field trip: Edmonds, Washington

The weekend before school started I boarded a Bolt Bus for Seattle and the surrounding suburbs, my main goal to meet Ethan and Kaylee's son, Anker. The deal was sweetened by John being in town for a film premier, and Nicole making the drive down from Bellingham like it wasn't no thang.

It was wonderful to do very little of anything besides eat, stroll the streets of sleepy Edmonds, ride bikes with Addy, and pass tiny Anker between us. It's rare these days to get this many of our friends in the same town, what with everyone being strung to the far corners of the earth, so I relished every minute we were able to spend together. Seeing Kaylee and Ethan in their roles as Parents 2.0 was an added bonus.

Hey guys, when are we gonna do it again? i miss you already.
