It’s 9:30 pm on Saturday evening and we’re sitting in the airport waiting for our red eye flight back to Blacksburg. Korine is trying to get Zakary to go to sleep but he’s insistent on “going night night ON the plane…”. So, I thought I’d process a few more shots from the space needle which is definitely a must do if you’re ever in Seattle.

I’m in Seattle this week for the AAG (Association of American Geographers). Zakary and I are hanging out doing fun things while Korine gives her talk and does other conference type stuff. The AAG is held in a different city each year, which is cool because we usually make a family vacation out of it. This shot is from the top of the Space Needle looking at downtown Seattle. Makes me want to go back for a night shot!

In early January we flew out to Phoenix, AZ to visit our friends Jenny, Jer, and their daughter Evie who is 20 days older than Zakary. The weather was beautiful! It was great to escape the Blacksburg winter for a few days. We had a blast hanging out with our friends, taking the kids to parks, a museum, and on a desert hike!

Zakary is such a great traveler, even on the plane!

We drove to Roanoke to take Zakary to the Science Museum. He’s still too young to really appreciate all the cool scientific things to see, but he still had a great time. I think the electric globe was his favorite!

He also enjoyed touching all the different types of rocks, including this piece of quartz.

Dinosaurs! RAWR! Zakary normally likes dinosaurs (we bought him a toy one on the way out), but he was oddly quiet and simply stared at this huge T-Rex.
