A Spring Visit to Idaho – Photo Essay
Farmland and tractors. Welcome to the Palouse, the rolling hills of Northern Idaho.
Right after my brother’s baby Sam was born in mid-April, Chelsea and I flew north to Moscow, Idaho to meet the new addition to the family and visit everyone. It was a couple weeks filled with dinners, walks, hikes and bike rides, and plenty of oohing at the newborn. The perfect family visit.
I’m experimenting with shorter, photo-heavy posts on a more frequent basis with my usual posts mixed in. Let me know what you think! Quite the backlog of shots from our travels to work through still since I’ve been so busy. Here are a few pictures from this visit!

My cheery aunt, Angie. (Wow, my hair was getting long.)
A little more acroyoga (my brother teaches it).
The classic (to me) Idaho symbol: the silo. Next to a great rails-to-trails bike path (you can see Chelsea and my dad cruising).

Chelsea’s Snow Princess cold weather hat. (Borrowed from Chelsea’s mom.)
Patchwork quilt of the Palouse, as the area around our home town is known. (Airplane shot!)
How did you get that airplane shot? Crazy!!
There’s…someone on the wing! Haha. Sony NEX camera through the window. Or my iPhone. Can’t recall! Glad you liked it.
Ohhhhh, gotcha. Looked like a similar view from when I jumped out of a small plane…I wasn’t sure if there was a missing story there. 🙂
Oh, you mean riding 1/2 way to Seattle on the wing and wingsuit jumping into the Cascades, landing on a frozen lake before grabbing a caribou shuttle to Portland?
Yes, exactly.
Looks familiar! Do your parents still live in the same house as 25 years ago?
Sure do! Right on the route you used to ride for some miles in the Palouse.
