Washington Travel Blogs

Tuesday was amazing. The like of which I have never seen in America before. Everyone was full of nervous energy and perfect strangers were first partners in anticipation and then in celebration. I yelled myself hoarse with joy, and I was not alone. It was certainly a big day for America. They…

About three weeks worth of Waterfall hunting. From California north through Oregon, Washington, then through Idaho and Monatana and Glacier National Park. Then south through Idaho, and Nevada before coming home.

When I got back to my friend's apartment in Seattle, I was exhausted. I laid down to rest for a little bit and ended up sleeping for a few hours. It was evening when I woke up so we went to get dinner and then went out in Capitol Hill. We went into the first bar we could find that didn't appear to …

I left Korea at 6:40pm  in the evening on the 18th and get home at 12:30 pm the afternoon of the 18th. It's always weird traveling across the international date late and repeating a day.Home...it feels good to be back! My youngest son and his girlfriend pick me up at the airport. When we get t…

I saw on my updates that Vivian was coming to Seattle. I welcomed her to the site and told her if i could be of help on her upcoming trip to let me know. She said she would love to meet if possible and other questions were asked/answered for local info and to do list. When the time came for he…

Twenty years ago today the Berllin wall fell. What a great day for the world. What a great visit it has been. Other than Saturday, the rain went away and I got to take some great photos. My favorite highlights of the trip would be the Space Needle and Cape Flattery and Hobuck Beach at Olympi…

Yeah, just when my mothering instincts were getting the best of me, I had an eye-awakening moment and saw what life could have been like (I know only for a day, but...) if I chose to have children.My sister in law had a neighborhood support group to attend. It was the first meeting and these were a…

Our next stop was at the McClellan Viewpoint of Mount Saint Helens.  This is the south eastern view, which is nearly opposite of the usual view you see of Mt St Helens.  More than 25 years after the giant eruption, its not easy to really see how much damage was done.   Farther nor…

I'd been talking to my friend Shane about the waterfalls I saw at Columbia Gorge when I was there in February.  Yeah, yeah...I know, blog still pending on that trip too!!! Someday, I will get caught up! LOL.  Anyways, since I was coming up to Seattle, Shane suggested we check ou…

The purpose of this blog will primarily be to give ideas to people that are looking to come to Seattle and the Puget Sound region... In my journals I am going to try and provide links and perhaps boring detailed info to help people choose what is what when they come this way. My experience with fed ex should help me give good advise for driving tips and getting around in general. so this blog will be a constant work in progress. PLEASE LOOK FOR NEW REVIEWS AND JOURNALS IN UPCOMING DAYS 4/20

Today was mostly a driving day.  They call Montana "Big Sky" country, it could just as easily be called "Long Road!"   We traveled through Idaho and into Washington, along the Columbia River gorge. Our goal was to reach North Cascades National Park before dark, so we only made one si…

Can't believe it's already morning and it's time for me to head out to the Sacramento airport...I am flying to Juneau Alaska for 4th of July weekend! I am really excited but nervous at the same time as I know I will be on my own for much of the trip since my friend is working the whole time I am he…

NOTE: just wanted to let y'all know this is the journaling entries I wrote while I was on my trip. I tried to journal about each day either ON that day, or the following day. This is why some of the "Journal Log Times" are the next day. I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts and actions! I am trying …

Another of Anita’s (aelder2259) wonderfully manipulated photos was one of her father that she had placed onto another that made it look like he had just fallen from the top of a many storied building.  I looked at the great job and wondered if I could do anything with it.  Ah, I finally…
