Washington Was...
T
o our faithful readers (eh um, that's you, friends & family :-),
For those of you that know me, then you know how much I enjoy blogging about life, adventures, people, and places. I pour my heart and time into a blog post (borderline obsessed, maybe??). Anyone who has done something similar knows the time and energy it takes to keep up with it. I'm afraid with Washington though, I am unable to devote much time (for now). You see, the sun, sand, and sea have been calling my name ever since we hit the beautiful West coast last month. I'm finding it harder and harder to pull myself away from time with family and am doing my best to soak it all up, so to speak.
I will get back to this post though, I promise, as we do have many good stories to tell of our time in Washington. Washington was a lot to us. It was more beautiful than we thought. It had beaches that left us speechless. Showers that kept us clean! It was a place where we met people that became friends. It had National Parks that had us wanting more. And cities that were vibrant. It was everything we needed after our Canadian high. This state impressed us, enough that we stayed two weeks longer than we had planned. We would have never guessed the amount of sights we'd see, people we'd befriend, and fun we'd have. Until we get back to it, here is a photo collage in chronological order. And to make up for my lack of post, here are some extra stats about our time in Washington. I hope that's enough to keep you wanting more...(if not, I have some work to do!)
