NW Tour Part 2

After the wedding in Portland, we dropped Eden off in Seattle and snuck up to the San Juan Islands for a mini-vacation with August. (Brian's sister, Erin (aka Tia), had planned a special vacation for the girls in Seattle.)

As much as this boy loves his big sister, I think he relished in a couple of days of complete attention from both parents.

We walked out on False Bay.

We watched the whales

with our wonderful host and tour guide, Rosalie.

Unfortunately, my pictures don't do justice to this experience.

It was whale soup out there and I couldn't catch a single breaching whale on camera!

What a wonderful location to get away and relax.

What is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, is one of the four main types of cardiomyopathy. Characterized by the abnormal growth of muscle fibers on the heart muscle, HCM often results in a thickened septum and/or left and right ventricle. The thickening of the muscle can result in a resistance of blood flow both in and out of the heart’s chambers. When this occurs, the heart must work harder to pump blood throughout the body.

While perceived to be somewhat rare, HCM affects an estimated one in 500 people. It is the number one reason for heart transplants and the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in people under age 30. HCM may be best known for its role in cardiac arrest and subsequent death in some young professional athletes. The cause of HCM is largely unknown, however current research suggests it is genetic in origin.
