I’m back! Some results:
- I spent way too much money. My Visa aches.
- I want to move STAT. Preferable to Vancouver. Preferably after I get a generous benefactor.
- People in Portland are so friendly.
- I spent my sixth wedding anniversary with Cookie A. I am a bad spouse.
- Books + vintage housewares = new shopping obsession (I refer you again to point 1).
- I did not buy any yarn. I know, right?
- A memory card that only holds 75 photos is restrictive to say the least.
But I do have photographic proof of my galavants:
Beautiful Vancouver. Made me feel like a chump for living anywhere but there.
Whistler. Breathtaking but a little too clean.
Portland. The most beautiful homes and gardens. I'll take two.
Seattle. Is it wrong that I felt a little disapointed that it was sunny and thirty degrees?
Elk Island outside of Edmonton. Bison are scary.
You can see all sixty-eight photos here. I’ll be back real soon with my handmade hostess gifts and more summer fun.

It’s our little secret that Seattle is beautiful and sunny! :)

You know, that is almost exactly the trip my boyfriend and I are talking about taking once I’m at my job long enough to get my vacation time (well, minus the time with Cookie A…though I wouldn’t mind that at all). I’ve heard such wonderful things about Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver.

I lived in Seattle for over 4 years, and the secret nobody tells you is that from July to about October, the weather is GORGEOUS! I miss Seattle.

I wish we had taken more photos of all of us. We took like 3 very bad pictures.
