About a year ago around Christmastime we drove only two hours east but it felt like we had gone on an international trip, flown 12 hours east and landed in Germany.

After moving to the Seattle area we were excited about being so close to Vancouver and had a weekend up there in mind for a while. Then came Orlo and he hated the car for the first 6 or so months of his life. Our trips in the car were clipped to 10-minute screaming sessions,…
