Road Trip! Summer 2014 Revisited

Every year for my husband's birthday, we plan a great road trip somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. One year, we drove down to California via the coast and nearly killed each other on the last leg of the trip. Ashland, we need a do over! Another time, we visited the rainforest of the Olympic Peninsula and spent some time in the San Juan Islands. Wow, what a beautiful part of the country! And last year, we decided to explore central Washington.

We spent out first night in Seattle, ok a suburb of Seattle (big mistake! splurge on the location!). Didn't get much sleep that night, due to the insane amount of teenagers inhabiting this hotel, but whatever~

Took a spin on an insanely huge ferris wheel and got in some great views of the city.

Heading out of town, the moon was calling my name. It hung so low and large, I begged J to pull over and let me take a picture. Look where we ended up.

Wow, if this is any indication of what Seattle is really like, outside of the tourist traps, sign me up.

The next morning, we headed up to Woodinville, a suburban farm oasis just outside of the city. There was a festival going on at the Lavendar farm. Beautiful day!

Before we headed out for our first night of camping/yurting, we stopped in Woodinville Whiskey Company for a few provisions for the trip. The building is absolutely gorgeous.

They even gave the kids a whiskey tasting. Kidding! They also bottle maple syrup. It's amaaaaaazing! Last time I was at Whole Foods, I noticed they started carrying it, thank goodness. Woodinville is a long drive from here!
