It has been over 2 years since my last post and boy did we live it up. Too much has happened since Mark went skiing in January 2009 but to recap we...cruised to Alaska, drank wine in Eastern Washington, camped at Lake Chelan, got an awesome job (Angela), made great friends, toured the Oregon coast, hiked, kayaked, and generally enjoyed Seattle.
I have to say moving to Seattle was a shock - a big, gray, damp, liberal, enviro conscious shock but we LOVED it. Mark would like to point out that I loved it after a year, but I loved it nonetheless. In February 2011 we found out that Mark's career was taking us away from the city we had grown to love. Appleton, WI was to be our new home (Mark's hometown so you know he was excited). We looked at each other, shed a few tears for Seattle, and off we went.
I didn't think about reviving the blog for the move to Appleton because I had Facebook. I have realized rather quickly that not everyone is addicted to FB like I am so to share our stories I am breathing new life into the blog. I did have to re-title the VanGroll's Head West to The VanGroll Adventure Continues.
Please follow along as we make our home in the land of cheese! Pictures to come soon.
