Welcome to my blog!  The title requires some explanation so that it doesn't come across as overly pretentious:

My great-grandfather, Edward Stone, was the editor of a major Seattle newspaper. Sometime in the early 1960s he published a series of articles called Seattle Innocents Abroad- taking the series' name from the title of Mark Twain's famous travel memoir, Innocents Abroad. My grandfather's articles detailed his many trips abroad and borrowing from my grandfather for my travel blog seemed an appropriate tribute to a man who loved traveling himself.  I have a great picture of him and my great-grandmother in Egypt which I will attempt to post once we have better internet!
