I’m really looking forward to my upcoming East Coast trip – I leave for Boston on Saturday night. It’ll be great to see friends and family, but it’ll also be nice to have a week away from Seattle. It’s been a rough couple of weeks in the job search department (though things are looking up), so a little time in another city to collect my thoughts will be a welcome change.

Beyond visiting folks, I don’t have a ton of plans. I still haven’t made it to the new ICA on the waterfront in Boston, and I’ve heard good things about the Folk Art Museum in New York, so those are possibilities. And of course, no East Coast trip would be complete without some ice cream.
