While visiting Nisheet’s family in the Seattle area, we planned some fun day trips with the whole family. The first of these trips was to Mount Rainier National Park.

As our Seattle trip was drawing to a close, we had one last must-see attraction. The Seattle Underground. Years ago, I came to Seattle on a business trip, and that was one of the few things that I had time to do. Since I had an absolute blast last time, I knew I wanted to […]
