Alright, this year we had to limit our travel because of stupid responsibilities. However we are still gonna do a little pacific northwest visit. 3 days in Seattle and 4 days in Portland. Even though we will only be gone a week, my boss is making me audit one of our vendors up there, as payment for taking time off.

In Seattle we're staying a few blocks from the Space Needle, as it's my first time there and I have such a small amount of time, I figure I should get the touristy stuff out of the way first.

In Portland we're staying with family and will be checking out all the cool restaurants and maybe doing a beach day.

I am actually looking at boarding our pets, because it would be difficult to get someone to watch them. Anyone have any experience/advice for that?
