We haven't been everywhere...yet!

Welcome to our website. We set this up to better detail our vacations and cruises as we explore the world.

We are an early-70s couple who live in Trilogy on Redmond Ridge, a retirement community in Redmond, WA, a Seattle suburb, and we love to travel (Jim is the president of the Trilogy Travel Club).

Kathleen and I met online in November 1997, and we each have kids from previous marriages.

Kathleen has a wonderful daughter (Michelle), a freelance graphic designer, who is married to a great guy (Brian), who runs a high-end European auto repair shop.

Jim has one of each, a son (Josh, who has been with Costco for more than 20 years), who is married. And a daughter (Jenna, an elementary school teacher) who is married to another great guy (Joel, a lieutenant in the Washington State Patrol), and one grandson (Mason, a freshman at Capital HS in Olympia) and one granddaughter (Maylee, a sixth grader at Griffin School), who are the lights of our lives.

Our interests include travel, film, reading, and, for me, photography, cooking and computers–Macintosh computers. I would love to cook for you if you are ever in the Seattle area. There is nothing either of us would rather be doing than traveling with friends and family or just having fun with our grandchildren.

Recent Adventures

Our last three big trips have been amazing. Starting in July 2025, we did our once-in-a-lifetime trip to Southern Africa. October 2025 kept us close to home with another October Bunch trip that included a week in Portland OR and then a cruise on the Columbia River. But our most recent trip (in April/May of 2026) was very different. We joined 39 other members of the Trilogy Travel Club on a Broadway Theater tour.
