell team for Booz Allen. The Jingle Bell run is a really fun charity 5k running race. With over 10,000 participants, Seattle is the largest Jingle Bell run in the country. We had a team of about 15 people do the race. Each participant is given bells to attach to their shoes and people sing holiday songs along the race. It’s always a fun race and raises money for the Arthritis foundation.

We visited Vancouver, Canada over the Thanksgiving holiday. Vancouver is known as a good food town so much of our itinerary focused on sampling the great ethnic cuisins in Vancouver.

We had Chinese dim sum, Thai and sampled Indian pastries in an area known as Punjab Market. This bustling area known as “little India” is residential area just outside of the downtown, which has one street with Indian markets, restaurants and sari shops.

We also drove to Whistler, a popular ski area north of Vancouver.
