I took a roadtrip. I left on Sunday and returned yesterday. I drove across our beautiful state of Washington from one side to the other. Takes about 4.5 hours. I left the westside maritime climate and travelled over the pass through the Cascade mountains. After descending all the way to the Columbia River gorge at Vantage, I climbed back up onto the flat plains. Nothing but farmland and wide open spaces for miles and miles. It has its own beauty each mile I travelled. I clicked photos out the window as I drove along.
I was headed to see friends and spend a couple of days in Spokane. The weather was sunny and hot. I decided that I really love being warm. I do love Seattle, but I love being warm. It was nice to get away.... but it was also nice to come home.
