Well hello there ladies and gentlemen. I have been a little absent lately so I thought I would drop you a line to say hello and given you a bit of an update.
So the Pacific Northwest has not been my favorite place. I enjoyed Seattle including the original starbucks, Pike Place Market, and dinner with good friends, but other than that I wouldn’t come back. We did go to one of the old port towns, Port Townsend, which was quaint and cute. We also picked fresh lavender on the way home—which was by far the most fun we had.
I do think that part of our disappointment was the realization that we had gone as far west as we possibly could. There is something so tantalizing about “going West.” It’s an inspiration ingrained in us from a young age through stories of manifest destiny. Jack Kerouac further enraptured the feeling in On The Road, but I don’t think you can fully appreciate the feeling until you actually get on the highway. Arriving in Seattle meant an end to that part of our journey and I wasn’t quite ready to say goodbye.
