It&#8217;s my first ski trip where I had a friend who didn&#8217;t ski, and Josh and I spent the time exploring the (really cute) town of Leavenworth, beating the entirety of The Metronomicon (a niche combination of rhythm game and RPG that I think we both really enjoyed), and playing board games. There was also some Seattle exploration (including some gorgeous parks) around the skiing portion.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images2\/21226rainier.jpg\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the amazing company and their gracious hospitality (and maybe also the lack of me having to worry about work), it was definitely the best ski-related vacation I&#8217;ve ever had, and a really nice vacation in general as well.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images2\/21226game1.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

trip, we&#8217;ve hit another 25,000 photo milestone, and I&#8217;ve been negligent in running proper stats given the camera changes (loss of work iPhone, gain of a new moto), so it&#8217;s time for more photo stats!<\/p>\n<p>First, the cameras, to which there are quite a few changes.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tr>\n<td>Intel Pocket PC camera<\/td>\n<td>October 6, 2000 &#8211; September 18,
