Recent trip to Washington Part 5 of 8

 SUPPOSEDLY, WASHINGTON IS RAINY AND foggy most of the year. I spent about 3 months in Ketchikan and there was probably a solid 2 months where it rained 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so I have no reason to doubt this. For the duration of our trip, it was sunny every day except for a solid eight-hour stretch. I personally do not mind the fog. There's something ethereal and almost eerie about it that I absolutely love. Imagine an old shed out in the woods or on the side of the road. Nobody wants to live in it, but there's something beautiful about it. That's how I kind of feel about the fog. 

Recent trip to Washington Part 4 of 8

THERE WAS A BRIEF MOMENT in Leavenworth where we began to wonder if we wanted to stay in Virginia. It's a whole ass Bavarian Christmas town that has a 3 month art festival...yeah...that shit's right up my alley. It's insanely clean, and the people were super friendly. We hiked up maybe 1/4 of Mt. Ranier and while you're not supposed to feed the chipmunks, it's so difficult to turn them down. Did we feed them? I'm not saying we did, but I'm not not saying it, either.
